Work and Life Balance

It’s been a few weeks since I wrote a blog post.  There have been so many exciting things going on that I can’t wait to share with you.  Lots of travel, new business ventures to help you be successful AND have a life and a whole new look coming for the blog courtesy of the…

Have you ever heard the expression: “Getting on your dime”?  It’ about figuring out what you do best and focusing on that.  Tom Petty is an amazing musician and totally on his dime.  He knows what he is about and what kind of music works for him.  He sticks with what works.  Warren Buffet is…

Yet another tidbit of information that I realized this week is not in any of the parenting books. Gary and I have been planning our trip to Greece for 6 weeks and I have been incredibly excited the entire time, up until 2 days before we left.  It was our first big trip without the…
