Is FOMO stealing your life?

November 14, 2012

As many as 70% of adults experience FOMO, according to marketing communications firm JWT. It’s a driving factor in purchases made, places visited, movies seen, and activities scheduled.

I move the book to the back of my desk. No room on the shelf. I flip through the stack of papers on the left side of my desk…find the receipt I need…relocate it to the right side of my desk (with the other finance-related docs). I reach for the book again. The stack of…

A Word About Luck

December 18, 2011

I don’t do luck. I don’t do karma. I don’t avoid black cats. I don’t believe that bad things come in threes. I don’t need a wooden surface to knock on when having a conversation.
