Wall Street Warrior
Today is my birthday! In recognition of this annual occasion my husband gave me the best gift EVER! I am officially a shareholder of Facebook stock! He said I spend so much time on Facebook that I might as well be an owner. Let me say upfront that we own stock in many companies but ...
I just wasn’t that into you!
Dear Blog. It wasn’t you. It was me. I got distracted with other things, (like speaking) which is how I actually make my money. I neglected you and for that, I’m sorry. But the truth is I was getting bored with you. Our relationship had gotten stale and I admit, I wasn’t caring enough about ...
World Peace, Tiaras, and the Life of a Pageant Judge
Next Saturday I am going to be a pageant judge for the Frederick County Distinguished Young Woman Program. I am really excited about this opportunity for several reasons. First, because I have never done anything even remotely like this before unless you count the time I served as a judge for a youth public speaking ...
Put a Pin on it!
It started off innocently enough. My niece, Andrea, and I were doing the dishes on Christmas evening when she happened to mention seeing something on Pinterest. “Are you on it?” she asked. I had heard the word mentioned before but was unfamiliar with the latest craze in online addiction and doubly unaware of how quickly ...
Grammy-mania
Tonight is Grammy night and I’m feeling like quite the D-lister. Apparently child sensations Sophia Grace & Rosie received my invitation, but I guess the fact that they are frequent guests on the Ellen show secured their celebrity status. So, once again, I will watch the Grammys ala Gaver-style. It’s actually a pretty good deal. ...
January I hardly knew ya!
Far be it for me to complain about it EVER being too warm but what’s the big deal about January????? This weekend’s flirtation with the 60′s makes me realize that my whining about hating winter must have worked. Somebody heard me and decided to show mercy. But here’s the deal. I miss it. It’s like ...
Touchdown girl
My high school didn’t have a football program until my senior year. In spite of the fact that I was raised on soccer, I became an instant fan of the sport because I was dating the new quarterback at the time. The boyfriend situation ended about the same time football season was over so my ...
“Till January do us part.”
According to eDivorcePapers.com, statistics show that January ranks No. 1 as the month with the highest divorce filings. I guess people take the “out with the old, in with the new” adage just a little too seriously. As someone who has been married for 32 years, I guess I can understand why the month of ...
Oh Christmas tree
During a recent women’s holiday stress management workshop, I shared with the group the progress I have made in reducing the amount of “stuff” I do to get ready for Christmas. In previous years, I decorated three trees, each sporting a different “theme” that matched the decor in the room it adorned. Under the tree ...
Party of One!
I just made a post on my Facebook page that obviously hit a nerve with many of my FB friends. Let me explain…. I am a solopreneur. I work alone. My office is in my home. I like it that way. I get plenty of social time when I’m out speaking and training with audiences ...
