Okay, so don’t laugh. I’m in the grocery store. The frozen food aisle to be exact. I stop in front of the ice cream. In a moment of impulse, I snatch the glass door handle, grab me some butter pecan ice cream and throw it in the top basket of my cart. A few minutes…

I pick my son Danny up from the house of a friend. The car is quiet. “I love you,” says Danny. He shakes his head back and forth with awareness of the words that have just left his mouth. “That’s a habit I picked up from you,” he says with some teenage agony. “One of…

I sip coffee, pull the ponytail holder out of my hair and slide back in the chair. The stylist mixes the dye behind me. I am at Salon Bleu. It’s my favorite hair salon and one of my ‘happy’ places. I am comfortable here and have been a client so long these are also my…

I flop onto my couch, put my computer on my lap and my cold pressed (carrot, cucumber, orange and ginger) juice on the table beside me. I start to watch television much like the rest of us do today, constantly distracted by my laptop. My eyes turn towards the fire fading in my fireplace. The…

The store is bursting with activity. People stand in line arms overflowing with large red hearts and other love professing products. I hear a young father in the isle next to me with his two young boys. “I don’t wanna pick a card,” the boys protest. Obviously, turned off by tons of heart bearing I…

Love should not be complicated. Love should be generous and generosity is a simple concept. It’s important to never lose sight of the fact that relationships are what I call a “Relay.” The beginning of the word ‘rela’tionship implies this significance. It is a back and forth, a give and take, a constant ‘relay’ to…

I often want to scream. To announce to the world that love just simply isn’t that complicated. Ironically, that is often what I tell my marketing clients. I urge them to understand that business is not complicated. On the contrary, it is built upon a few, simple principles. If you stay brand centered and conscious…
