Let's Get Personal: Dealing with Grief
My father-in-law passed away this week. My husband and I cried together when we first heard the news about it his dad. But over the next 24 hours I found myself realizing how differently he and I grieve. I haven’t had a whole lot of time to process, and will probably blog about this topic…
Read MoreWhat is Your Passion?
To some people, I am sure I appeared scattered. Many probably wonder how – and why – I juggle owning and operating three seemingly unrelated businesses.

Read More"Getting it" Changes Everything
Understanding Personalities has impacted every area of my life.

Read MoreA Double Header! ProNet and Toastmasters
I love to talk. I always have. But I love it even more when I am speaking to share a message. This was the case yesterday…twice! In the morning, I presented my Personalities & Networking seminar to an organization called ProNet. ProNet is a professional network to assist the currently unemployed to re-enter the work…

For a lot of people, this time of year means more time spent with family. Some people look forward to this part of the Christmas season. Others…not so much.
