Just Love
I’ve put so many restrictions on love: how and why I should love, how and why I should BE loved. Whatever happened to just loving for the sake of it? Nothing in return, just giving love to others despite what my past notions may have been on giving and receiving love. Until I free myself...
BHDSeries: Sardegna, Italy
Although this space is normally reserved for new experiences, I thought I’d take a brief moment to talk about just the opposite. Coming from what I like to call a neo-traditional Mediterranean family, rituals and time spent together are of the utmost importance. For a late teen, twenty-something guy, I could not do enough to...
How-to Have It All as Women
I think it is fair to say that most of us want to believe that we can have it all. While definitions may vary, the desire to balance work, life and all the in-between is a constant objective. As I said in an earlier article, I want to have everything even if it’s in small...
Photo Diary: Barcelona & the Catalunya Grand Prix
I’ve traveled to many places and met different cultures of people from far and wide. I can say without second guessing that Spanish people have to be among the most friendly and helpful there is. Not only is their city of Barcelona beautiful, filled with history and an amazing variety of Gaudi architecture, but they...
An ‘A-HA!’ Moment At Work
We’ve all been there: under pressure, uncomfortably seated and with unbearably sweaty hands -the dreaded job interview. Whether it’s your first, second or final round, those 60 minutes – that can define your future – are effortlessly nerve racking. During an interview, we’re almost always asked, “do you work better as an individual or in...
Jennifer Lopez- The Second Coming
Jennifer Lopez sits cheerfully in the chair of New York’s most controversial radio station. Are you Charlamagne tha God? She asks the co-host, better known for ripping the show’s guests apart (just ask Cassie – Diddy’s ‘new’ girl). Maybe it’s Lopez’s bubbly disposition and/or flawless beauty but on this particular morning, Charlamagne praises her as...

Love From Colombia
My family lives in Colombia & I live in Toronto. I love T.O, but it gets tough because I miss my family all day every day. But the toughest to swallow are the looks and comments I receive from those who have no clue about Colombia. A much needed vacation brought me to my family,...
4 Steps to Set Boundaries
“I can’t believe she said that”, Marsha says as cackles and laughs come through my phone. “How rude, what did you say next?” she inquired. “Nothing”, I said, biting my lip. * Silence * “Nothing?” she shrieked. “Girl, you’re way too nice – you need to put her in her place!” The conversation we were...
BHD Talks Art-Tiffany Love
I’ve always been immersed in art. Coming from an artist-filled family, my first ‘real’ introduction was at the age of 9, when my uncle- a Visual Artist- gave me a Paul Gauguin book for my birthday.
Merci beaucoup !
Today is Thanksgiving for us in Canada ! I am a strong believer that we must always remember to be grateful, if not those same blessings we ignore will soon be the ones we long for. Today I want to reflect for a longer period of time on all the things I am grateful for....
