Dear Reader, When was the last time that you had an interview for work or school? I’m applying for graduate schools now and just completed a preliminary interview today. The process of applying to work or a school can be both exciting and incredibly stressful. When applying for an opportunity, you are essentially committing your... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, Life is comprised of a million unique little moments. In each moment of our lives, we make a sub-conscious decision – to live in the moment or not. It's binary. Living in the moment means actively engaging in your senses and experiencing the present. Living in the moment means that you are neither... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, Have you ever lived in more than one area of the same city? I have had the pleasure of living in a few different places around Boston. Today, one of my jobs took me to Boston’s Fenway neighborhood (home of the Red Sox ball park). When I lived along Boston’s green line, I... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, Have you ever tried to take a picture of the moon? Well, if you were using just a camera phone, you were probably left disappointed with the outcome. Pictures of the moon and many other moments in life are simply you-had-to-be-there moments. A you-had-to-be-there moment is often a great moment! Good, bad, or... Continue Reading →

Dear Reader, Sprichts du Deustch? Well, me neither, at least not yet anyway. Usually, I would answer the "can you speak German" question with "ich kann ein bisschen..." (I can a little). I am on a German-learning journey right now. I love learning languages and although I am not fluent in any foreign language, I’m... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, It is the point of no return in Boston. There comes a time every autumn when the temperature plummets overnight and there is no sign that it will be warm again until spring. Although it has not exactly been warm lately, this is the first time that temperatures dropped below freezing. As a... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, Why is it so hard to start new routines? Well, I guess that isn’t always the case. For example, if we one day decided to do something fun like enjoy a fancy pastry everyday after work that would probably be very easy to accomplish. However, if we decided that we wanted to go...

Dear Reader, Is it hard for you to ask others for help? For some people, asking for help is not a problem at all. One of my colleagues is all too eager to ask for help. Sometimes in the middle of a conversation with him when a problem arises, he will pause the conversation to... Continue Reading →
