Hi There,
You know those days? The ones that never get going the way you intended... For me, that was today.
I won't get into the mundane details but there were a few phone calls and things just got derailed. It was family 'stuff', nothing to do with my business, but I am grateful that I could drop what I was working on, to deal with it.
After the dust settled and after dinner, and after helping one of my client's with their virtual banking issues, I got to read some information that I have been wanting to get to, for a week now.
I did see something I thought was amusing today though. We had a dusting of snow overnight and first thing this morning the fellow who is contracted by the condo association came to 'plow'. You have to see just how little it snowed to see how silly this is... but he was here. After driving around the driveway 3 times, scraping the road, he stopped to clean the sidewalk areas. He used a 'Leaf-Blower'. I have to say, it was pretty high up on my list of unbelievable sights :-)
It's all good! I'm going to head to bed and get a fresh start in the morning.
So, good night world, see you in the morning.

I need to put together a Press Release, to introduce my business to the world, and I am stuck.
I think the reason is because I have been doing too much research and have read too many "how to's" on the subject and now I am just getting confused. What is the best format, where is the best place to post a Press Release, what do I want and need to put in it?
I have to get it done soon... so back to my notes.
G'Night, Sweet Dreams.

I was up until 5:15 am, this morning working on my website and this blog, set up. I have to say though, I am really loving Wordpress. There are plenty of helpful tutorials on Youtube, as long as you know what you are looking for. This has sometimes been the most challenging part for me.
I wish I was 25 years younger. Of course, it would be great to be 25 again, but that would mean that my daughter wouldn't even be here... so forget about that. Instead, what I really mean is that I wish that all of this was 'there' for me to learn, 25 years ago. I would have loved to have had the opportunity to learn this in school, to do this as a life-long career.
No matter, I'm doing it now and it is definitely 'better late, than never'.
It's 12:30 am, so I'm off to bed... tomorrow is another day :-)
G'Night World

Had a terrific day, today. I was given the opportunity to speak with a Adrienne Smith, an experienced Blogger, who is known as the 'Engagement Superstar'. I connected with Adrienne through her website, www.Adriennesmith.net, because after reading a few of her posts, I realize she has been down a similar path to me. She shares a lot of information on her website and I wanted to find out what more I can learn from her. I plan to work with her in the near future, and I believe I can learn a lot. Thanks Adrienne.
I have also been working on my website. I still have a lot to add and update but I'm happy with the way it is coming together.

Now, back to work on my website. Thanks for stopping by.

It's been a very long time since I have attempted to write a blog post. I suppose there are several good reasons, but the main reason is fear. I am afraid I don't really know how to 'blog' and I don't know if anyone would want to read what I've written, let alone ever see what I've written.
It's a new year, (and a big one for me, I'm turning 50 next month) and I finally feel free of a life that has been holding me down, for far too long. I am very recently divorced from a man who cared about me, but cared a lot more about himself. For years I convinced myself that it was OK, but the longer I stayed in that relationship, the more I lost myself.
I am excited about all of the possibilities before me. My very smart, 23 year old daughter, recently said to me: "Mom. Since I was
born you did everything for everyone else. I'm fine so you don't need I
worry about me, Auntie (my sister) is fine, she's an adult. And Mum-Mum (my Mother) is
going to live another 50 years... Just do it for yourself". "No one ever became successful by being selfless, and if they said they did then they lied!"
Such a smart young woman!
So, with my daughter's blessing, I am off on this new adventure. I have a short list of things I intend to accomplish this year. Not really sure where to start, or how I will achieve them but I have ambition and spunk (still, thank goodness because this I thought I lost about 8 years ago).
Stay tuned, I will include my list on my net blog post. Until then, be well and happy.

On the weekend, I was writing back and forth with a friend,who lives in Scotland,about Extreme Weather.
I commented on my Status, that "I hate to look outside and see allthat snow but that I am grateful that we don’t get the extreme weather that other places do" (referencing the wind storms in Indiana & Kentucky…etc).
My friend said that to people who live in Scotland, ourwinters are ‘Extreme’. It’s all a matter of what you are used to. It’s all relevant.
Still, I think we are pretty lucky… no Hurricanes,very few Tornadoes, little Flooding and our Earthquakes generally do little damage.
It's Saturday evening, and I am tired! We, in the investment business, saw the end of another 'RRSP Season'. What that meant for me was a whole lot of overtime. In the last two weeks I've put in about 2 hours of overtime, per day.
