At 36 Years Old, I’ve Discovered Something: I’m a Prude?

Yes, I am loud (sometimes) and abrasive (sometimes) and emotional (sometimes) and quite funny (sometimes). But I have never been called a prude, at least, until recently when a friend dared to go there and call me "prudish". Is she seeing something that I'm not? ...

Got Jealousy? When Envy Rears Its Ugly Head. Is It About Them Or Me?

Being envious or jealous of someone else is not a good look. And even though I know this, I have found myself wrapped up in being envious of someone else and playing the "why not me" card. Here's what I have learned to deal with this awful feeling. The truth hurts, but it also sets you free. ...

Don’t Be Afraid To Say I Don’t Know

We are taught that know-it-all's rule. The more you know (and the less you say you don't know), the further ahead you can get in life. Right? But what if we were all honest with one another when we don't know the answer to a question? ...

Perception is 9/10ths of the rule: How are you perceived?

Team Build a Bear: Building Friendships

TweetAs many of you have seen me tweet, I have been busy at a two day Build A Bear Brand Building Workshop here in St. Louis. It has been a phenomenal event thus far and I feel so blessed to have been chosen for this wonderful opportunity. I blog about work issues, juggling work and social life, being fabulous, and staying true to yourself but first and foremost, I am a mom. Being a part of these types of events makes me realize that being a mother is an experience of a lifetime, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. No matter how much my sixteen year old whines and my six year old cries when she doesn’t get her way. I have learned so much from this experience, and I plan on sharing it all with you once I leave later on this afternoon and compile all of ...

Ladies, Do You Compliment One Another?

TweetI was out and about running errands yesterday and as I waited in line, I noticed the woman in front of me had on some fabulous heels. I ooh’d and ahh’d in my mind before tapping her on the shoulder and relaying to her that I liked her heels. Her reply? An eyeroll and a suck teeth head nod. What’s up with that? Is it now against the law to compliment one another? And what happened to graciousness and saying thank you when given a compliment? I posed this question to Twitter on my personal feed, and I got a plethora of answers from a lot of my followers. Most of us agreed that when you compliment a woman, it gets misconstrued or taken out of context. But my Twitter friend Malenga said it best: “I think gracefully accepting compliments is becoming a lost art. For girls/women, especially. I think ...
