I am on a journey.
Writing
I have been terrible about writing. I have been so busy with do many other things that it has been pushed to the backburner. I am ready for that to change. Going to do some thinking about this and decide if it’s possible for me to fit the writing/blogging in to my insane schedule. Will update soon, no matter what.

{Warning - I am writing this without knowing really where it is going or even much of what the point of it is. I just felt a need to write it.}
I do a lot of thinking - deep thinking - late at night and early in the morning. Something that I have been thinking about a lot lately, for one reason or another, is friendships and how well I know people and how well people know me. This morning was one...

People surprise me. It is funny how you think you can know someone and really you have no idea. I actually like being surprised though. I like learning about people and their likes and dislikes and their beliefs or non-beliefs. I like hearing about their past and their family-life and what it was like for them growing up. I enjoy hearing what they like to do in their spare time and what it is that...

Monthly Review
Today is February 1st, 2010. One month ago, I made some resolutions - or goals, really. Every year I make them, and every year I tend to break them. So, something that I am going to try to do this year is repost those goals at the beginning of every month and assess whether or not I am really reaching for those goals.
1. I am going to hit my “goal” weight this year! I am definitely closer now...

Haiti
It is hard right now to give money to others, especially when we don’t feel like we have enough ourselves. The economy has hit everyone quite hard over the past two years. After hearing and reading and watching everything on the tragedy in Haiti, I really want to do something, but my funds are limited. However, I have found there are ways to help without giving dollars. There is a place here...

Even in this dog-eat-dog world, this local advertising agency can’t seem to bite off more than it can chew. Learn how two women keep boutique service with corporate thinking.
