I'm a person who is constantly on the go. I move fast, and I completely over-schedule my days, making me late for everything. This is something I am working on, and it has been a New Years Resolution many times over to allow for more time for things. However much time I think I need to allow f...

A month ago I joined a group of Active Rain members in a challenge. We were to create an original blog post for each day of May. I was feeling pretty motivated toward the end of April when I joined, but when May came around, I realized I picked the wrong month to make additional commitments. M...

I spent most of today preparing for a baby shower I was hosting. I was running around like a mad woman before all the guests had arrived to my neighborhood's clubhouse. I had been "delegating" responsibilities to my husband all morning and afternoon, and being the sweetheart that he is, he even ...

Where do you get your business from? I was thinking today of all of the leads/clients I have right now, and I thought it was interesting how once I got a little business rolling, it snowballed into an avalanche! These are the last five people I have signed on. 5. Craigslist - I'm working with a...

This was an amusing sign scrawled in orange paint across the front of a man's home in Cary, NC a few years ago. It always gave me a good chuckle. The homeowner blamed the town for diverting rainwater from the road into his home during a road widening project on Maynard Rd. He wanted the town t...
