So far, I have just one. A boomerang baby is a baby you care for and nurture until s/he’s grown, send out into the world when it’s time, only to have him/her return home again. And again. And again. Mmmmm hmmmm… Funny thing is, I was wondering what I was going to write about this [...]

The Day I Called The Famous Blogger
So, I’m drinking my coffee and reading my email this morning, waiting for my eyes to fully open and my brain to finish booting up, and I come across an email announcing a workshop about getting more traffic to your blog. The workshop is being put on by two recognizable names in the blogging world, [...]
In the Face of Odds Stacked Heavily Against Me and Almost Certain Failure, I Risk…
Ok, you guys – this is a big one. At least for me, it is. Though those who’ve gone before me on this path, both those who were successful and those who failed, agree it was a big one for them, too. It’s had it’s hands around my neck since I was 23. I’m turning [...]
So You Don’t Wonder the Rest of Your Life If You Should Have…
I physically gave birth to three children; they are currently 22, 16 and 10. For the last 11 years, however, I’ve counted two more in my brood – my youngest’s older sister and brother (from her father’s first marriage.) They are currently 23 and 18. Right after my youngest was born, her father finally got [...]
Risking Reporting In
In December, I wrote about being eyeball deep in risk. This month, I want to share with you a letter that my son wrote to me on Valentine’s Day. (Don’t y’all tell on me, cuz he’d be embarrassed.)
Oh Geez…Did I Really Say “Come on over!”???
Ok, Laura – you want us to be blogging about risks we’re taking on purpose…well, honey – here you go. It’s Monday, right? And it’s 1pm and I’m still in my pajamas. (Don’t ask.) And I had a WONDERFUL appointment this morning with a client struggling to identify her target market and niche. In the [...]
Playing What If…?
I’ve been playing “What If…?” with myself recently where my business is concerned. I’ve been trying on some dreams and plans for size…seeing how it might feel to take one path over another, grow one part and let another part go, or maybe add back some services I’d previously stopped offering. Growing beyond where I’m [...]
Finding My Way to Faithless
You invited us to risk being faithless on Monday. You asked us what we think. I began a reply to that post, but when I realized how long it was getting, I thought I’d post it as a new post, instead. For me, at least, it helps to have the context of the passage in [...]
Eyeball Deep in Risk Today
Today, I risk damaging my relationship with my son by enforcing “my stupid rules” and “getting all up in the middle of his business”. Today, I risk losing a client because I had to take the whole day off unexpectedly yesterday to enforce my stupid rules where my son is concerned and left the client [...]
A Safer Bet than Black Friday
First, I’m happy to report our stay-home Thanksgiving was just lovely. And I’m proud to report I took a risk with my turkey and changed up the way I cooked it and it turned out GREAT! Take a look! Today, instead of risking life and limb joining the crowds in the stores, I’m going to [...]
