It has happened to all of us at some point. We are standing there, happily going about our life, all of our plans going smoothly, and then with a huge SWOOP the rug gets pulled right out from under us.
It might be a broken engagement or devastating divorce, a lost job, the sound of your…

I Thought Better of It...
The enclosed little "speech" was written by me in an answer to outdoorzgirl's "Google" post. After I posted it, I was reflecting on the words, and how I truly believe I think they apply to everyone in the Group, as a whole, and should not be… Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (0) | Blog

Last week's miraculous
landing on the Hudson started a flurry of moms confessing to everything
from a paralyzing fear of flying to an even more paralyzing fear of
staying calm had they been on flight 1549, especially with
an… Read More »

It's scary to think that I would not be able to get any money back from 401 and 403b. Someone called it an Economic 9/11. Can't pay the bills, phone calls are non stop; companies looking for money I don't have. Everything I make goes into rent, driving to work, eating and utilities,... Read More »

I survived new, and of course, crashing, software in both gradebook/attendance and scheduling programs this week. Mom and dad are doing okay. We closed on the used mobile home in the senior park for my hubby's parents to move into (but the people moving out trashed it, so we have... Read More »

It's 9:00 a.m. on Monday morning. You have your cup of coffee and you sit down at your computer;
time to check the email. And it's it’s warming up, it’s logging on, and it's checking, checking… checking an-n-n-n-n-n-d, there's nothing. You decide to check again because there's probably something wrong with the server. ------- Still nothing.
You take a deep breath -- no email isn't that big of a deal. You’ll spend a few moments checking job boards. Board #1 -- nothing. Board #2 -- nothing. Board #3 -- nothing; in fact, there's been nothing new on this board for two months.
You begin to hyperventilate. This has been the same scenario for two weeks now. You're wondering if you can get your old job back. Yes, you called your boss a balding, stupid, lazy idiot, but that was a while ago, maybe he's forgotten. Your friend is quitting her job, maybe you can leap into her space.
Stop. Take another deep breath and begin to think clearly. No one ever said working for yourself was going to be easy. All businesses face tough times but you have to be a survivor. Remember all the advice that you've given your clients and remember all the great work that you've created. It's time to put all of your talent into yourself. Read More »
