FogMorning all,

I’ll tell you, when you awake to the free Daily Dose and see something like the image to the left, accompanied by copy like:

Days and days of smog. Yuch. And then rain to clear it away. And if you come over the hills at dawn, you can watch the fog crashing silently against the slopes, a restless ocean of land-locked clouds.

Sometimes it’s worth getting up early…..

It’s a great way to inspire some pretty nifty blog post ideas!

On choosing critical friendship priorities

Quality friendshipsMorning all,

Have you ever had really important work your own important to accomplish….and then realized, other friends are counting on you as well?

This situation was brought home to me yesterday when I was decompressing from the joys of an 18hour-a-day workweek and the Fri/Sat garage sale.  I’m currently in Get Product Launch Ready mode…and my days are filled with everything required for that including: Read more »

Just Freakin’ Do It!

Just do it!Morning all,

Check it out!

It’s not morning!  ‘matter of fact, it’s 4:20pm!  I’ll bet you’re wondering to yourself:

Jeepers Barb, what’s with you today?

So glad you asked!

You see, I’ve been up since 3am, working steadily on my current project.  As I always walk the walk I talk and teach others, I have proactively turned on a dime and am refocusing some of my products to make it super-easy for people to brand themselves online.  We’re talking blindingly simple, amazingly Read more »

Woefully sighing over closed doors

Closed Doors

Morning!

Oh wow, was yesterday ever so much fun!  I had the pleasure of attending our karate dojo’s demostration and presentation for our local Community Day!  As the unofficial photographer of my dojo, I took bleeploads of pictures and a great many of them turned out magnificent.  I always enjoy printing them out on 8.5×11" paper and handing them to the parents; my photography skills are improving greatly.  

But I digress!

Are you painfully enduring wisdom?

Lack of WisdomMorning!

My gosh, what a, ahem, unique weekend and start of the week!  I’ve come to the conclusion that not only is parenting and life a hero’s journey fraught with more emotions than a Punk Rock gospel revival, but it’s also one that causes you (if you lose the ego) a tremendous opportunity to learn as well.

Take a plastic slinky. 

Yes indeed, a blue plastic slinky….a blue plastic slinky that two over-exuberant single-digit boys broke together. 

Give each half to one boy….and see how they choose to react.  Behold: Read more »

Foiled again!Morning!

It’s none of YOUR damned business wrt to the election!

GossipMorning all,

Compelling blog post title and headline, isn’t it?  :)

‘course, I don’t mean YOU as in my beloved reader with regards to me!  Anything I post I expect to be shared…if I didn’t want discussion, I’d tell my wolf plushie about the topic instead (he has yet to reveal even the tiniest detail of my confessions!  :)  ).

Actually, I’m talking about Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol Palin.  As you might have heard, the potential Republician VP’s 17 year old daughter is pregnant.

Got challenges? Shun gravity!

Defy gravityMorning!

Have you ever been faced with an issue that simply defied common sense, sanity and those other annoying aspects of reality?  For example, perhaps like me you’re, ahem, vertically challenged, and need to reach towards the ceiling to retrieve that one crucial component that will save the known world….or at the very least, will provide you with hours of amusing entertainment.

Imagine the following - you’re standing in a hallway, and your heart’s desire is ‘way out of reach for you.  No chairs are beckoning to you for assistance, nor can any ladders be found.  What do you do? Read more »
