These blog conversations will likely lead in many directions. The flow of thoughts and ideas is what this is all about. In fact, it's the whole point. Still, this blog focuses on exploring the issues and simple happenings women and men face in pursuit of vibrant careers while fitting work into life and life into work. So, if you want to share yoga tips, do's and don'ts for playing mahjong or cheesecake recipes, this is probably not the right place for you.

Honesty, decency and mutual respect should be par for the course. And while we're on the topic, leave the fangs at home. This isn't to stifle the conversation, but to ensure that we can continue to have it for a long time to come. Remember, this is not a personal site so comments will be reviewed and posted with first names and locations only.

And, of course, if you have burning (even just smoldering) ideas for topics, responses to postings, or anything else you’d like to throw out there, just send them along.
