When my friend Lisa Robbin Young asked me to be one of her guest bloggers in her 30-day “Be Your Own Guru” series, my first thought was “huh?! Me? A guru?” HA! After I stopped giggling a little bit, I realized that I did have something to share and a message that might be helpful [...]

When I started my fight for freedom, I promised you I’d blog about my journey every day. I was pretty good at keeping that promise for, oh, the first week. Then life stepped in and gave me a nice, swift kick in the ass. Some things transpired personally and professionally that were really tough to [...]

Ever have one of those days when it seems like everything is going wrong? Yeah. Today was one of those days for me. Besides the personal stresses going on in my life right now, I can add technology to the list because today was the day my hard drive decided to take a permanent vacation. [...]

Today was a blur, with back-to-back client calls and project deadlines. I actually had to set alarms on my iPhone to remind me to (1) drink my water, and (2) take bio breaks.

My 14-year-old is planning to publicly declare his love on the school bus today, sappy poem and all. He doesn’t care whether this girl likes him back or not, and for what may be the first time, he’s not concerned what other people say or do after said declaration. Watching him prepare for this event [...]

November 29, 2010

Happy Cyber Monday! I’m pleased to say that I completely avoided all the Black Friday mayhem – mainly because most of my “spare” cash is being reinvested in my business and continuing education. Which is why I’m so excited about the 72-hour business guide book sale that launched this morning! I missed out on last [...]

Wide Awake with Billy Joel & Howard Stern

November 18, 2010

It’s 6:25 on Thursday morning and I’ve been awake for almost 24 hours. Sleep is a challenge for me when I have a lot on my mind – the endless list of things I have to do, the struggles my son is having in school, the pile of laundry and household clutter that’s talking to [...]
