inYou either love or hate Oprah…there seems to be no middle ground when the topic turns to her empire. Perhaps, it’s just someone having that much power in the media turns people off yet they can embrace her message and pick out what they want to keep from all things that she “knows for sure”.

Lately, it has been the perfume industry, neuroscience and memory or the business of luxury and how it is evolving into something other than what it has been and why the evolution. Travel essays that take me to places I haven’t been are another source of education for me–either I hope to get there or know I might not but have spent some time in a place seeing it through someone else’s eyes.
