I hate email

Mom — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:21:31 +0000

I hate email. Really, I do. It’s a constant nagging that I’m behind in something at all times. My self-challenge – clear it ALL out by the new year. 2012 – yea…that’s my year. A new way. A new focus.

Transitional Focus, or Hocus Pocus?

Mom — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:42:33 +0000

This has been an interesting year. One of transition, and one promising more transition in 2012. So how can I keep that elusive “focus” that I crave so badly? Is it possible, or just hocus pocus wishful thinking? While I actually enjoy the process of transition, I’m ready to slow it down a bit and [...]

Facebook Friend Pruning

Mom — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 00:42:20 +0000

Maybe it’s the temperamental weather, but I’m in the mood to simplify my Facebook experience. I have many many many “friends” who I know remotely through the staging industry. While it’s a great way to network, I realize that I don’t really know any of them. I accepted their friend requests simply because we had 50+ friends [...]

Senior Moment?

Mom — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 15:31:03 +0000

I had a dream last night about something very cool that I can do with Digzing. But sadly, I cannot remember what it was. Perhaps if I take a nap today it will come back to me. Not sure if it’s a senior moment, side-effect of daily savings, or just a busy multitasking mom thing.

Hi Nate Berkus

I watched TV today. For about 20 minutes. It felt good. I’m not always working on billable projects. And during those times, it never dawns on me that I can relax and schluff a bit (I know that’s not a word, but I like it). So I did it. No one was paying me for [...]

One at a time, please.

There are some days, ok…some weeks, when it’s hard to feel focused. When too many things are screaming for your attention, and the order in which you respond will greatly affect the direction your path will take (yea, no pressure there, huh?). There is no time to evaluate the pros/cons of each, just jump in [...]

Feel free to sweat and grimace

Mom — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 00:53:15 +0000

I think I just figured it out. I know why we women often feel like we’re not appreciated for all the many things we do simultaneously. We make it look too easy. Yes, it’s that simple. So next time you’re paying the bills while making dinner with a load of laundry running and writing your [...]

School Rocks

Did I mention that I’m excited to send the kiddo’s back to school tomorrow? Yes, I’m that excited.

Change is in the air

Mom — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 14:08:19 +0000

September is notoriously transitional. It even smells different! Halloween decor invades retail, the kids are excited and anxious for school to start, and the parents are looking towards the horizon for what’s next. My girls go back to school next week, and I’m beginning a new adventure with a dynamic group of entrepreneurial women, and, thanks to [...]

I’m so much cooler online

Mom — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 15:36:30 +0000

I love Facebook. It’s my window to the real world outside. Or is it? My FB friends are amazing. So amazing, in fact, that I’m a little intimidated at times. Happy pictures, great news, successful careers, high-performing kids, sensitive spouses, and endless witty comments. But wait – this can’t be the whole story. We all have non-Facebook-Worthy [...]
