You are Incorporated

Quickly now, a few thoughts before I trek to school for my Business and Global Societies lecture with Joanne Lawrence.  By the end of this Bowie will mean individualism and he will also signify sticking it to the man (in some respects). I’ll also touch on not buying what’s being sold and selling, well, yourself. … More You are Incorporated

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow…or with Cancer?

~A Commentary on Romance, Life and Cancer~ Cancer statistics grow boring. Anyone can look around and see its prevalence: magazine covers, blog articles, a relative’s unexpected diagnosis, a friend’s predicted one, a coworker takes leave off work, a distant acquaintance mentioned in a conversation, “Oh did you hear? She died last year of cancer.” Not … More Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow…or with Cancer?

Empower Your Mind

~An open perspective on healthcare~ Healthcare used to be a blind dictation given by the doctor.

Perhaps fear kept patients … More Empower Your Mind

#thetinafund

In a letter my mother wrote to me while she was in the hospital, she said, “Writing this note, knowing you’ll be holding it soon, gives me goosebumps!”  On my first night home from Beijing, I found it tucked under my pillow and I  smiled at my mother’s cheesy words. My mother who passed away 3 … More #thetinafund

Wrap it up in Red

Blood. I really do love it. I consider it one of my life’s passions, along with woman’s rights, writing, orchids and baby foxes. The last two are temporary obsessions. But blood…that’ll be a long-term distraction, up until the day I die. Why? Because you know those sand time clocks (also known as hour glasses)? The … More Wrap it up in Red

Butt No Thang

Question: Could Kim’s butt be a saving grace? There are still so many mixed emotions about this subject, lots of negativity, lots of stereotypes and lots of internet browsing…or can the internet still be browsed if it’s broken? Let me be bare bones here for a post. Literally let me strip down, oil up and show … More Butt No Thang
