What feeds your soul?

By
What feeds your soul? This is a very large question filled with incredible, easy to discover answers but sometimes the hardest to put into practice. As a new mom (daughter, 14 months) I have had a hard time feeding my soul without feeling guilty. Every time I do something for myself that feeds my soul (reading, writing, watching my favorite TV show or movie) I feel guilty that I am not spending that time with my daughter. Even if my daughter is asleep or playing by herself which my wife and I want her to be able to do I still feel guilty that I am taking the time for myself instead of her.  The joys of motherhood! dTaking a step back for a moment, what does feeding your soul mean? In the simplest sense it means doing something that you love and/or are passionate about. No one can find out what you love other than you but some things could include reading, meditating, yoga, soaking in the bath, writing, anything. The choice is up to you. But the thing you have to learn is feed...

The Real Wall Street

By
**Spoiler Alert** Erin Duffy is a former wall street player, procuring a job in finance right out of college working her way up to analyst.  In her novel Bond Girl, Duffy takes us on a fictional tale (some say not so fictional) of a recent college graduate's first job out of college - Wall Street.  Alex Garrett has dreamed of a job on Wall Street - money, fame, expensive dinners, parties every night, everything a person can dream of working in the financial world.  That is if you are a man. Alex believes her career in the financial world will give her the money and freedom to do whatever she wants, go wherever she wants and be whoever she wants. What she doesn’t realize is the true nature of the boys club that is the financial world.   The minute she sets foot in the pit of Cromwell Pierce she is bombarded with male testosterone beyond anything she has ever known.  Every stereotype of the male species is glorified in the first few chapters - secrets f...

Discovery of Witches: Season 1

By
A Discovery of Witches, one of my favorite books of all time recently was turned into a series by Sky One, a Canadian and UK based production company. It was released in the US via Sundance Now and Shudder (streaming services) on January 17th. Naturally I watched all 8 episodes of season 1 in 3 days.  And then it took me 2 days to process how I felt about it. Conclusion, still not sure. I read Discovery of Witches back in 2013 and again at the end of 2018.  I loved it then and love it now. Deborah Harkness creates a fantastic world of witches, vampires, demons, and humans it is hard not to get sucked in.  The love between Matthew and Diana on paper is incredibly powerful, tugging at your heart in ways you never thought possible.  I hoped that whenever this story was sent to the big or little screen the love would resonate on screen just as much if not more than on the pages of the book. Unfortunately what I have come to realize is that the book is much better th...
