Hi everyone!
I am participating again in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night Walk on October 3rd in Walnut Creek, California in memory of Robert Harvie and would love your support to reach my goal. Those of you who are not familiar with my background, I’ll share the short version ~ my husband was diagnosed with leukemia (ALL) a little more than 16 years ago. He lost his battle 12 years ago last month at the age of 39. Since then I have been a huge supporter of the society because they were one of the most helpful groups during our long journey. It’s hard to believe 12 years has gone by already and fortunately great strides have been made in finding a cure, even for adults, which wasn’t always the case. I am also walking continue reading »

In a time when we rely so heavily on technology, what would you do if one day you woke up to not having access to all the familiar "tools" to run your business, even simple things such as your computer? In a nutshell, you’d be forced to press the "pause button" – just as I am today! It appears my system was overtaken by something bigger than what my skills could eliminate, so off to the "computer whiz" shop it went. I am borrowing my husband’s "clunker" this morning until he needs it.
While I won’t be able to run my business today and possibly tomorrow "as usual", it will give me an opportunity to catch up on other types of business activities that I tend to put off such as filing, and possibly reading the last couple of issues of Success magazine! (Yes, I am that far behind). Meanwhile, here are some items for you to think about doing, so an event like this doesn’t turn catastrophic.
1. Perform Regular System Backups – I cannot stress this enough. It will make a system "hiccup" or hard drive failure much less stressful when you know all of your files can be retrieved.

Today, I want to share with you a source I periodically use, and the recent email I received from this group. They have a plethora of information on any target market you may want to know more about. Here’s the latest from them…..
As with most groups, there is no homogenous "moms market."
There are nuclear family moms. Traditional moms. Working moms. Military moms. Single moms. Lesbian moms.
There are motherless moms. Teen moms. Neurotic moms. Black moms. Moms with Ph.Ds.
You get the idea.
And while each of these subgroups — and scores more — has certain unique characteristics, there are also common bonds that cut across most mom groupings.
The research study What Moms Think & Do, just issued by EPM Communications, publisher of the monthly newsletter Marketing To Women, continue reading »

I normally don’t share my political views publicly. But have you noticed since the election is so close, the mudslinging is getting worse? I try to ignore all of that and get to the issues , and I’ve got to tell you Palin scares the hell out of me. I’m not the only one either. There is a website, continue reading »
