If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll know I tweet. A lot. It’s what I do. I have made a science — at least in my own mind — of keeping my tweets pithy, on point, concise, and informative. All within the 140 characters or less. I want you to not only read the...

Don’t Suffer in Silence…Get Help

Don’t Suffer in Silence…Get Help

I hated the feeling of being caught off guard. Still hate it. Twice when I had heavy bleeding I was at school…high school. You don’t want to stand out in high school…ever! But, there I was…stuck at school and totally caught off guard. I have never felt so helpless. As an adult I can...

Cooking with the Stars

July 23, 2011
By

I’ll say at the outset that a good cook I am not. In fact my children know that I am quite capable of cooking Cajun food and not in a good way. We never need to check the batteries in our smoke detector…let’s leave it at that shall we. Speaking of good cooks… The...

Blank Canvas or Blogpost?

July 22, 2011
By

A blank canvas scares me. Same as a blank space where a blogpost should go on my blog. I sit and stare at my screen waiting for inspiration. I sit and stare. Waiting for something to come. What happens is that I think of my family…my kids…a family vacation…a sweet thing my child said....

Blogging, Campaigns, Conferences, and a Touch of Envy #BlogHer

July 21, 2011
By

I’ll admit it. I can get envious from time to time. I hate to admit, but I can let other people’s success get to me. I don’t know why. I mean I’m having a really good year right now. I’m working as a community manager for one company, a social media manager for another,...

Last Legs or Wheels

July 16, 2011
By

I drove my husband’s Mercury Mountaineer today. I don’t drive this car often. The bodywork is solid. The electric seats work a treat. The CD player does not work. The radio and speakers are super crackly, but not all the time. The AC is a distant memory. At 13 years old, this car is...
