Check out my holiday blab with Business Marketing Architect, Lisa Manyon on setting intentions instead of resolutions, the importance of shift, change and grow, and how to create awe and happiness in business [...]
Check out my first #blab with Business Marketing Architect, Lisa Manyon (@WriteOnCreative) on what's lighting us on fire and how we're helping people make a difference in the world.
Well, it’s that time again; Visa time. When, once again, we must prove that it’s in Hungary’s best interests to allow us Americans to live in their country. (I can think of hundreds of reasons!) I mean, using Bailey and Brodee’s cute factor should be reason enough, right? But something tells me immigration requires more [...]
Where the heck have I been? Good question (actually, I’d like some answers). The only explanation I can come up with is best summed up in the opening narration to a popular 1950’s TV show: There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space [...]
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. ~ Albert Einstein We’re nine days into the New Year. How are your resolutions coming along? Okay, let’s be honest. Some possible answers to this question are: 1) “What resolutions?”, 2) “Are you kidding me? I've already gained two [...]
The Great Market Hall: Thanksgiving shopping in Budapest It’s here – the most wonderful time of the year. The holiday season has begun. Did I hear a sigh? I know the holidays can be a mixed bag of emotions. They’re supposed to be full of holly and jolly, but high expectations come with opportunity for [...]
I found myself getting a little annoyed. Okay, more than a little. I could blame it on my lack of coffee, or my lack of enlightenment, but aren't we all entitled to get frustrated every now and then? The flight attendants serving the complimentary beverages on Flight 2051 from Zurich to Budapest were not moving [...]
To say I’m exhausted is an understatement. Our friends from Atlanta headed to the airport at 4:30 am today; two ladies I was schooled by (so they have a couple of years on me) who out-walked, out-shopped, and out-drank me their entire visit in Hungary. There are two reasons for this: one, I’m out of [...]
Sai, a member of our PitchRate community, recently sent me this story his grandfather told him about Saint Narada and Lord Vishnu, the God of creation in Hinduism: Saint Narada prided himself on being Lord Vishnu’s most devoted follower. One day, Narada found the Lord praising a farmer for his own devotion. Outraged, Narada asked [...]
Here I am, living in a rural Serbian village, which is not the easiest thing I've ever done. Budapest was somewhat of an adjustment from U.S. living, but this is a whole other level. Things I took for granted in Budapest have become glaringly absent, like not having a Starbucks around the block when I [...]
Am I crazy? I ask myself this question a lot and I keep getting the same answer… but I’ll let you decide. Here I am, sitting in a youth hostel in the middle of Serbia. What exactly is a youth hostel doing in a small Serbian farming village, you might ask? Fazekas Róbert, the town’s [...]
You know that old expression, “waking up on the wrong side of the bed”? Well, the other day I woke up instantly upset. I contemplated not even getting out of bed. And, truthfully, I didn't need to. Since I’m working from Europe, no one in the U.S. would have been up for hours. So if [...]
