There is no one quite like you in the entire world. No one, and in that: you are stunning. You are beautiful. Believe in your particular combination of variables. Believe that you are destined for a greatness proportionate to the sum of your ambition, passion, and hard work. Believe that you are…

People say that you should do something that scares you everyday and I can safely say that I’m terrified.
And, maybe it’s just me, perhaps in my struggles I need a little more reassurances but I’ve caught myself refusing to admit that I’m living with a healthy (usually) amount of fear, concerning career choices and pursuing my passions. Fact is, I’m scared that I...

Why We Gloat
parislemon:
5 years ago, I made a bet. Two bets, actually.
The first was with myself. I bet myself that if I devoted serious time to it, I could become a great technology blogger. It wasn’t an easy bet to make. I knew it would require upending my life at the time. And it did.

Hey Zuckerberg, Take Facebook Down for a Day →
So now we know how Mark Zuckerberg feels about SOPA. The Facebook founder made his opposition to the “poorly thought out law” clear — a little belatedly, perhaps, but plainly — in a post on the social network Wednesday. The post is blowing up: it has 250,000 Likes at time of writing, and 10…
Even After All This Time -- A poem by a friend
My friends are brillant.
A four year old poem written by an amazing friend of me.
——————————————-
If I could find a spot where truth echoes
I’d stand there and whisper
All of the dreams about I’ve ever had
All of the memories we shared
Or that I wanted us to share
All the things we said and didn’t say
That...

Another great blog from @DKNY
dknyprgirl:
The @NYTimes published an article this week entitled,
Redefining Public Relations in the Age of Social Media
What a good idea. I love a good definition as much as the next girl. Apparently there are lots of very smart, PR professionals from The Public Relations Society of America meeting…
