Yesterday, I felt it all coming to a head as I actually zoned out and cried. I didn't cry because I was sad or because I live a non-wonderful life. I cried because I needed to release and hadn't done so in quite some time. ...

When I walk into a room, my head is usually held high. I usually am strong with my eye contact and handshakes. I am not a wallflower---people perceive this to be a brash, no nonsense woman, but I am far from that. ...

The dictionary defines the term ah-ha moment as, "an instant at which the solution to a problem becomes clear". It's as if something clicks within your mind and suddenly things are more in focus than they ever were before. ...
Read More →TweetYesterday was a hard day for me. Not only was I swamped with work and deadlines, I had a few blows dealt to me in a personal relationship with a family member. Being the strong woman that I am and not wanting to show emotion, I often let things roll off of my back. I try not to give my attention to negative energy or negative people. But I was feeling abused—attacked—personally affronted for no reason. If I didn’t say anything about it, then it would continue. So I spoke my peace. And all hell hit the fan. And that was that. I am lighter. I unloaded the baggage. And now I feel I am a better person for it. I am not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. But I will tell you this—when I am in your life, I give 110%. I will go to bat for ...

The kids both have to be at different places at the same time, and you have have a few personal projects that you have been putting off because you never have time to finish them. What’s worse is the last two times you’ve had a “vacation”, you ended up spending most of the time working on your laptop and staying connected to the office with your Blackberry. When was the last time that you just let it all go? Last year, I found myself at a crossroads. I was stressed out, worn out, burnt out, and then some. I had lost my passion for my craft and for my job and I didn’t know how to get it back. I did everything for everyone but failed to take care of myself. I had to make a decision about my future. If I was ...

TweetLately, my life has been full of ups and downs. Not having a full-time job is starting to worry me, and I’m finding I’m becoming more and more frustrated at every turn. I haven’t been without a full-time job since I was a stay-at-home mom when my six year old was born. And even then, I was attending college full-time. I’ve been getting discouraged, but I have a wonderful support system in place to help me and cheer me up when I am feeling down. I know everything happens for a reason. I’m just trying to figure all of this out. In the meantime, I’ve been staying busy with the blog, which has grown so much thanks to many of you. With the kids out of school, we’ve been spending a lot of time doing activities like library trips, parks, and other free or low cost options. I’m looking forward ...
