I gave myself two years to love or leave New York.
It’s three years later and New York finally feels like “home.”

Thank you all for being here with me.

“For 2009, the goal is simple: BRANDIFICATION.”

Each new year, I come up with a single word theme for my resolution. For 2009, it’s about personal BRANDIFICATION – letting my best attributes stand out in every aspect.

I heard a nice revelation from a young person today:

“Every day is a performance.”

This was an intern speaking at a benefits luncheon about their experience starting out in the corporate world. This wasn’t just any intern – it was one of the alumnis from a special development school for poor, underprivileged youths.

I’m so inspired by this program and have been looking into becoming a volunteer associate. I wish we had opportunities and training like this when I was growing up!
