what are your career plans for 2014?
A career is a long and arduous thing when you’re not inspired. Retirement can’t come fast enough.

(And I know that you secretly know this already.) Since…

what is bliss? defined as poetry.
Bliss is you. Inspired. Creating the life of your dreams. On purpose. The recipe? Clearly set intention. Brutal kindness. Mad, mad, mad … LOVE. … and truth. Being genuine. This is “the” magic.

curse career bliss – okay, why not?
All of time suddenly started to move in slow motion. Her eyes bulged. Here message obviously serious. Her voice raised. Ready. Aim. Fire. “Your company concept doesn’t sound serious at all. In fact it sounds flakey. And to associate yourself with the word ‘bliss’ – are you serious?!” It’s funny because I had been saying…
