I found it.
What a crazy year 2010 has been so far. So much has happened, so much travel, it’s no wonder I can’t remember my name half of the time when people ask or when I’m signing a check. Handwriting these days..well, that’s another post, another time.
This year I’ve traveled more than I ever have. At one point, I was in three different time zones within one week. Talk about messing with your sleep schedule! On my last travel adventure while I was attending a conference for work, my air conditioner duct in the attic decided it wanted to make things interesting. It broke. Pipes leaked. My kitchen ceiling collapsed. My son (17) had to deal with it all while I was miles away. Talk about an awful experience.
Health, family, home improvements, finance, and as of this month, I am no longer a part of an environment that I’ve spent the past 7 years with. Some would say, “Oh no..”. I say that it’s the best thing that could have ever happen to me. The last several years have demanded a lot from me. More than any person(s) should expect. More than any one person should have to deal with. But, I made it. I survived.. the good and the bad, the thankless and the demanding. More importantly, I found some things that I had lost over all of these years:
-
Family
Love
Life
Laughter
…Me.
It’s been a while
It’s been a little while since I’ve posted anything here. Mainly due to just being busy with work and travel. Because that’s not an issue any longer and you can expect to see updates on a regular basis very soon. Well, that and because I’ve got some exciting things happening that I’m dying to share. [...]
Work, Family, and a Balance
Where is it? After many years of being a single parent, now not only a Mother but a Grandmother I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve never been able to find this balance. Single parents spend their lives working to make ends meet and somewhere along the way, we forget that while we’re working so hard [...]
Got Carrots? Showing Your Employees They Matter
Recently I’ve been working with a fabulous warrior woman, Xena Jenn Forgie from Image Group Inc. on company related items. I’ve only just recently had the opportunity to work with her but man..not only does she wear me out, she keeps ME motivated. When I say, ‘wear me out’ .. it’s not a bad thing [...]
iDrive’s and iPad’s
I’ve read all the hype. I followed the iPad updates, speculations, and discussions pre-release. I was determined that I was NOT going to go out and purchase one. I love my gadgets. I’m a gadget-girl. But I’m not the “latest-and-greatest” type. I’ll research a gadget for 6 months to a year (or longer if needed) [...]
