Equality?

I read a blurb today in the Washington Business Journal, that Marriott International Inc. is adding lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender-run businesses to its list of suppliers as part of its commitment to do business with diverse suppliers. I alternate between thinking that it is really cool they are being active about equality, and being disappointed in my fellow human beings that we still have so many “under represented” groups in our country. We’ve come a long way, but we have so far to go.

Creativity

I think the gods of creativity are demanding my attention. I keep reading about “being creative” and “daily practice” and seeing other people re-commit to projects that they have let languish. I even had someone tell me directly that I need to practice taking time to do fun things that I enjoy. Yikes! if I have to be TOLD to do that, we have problems.

I hearby commit to writing in my blog every day (even if it’s something dumb) and to taking an hour to do something I enjoy. I don’t have any excuses any more… more on that later.

A Good Cause

My good friend, and former 3-Day Walk partner, Nancy is participating in the March of Dimes walk in October. She’s hoping to raise some $$ for the cause, and I’m helping to put the word out.

Nancy’s fundraiser page is here. Let’s hear it for Nancy!
