How I Design a Website
So, I didn't exactly go to school to be a web designer. I have an English degree. There isn't a whole lot you can do with an English degree. Most people say, "Oh, well at least you have A degree" when I tell them that. I'm totally self-taught in design, html, php and...
It’s all about the details.
Every December I go through a purging process. It's about the new year coming, and it's also about me turning a year older. Ideally, I get it all done before the birthday, but the ultimate goal is the 31st. The entire house must be emptied of junk, clothes that don't...
Why FILA and DISH Network get IT, and Huffy doesn’t.
A couple of weeks ago I tweeted to FILA that I was disappointed that my son's shoes completely fell apart after only two months. And when I say fell apart, I mean the sole peeled off both shoes and was flapping in the wind. At first I didn't hear anything from them,...
The downhill slide
My birthday is in one month and a few days. And I'm turning 36. This is my last month of being on the upswing toward 70. In 30 days, I'll be on the downhill slide. Now there's nothing wrong with turning 36. In fact a friend and I decided that people who are turning 36...

It’s too late. You’re too old.

My chains are gone…I’ve been set free.
My chains are gone...I've been set free - those words are part of the chorus of a newer version of the song Amazing Grace. And technically, it's referring to the way Jesus' death set all believers free from their sin (which is super meaningful to me too). But you know...
How a Mess Can Lead to a Breakthrough (or how a lost ring led to biz clarity)
You know those quizzes that are supposed to tell you if you are a right brain person (creative) or a left brain person (logical)? Every time I take one, I'm right in the middle. Creative, with a little bit of logical sprinkled overtop. Which I always translated to...
Do What You Love, Love What You Do
If you haven't realized by now, I'm a huge advocate of doing what you love. I'm doing it, and thank the good Lord, my husband is now too. It's amazing what a difference it makes in your life. The thing about doing what you love is that you will inevitably have to...
