Fun Sign Friday
When I’m in a bad mood, bored, trying to procrastinate, or a victim of shiny ball syndrome I head for a place like some e cards to read stupid, yet hilarious, things people have made up and put out there. It never fails to cheer me up and I sometimes cringe at how many I can identify with. Happy... Read the Rest »

What’s the next step?
Last week I wrote about all the juggling I’ve been doing, trying to figure out how to manage all the things I am supposed to do, and then finally realizing I needed to take a step back to take a step forward. Meaning I needed to re-evaluate what I was doing, the bigger picture of what I... Read the Rest »

Ground Zero
Earlier this week I wrote about taking a step back and looking at all I’ve been doing (or rather not doing) and trying to determine what it is I want to focus on. What I realized yesterday is I need to take more than just a step back. I need to start over. From a... Read the Rest »

Multiple Personalities
Yesterday I wrote about my identity crisis and in the “me” time I said I was going to take I tried to start at the beginning by looking at my different business verticals, my “personalities” if you will. I thought if I went back to basics and looked at everything with a fresh perspective it... Read the Rest »

Identity Crisis
Long gone are the days of graduating from college (or not) and working 30 years until it’s time to retire. Getting the gold watch and living your life out on a good pension traveling in your Winnebago. Our society has changed in many ways where staying with a company until you retire isn’t guaranteed on the employer... Read the Rest »

What’s Coming in 2013
Here are the works and/or ideas in progress for 2013. While I am aggressive by nature, and am motivated by goals, at times it gets me in trouble because I can’t always meet my own deadlines. We all know the saying, ‘better to under promise and over deliver’ than…well…the opposite. And under deliver IS what I have done this... Read the Rest »

This blog
Someone asked me yesterday why I seemed to be writing about feelings lately rather than book related stuff. It was a valid question. I am an author and so one would easily surmise that blogging about writing would be the focus on my content. However, it’s not that cut and dried. I have struggled for the last... Read the Rest »

Choosing your emotion
Happiness is work. I don’t think that comment is surprising to anyone who may read this post. Some days being happy is much harder than others and a conversation today with someone made me decide to write this post. My life is not at all where I thought it would be at this stage of...

To rewrite…or not?
I am proud, very proud, of my first published book Stilettos & Scoundrels. However, with that said it is also not my best work. Why? I think that’s fairly obvious (at least to me) it was my first and like with anything else we get better the more we do something. While I understand, and am at peace,... Read the Rest »
