Let Go!

On November 3, 2014

I almost said “Let it Go,” but I thought that would drive parents crazy who have had to sing the theme song from the movie, Frozen, a million times with their kids. But there is something so grown up in the words of the song, because there comes a time when everyone has to let […]

Bonjour! As far back as I can remember, I have been passionate about travel and musical theater. After I retired from Starbucks, I decided to personally continue my term on The 5th Avenue Theatre Board (5th Avenue) in Seattle, WA where I had represented the company. The following series of events resulted in a few […]

I couldn’t see over the top of anyone’s head as I moved through the crowd of 2,000 Starbucks district managers and other executives, who packed the halls of the Washington State Convention Center where the recent Starbucks Leadership Experience 2014 convened in Seattle. We were a polite bunch, as is the Starbucks way, so […]

A shrill “cock-a-doodle-do” shocked me out of my sleep at dawn. Blurry eyed and disoriented, I thought I was dreaming and couldn’t recall where I had “laid me down to sleep.” And then, I wondered if someone had played a cruel, inhumane trick on me and changed my IPhone ringtone to a rooster crowing instead […]

Move! It seems like I’m always on the move, and I just can’t stop myself! On Sunday, September 28, I drove from East Lansing, MI to the Detroit Metropolitan Airport where I caught a flight to Seattle, WA; On Monday, September 29, I rolled my luggage that I had packed prior to traveling to East […]

Homecoming weekend at my alma mater, Michigan State University (MSU), is always a good time. It’s non-stop, nostalgic, exhilarating and exhausting…all at the same time! I navigated campus with my sorority sisters (sorors) Debbie, who I hadn’t seen since our vacation two years ago, and Bessie, who I hadn’t seen since her wedding in 2008. […]

This past weekend was very special, because I had the opportunity to spend time with former Starbucks senior executives, who happen to be exceptionally talented women! At work, we were often too busy to chat, because we were always running around like our hair was on fire. And it probably was, but we didn’t have time to notice! That’s […]

When the alarm buzzed at 6 a.m. last Wednesday, I had second thoughts about meeting our ladies walking group at 7:00 a.m. But I forced myself to get up, because Seattle’s new police chief and first woman to hold the position was joining us that morning. I knew that this would be a great opportunity […]

Yesterday, I spent almost two hours writing a tribute to a former Starbucks executive. I wanted to make sure that my entry captured our relationship, as well as his accomplishments in 200 words or less. After receiving the copy, his wife said it was “really beautiful.” And I was so happy that I had taken […]

Just the other day, I woke up at 5:15 a.m. so I could be on time for my 6:00 a.m. spin class in the Starbucks Java Gym. Knowing me, I probably slept in my workout top and bike shorts so I wouldn’t be late for this precious hour that preceded my very unpredictable day as […]
