Statistics (those trustworthy things…) tell me that people will have up to four different careers in their lives. That makes a lot of sense to me, but what makes more sense is the “serial entrepreneur”-ness of being one of the weirdos who think life isn’t interesting enough without the stress of trying to run your … Continue reading

Your brain has more to do with finding a date than you might realize. Try going about finding your date for Valentine’s Day using some smarty-pants neurobiolgy science. 1.       Drop the list.  We all have them—that list of must-have attributes we are looking for in our partners.  Now, I’m not suggesting that you settle for Mr. … Continue reading

Do you know someone who complains all the time, blames everyone else for her problems and will tell even the clerk in the checkout line just how lousy her life is? Time to suck it up, princess. “I didn’t realize it at the time, of course, and honestly, no one does,” she said. “But I … Continue reading

The International Museum of Women has one of the most inspiring exhibits I’ve ever experienced, and it’s changing and growing all the time. Called Curating Change, this series of features by Guest Curators on the global issues that matter most to them.
