It’s Not All Small Stuff
I almost lost my daughter last Friday. No, I’m not kidding and no, I don’t mean in the relationship sense. My daughters and I are best friends.
I mean drowning – in the ocean – in Jamaica.
It was really weird, because from the moment she told me she was going to Jamaica with friends, I felt [...]
Women in Business – and Media
Not too long ago
I was asked to give my opinion on how women are portrayed in media. Perfect question for me since I have very strong opinions on the subject. My current opinions are how I’ve always felt, by the way, even as a teenager. Don’t think I thought about it at all before then, [...]
Virtual Business Professional
While I haven’t come up with more conclusive evidence about “Virtual Assistant” vs. “Virtual Business Professional,” I do have an exciting announcement to make:
I now have a graphic artist and website designer who has joined my team. He would definitely fall under “Virtual Business Professional,” even though he assists me by designing websites for my [...]
Professional New Year’s Resolutions

Everyone is in the Pursuit of [...]
Exercising at Work
There it is – finally!! A way to reduce my bum! I’m so very excited about this. I’ve been planning this ever since I saw this on a blog post ages ago! There’s an actual website that talks about buying a treadmill desk (for $4,000 or so which I obviously didn’t do), or making a [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Animals in the Workplace
Animals in MY workplace, anyway! Yes, I am an animal person. For those of you who know me, that’s old news. My life would be very empty without them, although at times it’s a bit trying. Like when I’m on the phone with a client and my cockatoo decides she’d like a word with the person on the [...]
Follow-up to Success
