It’s 8:30pm on Monday and what a Monday it has been. Here’s a glimpse into Life from The Playground Project Occupation: Personal Shopper & Sous-Chef Client: A female executive who found herself working consecutive late nights leading to non-existent breakfast, lunches on the go, and take-out/order-in dinners.

The Honest System
(SPECIAL NOTE: This reflection aka “free admission exercise” was written yesterday and I had no intention of posting it until I sat down to write this week’s blog post. If this journey has taught me anything, it is this: nothing is more powerful than raw honesty and sheer emotion laid on the line. Some call […]
Mis(s) Communication
A couple of weeks ago, I announced that I would be embarking on a 6 month adventure called The Playground Project (see below for details or please visit https://www.bigpicturefinefocus.com/what.html) and sharing my experiences with all of you in the hopes of raising awareness for the opportunities that exist, the elements that connect us all, and […]
Rule (of) the Playground
Over the past couple of weeks, the notion of giving and receiving has come up several times. Often, good-hearted people get addicted to giving to others but hesitate when it comes to receiving.

Unwrap every obstacle, expose every opportunity.
It’s blooming season. Lots of exciting things are taking place on the Playground of Connoisseurs of Life and many of them stemmed from an obstacle, inconvenience, or something that didn’t go as planned/expected. I encourage all of you to embrace obstacles and inconveniences as they are just opportunities (many times AMAZING opportunities) in disguise. 1. […]
The Blank Canvas Approach
I don’t always understand. I’m not always understood. I am perfectly imperfect. Each day is a blank canvas and wonder and awe are my paint brushes. The finished painting at the end of my day is my experience. I see potential in problems. I see opportunities in obstacles. I see Love and the longing for […]
Monday Mandate: Activate & Release

Because it also happens to be a Monday, I know some of you out there have erased the extraordinary and instead have written horrendous, chaotic, crappy, etc. on it. Ladies & Gents, you are an […]
