- My favorite color is purple.
- I hate rain.
- I always thought I'd be a 6th grade English teacher.
I have an 18 year old daughter and a 15 year old son. They refuse to ever live home. They claim they like the way it's decorated.
When I tell people that I'm married to an engineer, they usually extend their condolences.

Are YOU A Winner?
In my day planner I carry a bookmark that reminds me daily of why I choose to care so much, love so much and find so much joy in the ordinary. I hope you have a winner inside of you!
Here's what my bookmarks says a WINNER really is:
Winners are everyday heroes. Winners take their dreams seriously. Winners never give up and won't let you give up either. Winners have attitude. Winners care in their sleep. Winners make big things happen a little at a time. Winners say "YES… Continue

Where's Your Inner Phoenix?
It can happen to anyone at any time . . . life gets in the way.
Remember all of those dreams you had? You know the ones, the dreams of creating the life you wanted, the lifestyle you craved and the flexibility and freedom to live on your own terms.
For me, somewhere between business ownership, "mom-dom" and "wife-dom", I put some of my dreams on hold. Eventually, the fire inside that I had for those dreams started to fizzle until the flame went out.

What's Your Theme Song For Today?
The sun is out today in the Raleigh metro area. If you know me well, then you know I can only go about 2 days without sunshine before I start to eat paste and climb the walls.
Today, there is a special skip in my step. The sun is beaming. I'm working from home. I'm waiting (ever so impatiently) for my website to be finished with its new look. And IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!
Most people know that Friday is my "Sharpen The Saw" day. If you are a 7 Habits follower, this will make sense… Continue

Why I'm So Glad That My Stepfather Taught Me How To Drive Backward
When do you ever really need to know how to drive backward? I mean really, we might back up to adjust for parking, but no one ever really "drives" backward right?
When I was 15, my stepfather taught me how to drive. He insisted that I learn how to drive based on 2 fundamental principles.
Principle #1 - Learn how to drive a stick (manual) just in case you go out on a date with a guy driving a pick-up truck and he tells you "put out or get out". You can kick him in the b*lls, take his key… Continue

What's Your Crazy Collectible?
Come on . . . we all have one crazy thing that we collect that we don't tell folks about.
OK, maybe your closest of close friends know about it, or your family. But other than that, no one knows that you are collecting this "thing".
My "thing", my crazy collectible thing . . . is a coffee mug.
Might sound strange to some as I've been a tea drinker my whole life. But then . . . wham!
My daughter turned 13 and I have been surviving off coffee ever since.
Any guesses on why? (She… Continue
