I’ll never forget the day I took my kids “into town” to pick up some roller blades for them. There was a store going out of business, having great sales and my kids were about 2, 4, and 6 at the time. (Found this picture, which shows Shelbey and CJ at ABOUT that age… missing

Honor ME, Please! Promote ME Please!
Maybe I’m the ONLY one who gets irritated by this, and if so… I’m okay with that. (It’s my blog. No one has to agree with me! lol) But, nothing gets me more agitated with speakers (whether they are in front of me on stage….or on the phone in a virtual setting) than when they

Bad Horror Films… and Your Business
We’ve all seen the horror films that – while still making our heart pound with anticipation – also lead us to shout at the future victim who’s running across the screen… in heels. Or staying stuck in one place without even getting up to run because they are so fear-struck. Or always looking behind them,
