Unclutter My Life
I'm not sure what has happened to me but lately, as in the last 6 months, I have felt this incessant need to unclutter my life. I day dream about getting rid of stuff and clearing out space. {this coming from the gal who loves stuff} I had this epiphany...I have a...
Twitter Tip
This past weekend at my son's basketball tournament, a sports writer (with a large twitter following) was tweeting about the tournament. I noticed he was beginning his tweets with "@soandsoteam plays next" instead of beginning the tweet with a period (.) or a word. I...

Can You Find Love at Work?
In honor of the Hallmark holiday...let's talk about love at work. No, I'm not talking about hooking up with a co-worker! I'm talking about loving your work. My keychain says "Love What You Do, Do What You Love" simple enough message but not always easy to accomplish....
