Our hearts are with the millions affected by the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. Tonight Rachel Maddow reported that this is the “single largest effort to restore electric power in all of U.S. history.” We are especially thinking of our friends and family who call these areas home.
As the world continues to warm slowly, and we see an increase in flooding, storms, hurricanes and devastation on shorelines, I feel sentimental. My mind goes to some of the amazing times I've had and places I’ve been lucky enough visit including St. Maarten, St. Thomas, the Florida Keys, the U.S. Virgin and British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and many other Florida cities.
If you’re feeling emotions as well, sentimental or otherwise, or simply wondering how to help, there are several options.
Last week as I walked into a client meeting with a co-worker, we were greeted with a, “Hi girls.”
Inwardly, I cringed. I’m well over the age of 12 (I point that out because many people consider either 12 or 18 the oldest age of a girl).
Not everyone seems to know (or care) that it’s not ok to use the word “girl” to describe an adult in a professional setting.
It’s not news that there’s an awareness problem surrounding this subject and it applies to people of different generations, backgrounds and genders. People have been talking about this for years, and not just Mayim Bialik, but she’s talking about it too.
Living a long, healthy life is a goal for many of us. So it should come as no surprise that people have studied the pockets around the world where the most centenarians live.
In case you are wondering, a centenarian is a person who lives to be 100 years old or older. #Lifegoals, people.

That's why we're big fans of documentaries, which can be entertaining vehicles for important information that can and have inspired major change.
See an example of what happened to Seaworld after Blackfish was released.
