Could only be described as a treat.
Tonight we heard Cokie Roberts talk about her new book Ladies of Liberty: The Women Who Shaped Our Nation.
James and I were lucky… we got seats in the third row - and could see Cokie as if she were simply across a large living room.
Cokie started with stories [...]

Barack Obama did.
BlogHer is a community of 13,000+ women who blog (including me) with a total reach of more than 9 million readers.
Last summer, at the annual BlogHer meeting, the BlogHer political team announced the creation of a platform of questions to be asked of presidential candidates.
The questions were to be nonpartisian in nature - and relevent [...]

I probably should have just hit delete.
Yesterday I got an email from a personal address that looked sort of familiar.
There was no subject line and an attachment to boot.

In the midst of a busy week.
James and I just spent the week at St. Pete Beach.

Spent hours doing strategic planning for our business.

Soak up sunsets on the beach.
Enjoy the Gulf [...]

As the bride and groom exchange vows, the floating chapel tours the waters.
What a fun way to have it all!
(I almost wanted to [...]

Which made me the woman I am today.

Just so you can volunteer your time?
Last week I attended two days of ASAE’s Summit on Social Responsibility.
I couldn’t make the third day - which was a bummer.
They were breaking into work groups.

And twice as loud to boot!
“You are a horrible man!” she yelled.
I was at the local CVS picking up a few items…
“You are worse than Donald Trump!” she roared.
I couldn’t imagine what was going on - a lover’s quarrel?
“I will never buy anything from you again!”
I saw a short woman turning red with rage [...]
