The Intentional Pursuit of Big Dreams
For many years now, I have explored the age-old question of who am I? Like, really? When you get beneath the exterior, when things get quiet, the clouds part and the skies clear, who am I in my essence? Still working on that… But, a parallel we invariably find ourselves confronting regularly, whether we’ve found... Continue Reading →
I often say that, in our world today, we only seem to be allowed to have two states. Blessed and blissed. Don’t get me wrong. I love these states! And, there is a whole rainbow of states and emotions that I dance through almost daily. I think we all do. And, these days, it... Continue Reading →

Sitting in the room, surrounded by the brightest women from the biggest law firms and some of the most accomplished and acclaimed General Counsel, I’m struck by the energy, the power and the wisdom. It’s palpable. Ms. JD’s LaddHer Up retreat brings together women law firm associates in their first six years of practice –... Continue Reading →
