    Rather than write a bunch of thoughts about Facebook and whether having a business Page on Facebook is a good idea, I'd like to ask a question?  Should I?I did, for a time, have both a personal Facebook account and started a Page for my art business.  But Time became a tyrant and I began to weigh which social media "things" were most beneficial to my business.  I dropped Facebook because I felt at the time that it was little more than a "time eater."  Read more >

    As I do every day, I perused the headlines at MSNBC.com - I like to get an idea of what's going on in the world and the app on my iPhone gives a nice list of the day's headlines.  Of course most times it's all bad news as something awful happens somewhere on this planet all the time.  Today one item grabbed my attention.  Read more >

    Everyone is creative. Wait, before you protest here's why I say that.  Let's take a peanut butter and jelly sandwich as an example.  It's pretty basic: bread, peanut butter and jelly - the peanut butter and the jelly are put between two pieces of bread.  There.  Nothing creative about that is there?  Wait.  Yes there is. Here come the individualized creative decisions that go into your PB&J:  Read more >

    This New Year's has been different in one very important way: I did not make a list of resolutions. I usually do, but this time I didn't. What I did do was to make a "resolve." Just one.I admit that occassionally I've been a bit of a cliche as my New Year's resolutions list included the usual:  Read more >

    Today I feel as though the sky is clearer and the smog has dissippated.  The smog of Facebook has scattered, broken apart into nano particles of nothingness.  The air is clear. I discontinued my involvement with Facebook [FB].  Read more >

     The FedEx truck just stopped in front of my house.  At first I thought it was the delivery of a book I've been waiting for but then I saw the driver carrying a rather large box.  Maybe my husband ordered something, I thought.  I went to the door and saw that it was addressed to me.  Oh, I do like a surprise!   Read more >

    Going to a conference that was primarily women and with over 3,000 in attendance proved to be overwhelming and daunting for me. And life changing.  And all because of my last minute decision to attend the "Owning Your Beauty..." panel session.  Read more >

    Okay, here's what happened: I was riding along and this post jumped out at me and my bicycle, and I went flying over it. However, my husband tells it differently - we'll get to that in a moment.  Read more >

    Laurence Fishburn Leaving CSI?

    All good things do come to an end, and I did love watching actor Laurence Fishburne play the character Dr. Ray Langston on CSI.  Too bad and so sad Fishburne is leaving CSI because I liked the way he worked so hard to fit in with the team both within the neverland of the show and within the troupe of actors.Courtesy of CBS  Read more >
