May 09, 2021

Last week, I shared some ideas from a small-staff association executive whose organization ...

Is this proof that there's actually life on Mars?

life on mars

What if we've seen life on Mars but just didn't realize what we were looking at?

Mother's Day musings and thoughts about the Moon

May 09, 2021

mother's day astrology
mother's day

Mother and Baby by Gustav Klimt

No wonder mothers have their own day – one could argue that they are the single biggest influence on our lives. A father can be absent at a birth, but never the mother! We spend nine months in the womb of our mothers, wrapped in her energy imprint and (some say) absorbing her experiences.

To promote her new book, Antitrust: Taking on Monopoly Power from the Gilded Age to the Digital Age, Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota gave a series of interviews this week, one of which was with me. She told me outright that our session was not her favorite of the tour—that honor went to her comedic exchange with Stephen Colbert a few days earlier, which she recounted to me line by line.

Physical images don't fade away - they stay forever. Just like the values held by these young activists. Paintings were used in an OOH campaign, as ...
