  • When professional and personal worlds collide

    After a busy few weeks, I finally am able to catch up on reading my feeds. One post stuck close to home, Web Working Your Way Through a Personal Crisis. I have written about my crisis before, and how I dealt with it. After I while, I realize that I can’t hide behind my problems.  Instead,…

  • Ever felt like if you’re missing out on something?

    It never fails, just when you think that you have it figured out for the moment, the game changes. Gram and I were talking about how my mother felt cheated. After she graduated from high school, girls were finally allowed to wear pants to school. I felt cheated after I graduated from college. The college…

  • Women’s History Month Referral & Thank You Wrap Up

    Even though March has been an incredibly manic month,  I am finally finding the time to breath and reflect on now only the women who are primarily responsible  for getting me to this point (Great-Grandma, Grandma and Ma), but also the professional women who have taken the time to help me.

  • Don’t lose your business when you lose your voice

    OK, I realized only today (I know, I know) that I took, as my Mom would say “the slow boat to China” on this one.

  • One more day…

    As we know, Leap Year only occurs once every 4 years. This leaves us with an extra day. I remembered how the TV Movie based on the book For One More Day was on several months ago. I however, am beginning this extra day with what I would do if I really had an extra…

  • Teddy Bears at work?

    I finally get around to picking up a e-card from Blue Mountain and I noticed that yesterday was ‘Bring your Teddy Bear to Work day.’ It would of helped to know that before I went to work yesterday. That’s what my Mom used to do. She didn’t bring a teddy bear per se, but she…

  • Take Your Kids to Work Day is Tomorrow

    Take your Daugther or Son to Work Day is tomorrow, 4/26. I haven’t taken anyone to work in a couple of years when I took my teenage cousin, and in 2000 when I took my Mom. I guess I could always borrow a niece or nephew.

  • Why I freelance?

    I can answer that question with one word. Grandma. My mother has passed. Mom didn’t have any siblings and neither do I so Grandma is all I have left of my maternal roots. It is my duty and obligation to look after my grandmother. Grandma took care of everyone, my great-grandmother, Mom, me, as well…
