Sara Demizio, pleasure to meet you. Assistant Manager at lululemon athletica.
I love big cities, bold goals, and sweat dates - usually, the combination of all three.
This week is a double-header! Vacation last week took me out of my routine and I have to admit I was too busy wakeboarding, tanning, working, and crafting bracelets to stay on track with 52 in 52 last week. All it means is that this week is a double dose of inspiration!
This article has been referred to me by almost ten people in the past two weeks, and when I finally took a moment from my oh-so-extremely-busy-and-fast-paced-life for five minutes to read it, I understood why.
Conversations.
We have them every day, obviously (or hopefully); most are mundane, routine, the usual.
On the other hand, we all know that feeling in the pit of your stomach when you know the inevitable is coming - there is an imminent conversation that you must have with someone important in your life. Ick.
I have a short story I’d like to share with you this week.
This week, we’re learning about the cold, hard truth: it’s all about the money.
This week, I watched the important and groundbreaking documentary by Jennifer Siebel Newson called Miss Representation. I heard a lot of buzz last year when this film came out, but had forgotten about it until I was searching for a doc to watch this week on iTunes.
au·dac·i·ty [aw-das-i-tee] noun 1. boldness or daring, especially with confident or arrogant disregard for personal safety, conventional thought, or other restrictions. 2. effrontery or insolence; shameless boldness: His questioner’s audacity shocked the lecturer.
I had heard a ton of buzz about this book before finally getting my hands on a copy, and after reading I have to say that the messages in this book were well worth the wait. As you may have noticed from the past 12 weeks of 52 in 52, I mostly lean towards business books or straightforward self-development how-to books, and I’m not one to generally pick up a fable.
Someone recently asked me, “Where do you find inspiration?”. This caught me totally off guard, which not only surprised me, but also got me thinking: where does my inspiration come from?
This week, I had the opportunity to write a short post for Notable, a nationwide community of young professionals. Check it out for my top three picks to kickstart your career!
We’re getting deep this week. Past the surface, beyond your ego, your spirit is in the spotlight.
I didn’t write about this book at first because I figured that everyone I know had already read it (yes, it is that awesome); however, I went home for a visit last week and saw that my Mom had borrowed it from the library. So, in the spirit of Mother’s Day yesterday, the fact that people are still visiting libraries regularly, and this amazing book, this week is dedicated to The Book of Awesome.
“Imagine waking up tomorrow and discovering that all the world’s ink had become invisible and all our bytes had disappeared. Our world would immediately crumble. Literature, music, law, politics, science, math: Our culture is an edifice built of externalized memories.”
