Class is in Session

| August 23, 2011 | 3 Comments

I feel like such an idiot.  Brave soul that I am, I’ve ventured into new career territory this fall, and I’m already wishing I’d bought a career GPS. Or at least a map. Starting tomorrow, I’ll be teaching a university class two days a week, and two high school classes one day a week.  I [...]

Risks Taken

| August 19, 2011 | 2 Comments

I’ve have written before about my son’s wife who, in February,  had a massive stroke at age 49. She is making progress.  It’s slow but it’s progress and for that we are thankful. The risks I recently took had to do with being with them for an extended stay.  I had been wanting – needing [...]

Working Up the Nerve to Say It Out Loud

| August 17, 2011 | 3 Comments

There is this thing in my life that’s been here for a long, long, long time. I’ve known about it for over 40 years, but have never spoken of it but with a trusted few. It is integral to who I am, yet I’m SOOOO intimidated to say it out loud, lest the world think [...]

would like to say she made the leap from Corporate America to web coach / WordPress developer on her own terms...but no, she lost her job after the CEO ran off with the 401K funds and went to jail. So, she started her own business with 3 kids, 2 dogs and a cat in tow on Dec. 6, 2002. It's been a wild ride, worth every risk, and she now proudly deems herself "pyschologically unemployable".

The Drive In

| August 11, 2011 | 5 Comments

My drive to work takes between 45 minutes and an hour.  No matter what I do, that’s how things will go.  Each morning when I pull out of the driveway I begin making decisions.  Through downtown Decatur or go around and take Scott Boulevard? Take Interestate 285 or through the back streets?  And if the back [...]

The Risk of Knowing

| August 11, 2011 | 4 Comments

Recently, I have been on a quest for answers. It’s not that I don’t have any, because I do. It’s just that I was thinking about the phrase : “ you can’t un-ring the bell” . Let me give you an example. My friend has had stomach problems. Various doctors had told her various possibilities [...]

Say What You Will

| August 8, 2011 | 3 Comments

I usually leave the room to do quick chores when TV commercials come on (I’m not a channel changer), but today I sat through the ads. One caught my attention – a newly released CD by Justin Hines. Who? My curiosity sent me to Google where I discovered he is a young Canadian confined to [...]

Letting Go, Part Deux

| August 7, 2011 | 4 Comments

I have so much to learn, still. I’m fifty years old, and I’m still learning that I have control issues.  I am even beginning to see my old perfectionism as a form of control:  if I can do everything perfectly, then I can control how other people perceive me. I got into trouble early in [...]

Just do it? I just did it!

| July 25, 2011 | 7 Comments

I haven’t written on my prescribed day in a while.  I guess I should be ashamed since it’s my own darned blog.  And I could certainly go there with myself.  But I’m not going to do that – not today, anyway.  I am simply going to check in, and let you know that, even though [...]

Game Change

| July 23, 2011 | 3 Comments

I’m going to take a big risk this fall, and change my career from performing to teaching.   I might do this for three months, and I might keep doing it longer, depending on how it works out.  I’m going to teach classes and coach students in my field, acting.  I hope it will be deeply [...]

Arms or Fins?

| July 18, 2011 | 2 Comments

I want to share something with you that I read a few days ago. I know you must be saying, “Oh, here she goes again -quoting Mark Nepo!” Yep. That’s just what I’m going to do. You see I read Mark Nepo every morning from his book “The Book of Awakening.” What a way to [...]
