My three and a half year old son, Alejandro, and I pass by a construction site every morning on our way to his school. A large area of land is being cleared to put up a shopping center. Alejandro loves construction trucks and always looks for them, especially if they are actually moving around working. This morning, he exclaimed, "Momma, oh my goodness! Look! The trees are sad!" "What do you mean, honey?" I asked. "The trees are sad because they have been broken," he said. The entire area had been cleared of all the trees. They lay uprooted and... Continue reading

Over the last two weeks, I have spent three days snowed in at my house and four days snowed in with my ex-husband and cranky toddler in a very small room. All the while waiting on my flight to Louisiana to be rescheduled for the umpteenth time. My week long trip to see family ended up being only three days.

I've got to get back into marketing and public relations. I attended a presentation by Peter Shankman on Social Media this week. Carol Arnott's group, Wine4Women, put this event on up in Wilmington. Talk about a hyper guy who talks ninety miles a minute! And has tons of really good stuff to say about being online, being offline, being where your customers are, etc. The excitement I felt with all the ideas running through my head just confirmed, I've got to get back. I've got to get back to marketing and PR, my passion. Everytime I speak with someone, even... Continue reading

I had dinner with a friend who is going through some issues right now. And aren't we all in some way or another? I told her I waded through my own issues by finding the courage to look at myself and be honest with myself. And then had the balls to show that to someone else. However, this morning as I was looking at myself, I broke my mirror! So, where does that leave me? :-) Continue reading
