Where I Have Been and What I’ve Been Doing
It’s been a while since I have written a blog post. This blog, I think, will become the journal that I so miss, where I used to track my progress at things that mattered to me (goals, wishes, dreams, etc.). It wasn’t about monetization…it wasn’t about SEO…it was just about me and what is going […]
I Have Achalasia and Food Gets Stuck in My Throat
The first time that food got stuck in my throat it was in the middle of the night. But I had no idea that what I was experiencing was a swallowing disorder that I had been suffering with for years–this was simply the first time that the swallowing problem manifested. And it wasn’t even food–it was […]
I’m Going to Flip a Property in 2018!
Several weeks ago I told my husband: “I’m going to flip a property in 2018!” He scoffed at me, as a grouchy husband usually does when a wife proclaims such a lofty statement when a wife has no real estate investing experience (other than the rental property we one which doesn’t really generate any positive […]
I’ve Lost 10 Pounds and Damn I Feel Great!
I was certain Halloween would be my downfall. I’d gain the dreaded 5-10 pounds and I would be like everyone else–resolving to lose it come January 1st. But then it didn’t happen. So when December rolled around and we took a family trip to Costa Rica, followed by Christmas, I thought, “This. This is when […]
When Your Spouse Doesn’t Support Your Success or Career
Sometimes I wonder if it’s possible to be successful in both career and family life. But then I’ll talk to someone who’s leading the example and I know that it can be done. However, it’s never been the case in my household. Last night I mentioned to my husband that I’d definitely like to attend the […]
“Don’t Get Your Priorities Confused” She Said…
How do you respond when your mother, albeit well-meaning, sends you this text because you’ve just gotten back from your third business trip in less than three weeks? “Don’t get your priorities confused…” I had just returned from what had been the most amazing trip to Jacksonville, Florida where I was a power-house on stage […]
What Happens When I Don’t Schedule My Life
Every day it’s clear that I need structure and organization in my life. Since I work from home it’s difficult to keep those lines perfectly drawn. Every time is work time. I get sucked into it. I love what I do! And because I love what I do, I want to work on it all the time. […]
Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
Sometimes it seems like everyone’s got their crap together but you, doesn’t it? That’s how I felt this week when I had the opportunity to attend a conference called the IAB Small Publishers Fly-In conference (if you live in the Washington, DC area–you must go! Google sponsored it and they fed us food and drink well). The […]
When Your Checking Goes Into the Red
Recently while going home from work I stopped by McDonld’s to pick up a small fry and a hot fudge sundae. I know–don’t judge me. Not the healthiest thing to eat. But I wasn’t going to be home for dinner, and dammit, I just wanted some junk food. So I pull out my checking debit card […]
How to Save Money When Shopping for Electronic Devices
I’m not really a cheap person. I mean, I did get rid of cable to save nearly $80 a month…..and I shop a ton of thrift stores in order to decorate my house….but I do invest a lot of money into electronic devices–cell phones, tablets, and my huge 27-inch desktop computer (yes, 27-inch!). I drop […]
