We Know What Doesn’t Work
I was feeling off these past two days. A 7 out of 10 at best. I got irritated easily. My tone was short. I wasn’t being curious. And my teammates noticed. (Even when I think I’m doing such a good job at hiding it, people will always notice. They may not be able to pinpoint …

Love Is A Four Letter Word
Jason Mraz’s new album “Love is a Four Letter Word” was released this morning! It is art. I smile when I bop along to his uplifting backbeats in “Living in the Moment” and “Everything is Sound.” My heart feels the pang of past lovers with songs like “I Won’t Give Up” and “In Your Hands.” …
