It’s been a rough last six days for me. My mother is ill, and it’s brought home the fact that she’s getting up in years, and may start needing my help more than I had thought. Add to that fact my grandmother living here, and my mother’s been taking care of her, and you can [...]

Almost to the year of the last one, I’ve made another theme change to this blog. This time around, I’ve decided to make it look a bit more like my business website. The reason for the theme change? Well, to tell you the truth, I loved the look of the other one. It was called [...]

As I’m working my way on catching up with things I thought I’d talked about but really haven’t, it occurred to me that over all these years of writing this blog I’ve mentioned my two free newsletters, but never talked about them. It’s obviously not enough that I have that link on the side to [...]

I’ve alluded to the topic of the Laws of Attraction many times over the years, but I’ve never specifically written about it. It’s about time I did, and this is that post. The laws of attraction are based on the concept that says you will bring into your life what you attract. That’s the very [...]

The first was Wednesday night during President Obama’s speech to Congress, where Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina reacted to something the President said by calling him a liar from the balcony. The second was Serena [...]

The time and date of the worst tragedy in American history. This was worse than what happened at Pearl Harbor; this was on our own soil. This was in New York City. These weren’t soldiers. These were men and women going about their business, doing their thing. These were visitors on top of the tower, [...]

In my last post on maintaining one’s dignity, I talked about a guy on LinkedIn who was basically ready to give his services away for the almighty dollar, and how by doing that he was going to hurt everyone else in the industry. The truth of the matter is that we all like getting things [...]

This past week, I saw or participated in two things that made me have to say to someone to maintain their dignity. The first I’m not giving a lot of details on, except to say this. The person I gave my bit of advice to is doing everything she can to make her business succeed. [...]
