The Avenue of Aging
1. July 2009
admin
Yes, it is a less than sexy topic, but here’s the deal: if we’re all lucky enough, we’ll get to grow old.
The baby boomers will be hitting this crest of retirement and old-er age-ness soon. So, how do we manage all these people getting older, who maybe can’t manage themselves?
Enter Carlotta Katra, owner of agingavenues.com. She owns a business around managing later-in-life stages in the Indy area. We are lucky to have her.
So if you, like me, are starting to think about not only how to manage our parents, but ourselves down the road, check out her site. It is for all of us who will forever remain…young at heart!

My Very Own Inspirational Place
24. June 2009
admin
One of my very favorite unique things about Indianapolis is its annual Spirit & Place Festival. I don’t know of any other city in the entire country (or for that matter world) that holds this type of annual event. This year, the theme is about “Inspiring Places”, which I’m looking forward to…and which has also got me thinking about my very own inspiring places.
This summer, I have been “without office” at work. This was by both chance and choice. Actually, it was one of the best decisions and greatest opportunities I could have made, because not only does it force me to be productive wherever I go, but it also provides me the wonderful opportunity to have any window I want to my office. My “office” goes wherever I go. In the past few weeks, my office window has included a spectacular view of the state capital building, the 18th floor of the Bank one tower overlooking monument circle, a row of perfectly fanned leaves in a straight line of ginko trees, my weedy lawn, the new airport, the fantastic front stained glass window of the Columbia Club, and various coffee and lunch spots in and around Indianapolis and other parts. The views? Usually pretty great. But the real inspiration comes from the people I meet at these places and the conversations I have with each person along the way.
Maybe you should consider having your office with you wherever you go. Not necessarily so much to drag more work along with you, but to instead be inspired by your surroundings, which in turn can bring to you some wonderful muses.
Oh, and go to the festival this year. You can thank me later.
