One academy awards speech that stuck with me this year was Michael Moore's. He shared how at 16 he nearly committed suicide because he felt different, weird, and didn't fit in. Many students have felt the same at one time or another, myself included. I played sports with the boys and wasn't afraid to get [...]
A new year means our in boxes filling up with endless emails littered with ideas on how to improve our lives in these simple steps. My favorite time of year as I sift through memberships and subscriptions, trashing ones I've done or are outdated. A goal at the top of my list each year, and maybe yours too, [...]
Entrepreneurship is hard work. I don't say those words to scare you, but to prepare you for this blog post. Last year, I took a leap and turned my writing group, CayWriters, into a company. I scrambled to organize everything perfectly so my business would get a fantastic start only to discover I was a parent who convinced [...]
Two blog posts in less than a week? Did I get struck by the writing gods? Nope. But wouldn't that be awesome?! My Wordpress yearly analysis bluntly informed me that my content in 2013 was better than my 2014. Ouch! Thanks for the eye opener WordPress. So, I'm mixing it up with my blog posts this year in a [...]
When setting goals people often say don't bite off more than you can chew. Because I'm crazy like that, I bit off more and then some. I set the bar ridiculously high in 2014 and overdosed on new opportunities because I didn't want to miss even one. The result? A WONDERFUL DISASTER I started a new company, [...]
Releasing a book is stressful. What about when the person you hired to help bails while you're in the middle of organizing an event? AAGGHHH! ***Pulls out several strands of hair while running through the streets of Cayman*** Rather than cyber stalk the person or splash nasty comments about them on social media, I decided to chalk the [...]
CayWriters is hosting the 2nd annual book fair. I wanted to go bigger and better this year, providing writers with more promotional options and writing resources, including workshops. Even with amazing sponsors, chances are you'll still need funds, unless you're a star at getting people to throw money and/or free stuff at you--a skill I've yet to learn. Lol!

Image courtesy of stockimages at FreeDigitalPhotos.net "If you dress shabbily they notice the dress. If you dress impeccably they notice the woman." Working Girl is one of my favorite eighties movie and not just because Harrison Ford starred in it. Wink! Wink! Melanie Griffith's character received this advice and I thought it was perfect [...]

I'm Back! You might not have noticed I was gone, but hopefully you missed me just a little. No excuses I promise! The good news? I've been collecting blog post ideas like crazy and can't wait to share them with you. While you wait for my amazing future posts (chuckle, chuckle), I hope you enjoy this special [...]
