Jetset worthy jeunesse at Harney & Sons Soho, NYC
Where are you headed? That seems to be the million dollar question of the moment. Professionally, 'success' has evolved, becoming industry and function agnostic. Conceptual innovators shrewdly balance the "who" and "what," molding them into the perfect combination of career achievement. Cleaning toilets isn't terrible, when it's at the Queen's Palace. Even for market pay, access to daily conversations with the longest leading woman Monarch is worth the menial labor. For me, the "who" = working for someone who is morally astute, is respectable, commands a level of intellect, gives a d@mn about his/her day job and staff, and can LEAD. The "what" = empowerment to think, ability to impact and leeway for creativity. The tradeoff is opportunity and payoff is impact. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be picky about your paycheck; sometimes you take the reigns and make 'it' what you want 'it' to be. Keep reading to see some colorful flips from the past week...
Kate Spade Soho, NYC
The colorful travel-themed windows, ad hoc career conversations and the festival of holi prompt a look back at the path half traveled. Life is a destination of endless decisions and dire disappointments. Lessons learned? Make the best of everything and always ask yourself--"what's the worst that could happen?"--before you act. Case in point, I tried the "unicorn latte" at The End Brooklyn this weekend (I ventured into Brooklyn!?)-- definitely defied expectations. Good for them for creating an aesthetically appealing (non-alcoholic, de-caffeinated) health cocktail and good for me, for trying it at least once...
Rainbow Latte from Brooklyn's The End Cafe--it doesn't have any coffee!
