Driven to Distraction – 6 Strategies for Creatives to Get More Done
19 Apr 2013I could move mountains if it weren’t for “distractions.” (Click to Tweet) I mean, really, the shiny things get in the way, catch my eye and I’m gone. It’s become more challenging since I’ve become a corporate refugee, because now I’m doing creative work and am accountable to only myself. We are all creative […]

Butt in Saddle, Peace in Heart
12 Apr 2013Motivational quotes…pretty pictures…we love them, don’t we? Sometimes they go deep, layers and layers deep. This Hafiz quote struck me with its depth and profundity.

While I Was Busy Being Someone Else
27 Sep 2012Strange thing happened the other day… I was called to recount my past life in detail. My corporate life. When this happened, I began to behave like the person I was back then. I got edgy, sharply strategic, unsettled. I am not a corporate type. It’s not that I’m not smart enough, aware enough, creative […]

Life Imitates Art
19 Sep 2012Welcome to my blog – Life Imitates Art. Oscar Wilde wrote in his essay The Decay of Lying: “Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life.” It’s an interesting perspective and a stimulating argument. I find parallels in life, work, art and human nature. It has always interested me. I often find it hilarious, […]
