Last year’s Jazz Fest was quite the learning experience for me. My dad and I went together as part test dummies, part recon men. We were trying it on for size. See, ever since my grandma passed away in 2008, my family hasn’t had a concrete reason to go down to New Orleans every year [...]
If you’ve been reading this blog for a few months, by now you likely know that I left my job in early December to go find my purpose, as detailed in this post. It wasn’t just a job that I left, it was an entire career. A career in the field I studied, something I [...]
As I wind down here at my current job, it’s been interesting to see people’s reactions when I tell them I’m leaving and why.

In Times Square last weekend. Photographed with my Nikon D60, 18-55mm lens. Planning our wedding has been an interesting ride thus far to say the least. I’ve gone from loving it to hating it to now having a new attitude toward it. An attitude which has yet to be named. An attitude that is neither [...]
Just came across this great diagram on share some candy. Have you seen this yet? This is a fantastic framework for thinking about your career and how to be happy with what you do. When I saw this, it just made sense to me, the idea that the ideal situation is when what you want [...]
