Hi! It's Friday, and if you're reading this, you've made it through a challenging week. (I think the only person not experiencing an entire life upheaval is probably one living on a no-contact island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.) I'm not even gonna …
We’ve Been Training for This
Is it the end of the world as we know it? Probably. What's happened in the United States (not to mention, the world) over the last 7 days is, as the news anchors incessantly say, "unprecedented." Mainly because the last time there was a pandemic (well, I'm …
The Trump Card
"So if clubs are trump (the winning suit), then the jack of spades becomes a jack of clubs." My best friend from first grade lives a block from my parents and while I've been awaiting home renovation to be complete, we've been hanging out. One gray Saturday, she, her …
Change or [REDACTED]
A friend of mine shared something on Facebook that read like a punch in the face. Well, that's not new! Plenty of Facebook reads like a punch in the face. But this was one of those little phrases — callouts, quotes, motivational mantras — that made me gasp. Once I absorbed it (but …
Can’t Live Without It

In the November 2019 edition of Green Profit, agency-owner Katie Elzer-Peters addresses the elephant that is in the corner of every room when she meets a client for the first time: fear of getting "agencied." Every business owner at one time or another has been approached by a huge, shiny marketing …
Something Smells
Mold was the first thing that came to mind. My living room smelled like a wet towel left on the bathroom floor. So I started to determine the cause of the smell and what to do about it. "This is not normal," I thought. I did one test and the results came back within acceptable …
Earworm Inside
You could feel the collective intake of breath as the music swelled. From the very back of the Disneyland Hyperion theater to the front row, the audience prepared to belt out the words along with the cast. Let it gooooooooooooo! Let it gooooooooooooooo... Obviously the song …
#Cancelled
"Canyoucomepickmeupinralighateightoclocktonightokthanksloveyoubye." I got the dreaded text message while enroute from Rhode Island to the Bronx. "I can get you out of LGA today but I can't get you into Wilmington," my rep in Phoenix said. (I know where she lived because while she rebooked my …
