Outrage!

On June 20, 2018

Since I posted my last blog, I have been busy with consulting commitments, travel and community service projects. These activities distracted me from focusing on the sorry state of our country and have given me a sense of fulfillment and joy. However, my outrage has been building as our country veers more toward crazy. I […]

Sadly, school shootings continue to occur no matter how often citizens call for sensible gun laws. And our government leaders led by the most incompetent person in the history of the U.S. presidency, is an “enabler of what’s wrong instead of what’s right”, which allows men of color wearing hoodies, and/or “armed” with cell phones […]

Honor (part 2)!

On May 6, 2018

Due to operator error, I can’t figure out how to change the date on this post from May 6 to May 8. Oh well! I actually returned to Seattle on Monday, May 7, after celebrating one of the most incredible experiences of my life with family and friends. I will always cherish it. As many […]

Honor!

On April 30, 2018

It’s hard to believe that I haven’t posted since April 17 when I shared my opinion about the Starbucks Philadelphia incident in “Trying”. To date, this post has received the most comments of any that I have written. Thanks for reading, for commenting and for giving Starbucks the opportunity to fix the issue. During my […]

Over the years, many people have asked me about my experience at Starbucks, and I always say it’s the best company I have ever worked for. I take great pride in my connection to Starbucks, which is a caring and humane company that puts positive social change ahead of profit. I stand by these statements […]

Joy!

On April 7, 2018

Since returning to Seattle on Easter Sunday, I have tried to sit down and finish writing my weekly blog. I actually wrote the bulk of it while I waited for my flight in New Orleans, LA (NOLA), but I decided to rest a bit. I had good intentions to complete it on Monday, April 2 […]

Cruise!

On March 25, 2018

“During days like these it’s always good and necessary to take time out to rejuvenate your mind and soul,” said Dr. Avon Lorraine Burns, my childhood friend, before we boarded the NCL Pearl at the Port of New Orleans. There’s no better way to do that than spending time with great friends on a Caribbean […]

Shade!

On March 18, 2018

I missed posting last week’s blog, because I was on daughter duty in Flint, MI, in order to be with my 90-year-old Dad as he underwent a series of medical tests. I am happy to report that his results were good and he is doing just fine now that he isn’t worried about his health. […]

Loss!

On March 4, 2018

The world lost a great human being when Orin C. Smith, former president and CEO of Starbucks Coffee Company, passed on March 1, 2018. Orin was my boss and mentor during my tenure at Starbucks. He was my friend. His loss is devastating for me and everyone who knew him. Orin dedicated his life to […]

Mirror!

On February 25, 2018

I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge Black History Month, a time when we highlight the innumerable contributions of African-Americans to the USA over many centuries. I am proud of the African-American influence on our country, and I have done what I could to make my community a better place. But this February, I feel […]
