Today, I found a quote from Maya Angelou on LinkedIn, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” Originally, my blog post was going to be called “An Honest Letter To A Friend,” but this seemed to suit the post even better. 🙂 You see, we all… Read More Know Better, Do Better
Isn’t life great when we have all the answers? When things are black and white, it’s easy (or at least easier) to make a choice.

I think it is important that everyone has a happy place. For me, one of the happiest places I can be is a kitchen. It may sound strange, so let me explain… While I do know my way around a kitchen nowadays, I don’t love the kitchen because I’m some sort of exquisite chef. I… Read More Happy Place
On the whiteboard of my office you will find many quotes. It has now become a bit of a tradition that my whiteboard is for quotes not notes.
