BELIEVE
I do believe in the power of love. If we had more of it in our world it would absolutely be a better place and people would actually be more whole-healed-nicer. We could all use more of it.

Urbane is Certainly not Mundane
Tagged Places:  UrbaneHyatt at Olive 8

Have you ever had a Wagyu steak burger to die for? Ok, maybe it's not "all that" but I was just in there and that premium steak burger was fantastic. They slice all the beef in small flanksteak style and I ate the whole thing with a fork and knife. Urbane is in Olive 8 Hotel (Hyatt) in downtown Seattle and a very swanky type of hotel much like W Hotel. I got a tour of the hotel because I'm shopping for a venue to host some events I may be helping to plan (benefit and/or high school reunion). Anyway, I was really blown away with Olive 8's 5-star amenities including their spacious ballrooms, fitness center, swimming pool, sauna, hot tub, etc. I was in pharmaceuticals sales for a decade and this place certainly qualifies to the standard that industry likes.
