We’re just hitting our 2nd week into the New Year and I’m sure you’ve all been busy bees, jotting down your intentions to make this your year. Like the Best. Year. Ever. (RIGHT?!) Or don’t you believe in New Year’s resolutions anymore? That’s cool; I don’t really dig the term resolutions either. Sounds too much like absolutions, which in my warped brain starts making me think I need to be...
Hey my lovelies! I did promise more videos, didn’t I? Good, bad or ugly! Please excuse the rag-a-muffin look, it does seem to come naturally. 😉 So. Here is a very short video, dedicated to Thom of InTreeHouses.com and to YOU, who should all totally subscribe to his publication. #JustSayin’. Thom- this thank you’s for you, kid. 😉 (Damn I crack myself up sometimes…) Thom...
Gratitude is a funny thing. We talk a lot about giving thanks for the things or people or events we are grateful for, but when it comes down to it, gratitude is sort of ephemeral. It comes, it goes, and sometimes we forget all about it. But when we pay attention, it’s like an angel with gossamer wings.

OK, so I realize it’s no longer 2010 and this post is a day late and a dollar short. In my defense, I’ve had a lot going on and kiddies underfoot, so finding some time to get things done that I want to get done has been uber difficult. And does it make me a totally bad parent when I say I am SO glad my kiddies are off to school tomorrow?! LOL No really, I adore them but the two week...

I’m not so hot with the whole video thang, so cut me some slack if I flub here and there OK? 😉 After you watch the first one...
OK, so this post is inspired by two things actually. One- Farnoosh and Abubakar have so kindly invited me to participate in their Life Lesson’s series, in which 80+ bloggers have shared their own insights and wisdom when it comes to living. Now it’s my turn. Two- Jac’s recent blog post, on the 20 things as a female solo-preneur she knows for sure and you need to know too. Yet more wisdom and I’ll...
Hey BGB’ers… time for me to share some info on yet another cool event that might just be happening in your area sometime soon. Especially if you live in or near areas like L.A., New York, the ATL, and Chicago to name a few. And for my Orlando people, mark your calendars for May 19- 21! (No, really… mark your fracken calendars, I want to see you there if you can make it!) 😉 Where exactly is...
