Day 2 – 365 Days of Thanksgiving Challenge

Posted on November 27, 2011 | Leave a comment

It’s the 2nd day of my 365 day Thanksgiving challenge.  It would be too easy to say thanks for the UNLV win over North Carolina in basketball or the USC win over UCLA in football as both schools are my alma mater.  However, that’s not the spirit of this challenge.  I want it to be more than that.

365 Days of Thanksgiving Challenge

Posted on November 26, 2011 | 2 comments

After reading an article on Yahoo! about Demi Moore’s Thanksgiving Tweet, I decided to create a challenge for myself to say thanks every day for 365 days.  (Don’t ask me why I read that article, I’m not one to follow celebrity news.  It was a fluke.)

USC EMBA – Post program reflection

Posted on September 19, 2011 | Leave a comment

It’s been 2 years since I started the USC EMBA program and 4 months since graduation.   I’m beginning to feel a little empty because I’m no longer traveling to Southern California every other weekend to attend class.  I don’t have reading assignments, case studies, and homework to complete.  I don’t have the opportunity to have conversations with my classmates & professors… Continue reading →
