Going Back to the Office

This time we have ample time to prepare. Unlike March 16, 2020, when everything suddenly shut down, this time is different. We’re going back to the office. I remember lockdown like it was yesterday. The kids came home from school excited that they were going to learn from home for a “few weeks.” I wasContinue reading “Going Back to the Office”

Wine for Perseverance

Perseverance is key to keeping your New Year’s resolutions. I have four, which don’t exactly include wine but are attainably focused on my physical and spiritual health.

Wine for Leadership

Leadership development has always been a cornerstone of my career. From my earliest days as a leader in the television newsroom, serving as a producer, to my position at Lockheed Martin as the inaugural program manager for the Communications Leadership Development Program, to participation in Leadership Greater Syracuse and other similar programs, I continue to hone my skills in this area to grow as an employee and a person.

We don’t have any plans besides church and religion on Sunday. That is a wonderful weekend! I mostly graded public relations writing assignments with groceryContinue reading “Wine for Lazy Saturdays at Home”

Election Night Wine – It’s Complicated

I agonized over what to write this morning, the day after the U.S. Presidential Election. I didn’t want to turn this blog into my own personal political soapbox. But I know some of my followers were dying to know – what kind of wine goes with Election Night? Well, wonder no more – Conundrum red blendContinue reading “Election Night Wine – It’s Complicated”

Slowing Down for Summer Vacation

Summer vacation is in full swing and like many other people, I’ve slowed down a great deal – at work, at home, online, etc. It’s a time to relax and pause to take inventory of everything in your life, as well as to enjoy the here and now. Last week we took our annual familyContinue reading “Slowing Down for Summer Vacation”
