I’ll confess, I’m getting bored: Los Angeles has been an adventure, but after eight months of being on America’s West Coast full time, I think it’s reaching a natural conclusion. I’ve tried getting into real estate, music, acting, modeling, and now dance…and none of it … Continue readingNo, We Won’t Go Back!
You know, I’ve pretty much decided to bite the bullet and just start my own dance studio once I move to Greater Los Angeles. I’ll need some kind of job or business to support myself — the money raised by liquidating my house won’t last … Continue readingMy Own Dance Studio, Here I Come?
Once again tonight I ruminate on the topic of what exactly I could do with myself when I have an MBA (and my favorite classes in college were art history, global business, and project management), an independent and entrepreneurial mindset…and a CV that consists of … Continue readingVentures Too Many, or Just Enough?

But really, I just couldn’t resist making a whole blog post out of a meme … Continue readingOn the “We’re So Blessed” Starter Pack
