Hard to believe that hours ago I was in New Jersey and yesterday was my first day on the job. I was greeted in the reception area with a warm welcome sign and then the day sped by meeting people, acquainting myself with the office and reviewing the employee handbook. This is the last time …

Leaving one home for another
Yesterday was my last day of work at the non-profit I have worked with for the past 2 years living in San Francisco. My coworkers gave me a very nice send-off lunch, full of fresh food, good laughs and fond memories. It was weird to clean up my desk and pack up my things with …
Standing Room Only
Have you heard of this new fad of standing desks? Well, I do not have one of these new fangled contraptions that allows you to comfortably view your computer screen and type while in a standing position, but that did not stop me from creating my own version. My colitis has been acting up lately …
Healthy living on the job
I spend my days working in an office in downtown San Francisco, sitting 8 hours a day in front of a computer screen and on the phone. While I enjoy my job and the people I am serving in the community, I do not enjoy the minimal movement and the many food temptations. Everyday I …

Friday was a full day of travel and I mean full. 8:30 am I was picked up from my apartment in San Francisco to go to the airport and then landed at 7:00 pm in Charlotte, NC. My flight was actually enjoyable. I read, did crosswords, listened to music, talked with my neighbor, and even …
M-O-N-D-A-Y
L-O-N-G Those are the letters that spell out the word that you just read, LONG. That is how I would describe yesterday. I got up nice and early to get in a 4 mile run before making it to work at 8 am. I prefer running outside over the treadmill, but sometimes it's nice to …
The SF Mirrors Project
It was one of those days where I just had to leave the office to grab some air and take a break from emails and the phone. While strolling the streets of Union Square in downtown SF I came across this mirror stuck on the side of a building: It was so nice to see …
Rainy Commute
This was my view on my bus ride commute yesterday morning. This was the first rainy day that I can remember in months and I completely forgot how tedious it is to travel in poor weather. Carrying an umbrella on the bus poses many troubles: How close to the bus can you get before you …
