the sweetness of doing nothing
Just published on my work blog, Inspired Ideations "What Employers Want." Check it out to learn some of the inside secrets (as told to me by professional career coach/inspirational speaker, Rob Sullivan...
I wish I could have gone to Europe and bought art, antiques and other wonderful beautiful things. My baggage and budget situation limited my ability to do that, so I got creative and took pictures...
I used to be a "night owl." Since starting college(/getting old...) I have no problem going to bed at 10:30 on weeknights, and depending on what mood I wake up in, I don't mind the mornings. The...
Recently all I have been thinking and dreaming about are effective websites, clickthrough rates and impressions (which I still don't completely understand), and how to effectively communicate with the technologies that are available to "Generation Y," (apparently I fall under that category). The conversations I have been a part of at work, my internship, and in class have got me really excited about (my) life and about reaching out to people to make meaningful collections, and ultimately raise awareness.

I need to stop using the words "I will NEVER..." because it seems I always end up jinxing myself into doing that exact thing within a matter of days. So.... I joined Twitter. The official reason...
Last Wednesday I started my new internship at the Clarke House Museum (located at Indiana and 18th Street). The Clarke House is the oldest house in Chicago, built in 1836 for Henry Clarke and his family, it was one of the few structures to survive the Chicago Fire (1871) because it was outside of the fire zone.

My apologies for the unanswered calls and texts. When I get into these moods, its usually best to try to calm down before making contact with society, unfortunately going to work and to the store for cat food are still necessary. Because I am in ill-spirits, I will say no more. I am going to try the usual things that...
The world lost an incredible man to cancer this Monday morning. My uncle Joe was one of the most interesting people that I have ever met, and not only was he a great uncle, but also a person that I...
I am taking a class right now called "Critical Thinking" and one of the main topics we have been discussing in the past several classes is technology and the effects it has on our lives. Although I feel that my professor is a little over the top sometimes and most of the readings we are given are completely one sided (against technology), she does make some really good points. Facebook is a technology that I have somehow become addicted to. its on my phone so I can look at it whenever I want, and sometimes I find...
