Inside of me is a heart that longs for every ounce of goodness life has to offer, without the confines of a safety net. I want to attain unparalleled success and create groundbreaking moves in the tech/startup industry. I want to fall in love. Not the kind of love that is safe or mediocre. But […]
Compassion is one of the biggest gifts my parents bequeathed me as a child. I can’t ever remember receiving a lecture about the virtues of compassion. Instead, it was displayed through actions. If you google the dictionary for compassion, it almost gives a tone of one having the ability to feel ‘pity’ for another. “Concern […]
Last year, I posted a blog series in preparation for my Mom’s birthday. This year, I’m doing a follow-up. I’m not quite sure where the direction will go, but I have a lot of loose ends to tie together via writing. Let’s go. When I think about our family dynamic, a lot of really ‘large’ […]
Throughout the years, our family has had quite an interesting journey through this thing called “life”. In some cases, there were times where harsh jabs were thrown to each other; dividing and picking each other apart for the purpose of harm. Little more than fear, our insecurities in a large family can often evolve into […]

One of my favorite terms in the world of design is the word ‘restraint’. I first heard the term in 2010 while working with an incredibly talented industrial designer.

I recently read a blog (link) that focused on the topic of entrepreneurship. Knowing the author – and being the subject – the article really resonated with me. The recent pause in writing has been partly due to the fact that I’ve spent much more time observing – and internally processing – than I spend […]
Ironically, these past few months have been the most sparse I’ve been with blog writing. I’m finding that sometimes we go through experiences in life that are best kept under our hats, so we can process them fully. I learned this lesson on Saturday, after watching my beloved iPhone go up in smoke (literally) as […]
They’re a saying “life imitates art” and I have to agree with new depth and appreciation as I’ve gotten older. As with art, you learn to appreciate the value behind a ‘true original’ and discover the joy of the ‘story’ every time you hear a new one. A composer (poorly paraphrased) stated “I’ve spent so […]
This is probably the longest I’ve gone without blogging. Even in the dense forests of Northern Laos, I took time to pen down a few thoughts. The past few weeks/months have been an interesting journey…to say the least. Growing older, I realize the value behind the statement in Alice In Wonderland – “I could tell you of […]
