My Big 5-1

January 4, 2011

November 12, 2010

A New Year’s Resolution? In November? I must be crazy, right? Nope. Every year at this time I think I have so much time to plan for the new year–new goals, new ways of working, self-improvements. And every new year rolls around and finds me unprepared. If the same thing happens to you, I want [...]

America Has Decided

November 3, 2010

Yesterday was Election Day here in the US. And the vast majority of voters decided that they wanted (yet another) big change. In general, we are really good at embracing change when it means we can do it in a group of thousands of people. Ask us to make a change all on our own, [...]

I Don’t Like It…Anywhere

October 6, 2010

Ever since this “I like it…” stuff started on Facebook, I’ve been feeling squeamish about it. To me, it’s a pretty big leap from handbag-related sexual innuendo to raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research. Last year’s bra color status postings made more sense, although they left a whole gender out of the game. [...]
