For three consecutive nights, I’ve had disturbing, ominous nightmares. I’m a very happy, upbeat person by nature and I currently have no major stress in my life, so I’m not sure what the cause of these midnight hallucinations might be.

One of the things I marveled about during my hot air balloon ride last month was the weight and the power silence can have.

Some Irritating Facts About Being an Unpublished Author. My good friend Merethe recently wrote this article and it’s probably one of the most hilarious – and accurate – accounts of the process for getting an agent/publisher I’ve read in a long time.

I am very blessed to work for a company that truly has it’s priorities in the right place. In a bad economy, most organizations are focused on: “What can we do to improve the bottom line?” Where I work, they are focused on: “What can we do to elevate our employees?” As a result of…
OK, have you ever noticed that when it rains, it pours? Well, the same also works for POSITIVES in life, too. On Monday, I was thrilled to learn that my school’s portal, Connect, had picked up an article I’d written about Twitter and how I used it to network and gain a relationship with a…
