Dark Sharp Girls 1: Discreet Malice

Celebrated author, Gillian Flynn, has given me some of the greatest reads and subsequently some of the greatest watches of my life. As an avid reader, that is saying A LOT….. David Fincher said something to the effect of “she’s that 13yo girl watching a movie with a bucket of popcorn. She writes like an audience…

What’s Love Got to Do with It? Part 2

In the first part of series, Love’s role in relationships was discussed. I do believe it’s an integral part but it’s not ALL. In this part I’d like to discuss Love’s role in work. Because believe it or not, it does play a part. Be it positive or negative, our motivation for doing things is…

What’s Love Got to Do With It? Part 1
