Published on June 1, 2008

Wow, this was one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed.
I’m not typically a big Mexico enthusiast. Not being a big partier and knowing that the water in Mexico is always a risk to Montezuma’s Revenge, I tend to keep to the Caribbean and Hawaii for my exotic vacations.

When Was The Last Time You Took Monday Off…Just Because?

Published on March 22, 2008

Last week, I had one of my usual Mondays.  I got up, ate breakfast, meditated, went to work out, went to an appointment, had a nice long lunch with my honey out by the lake, ran a couple of errands, came home, took the dog for a long walk in the hills, read another chapter [...]

Ok, I admit that once in a while I fall prey to the overwhelm beast.

A Real-Life Money Tree

Published on December 26, 2007

Have you ever wished you could have your very own money tree?
Well this year, my virtual assistant, Ann, gave me my very own money tree for Christmas. I loved my money tree and it now has a prominent place in my office to create more “money energy.”

A Do-It-Yourself’er Lesson Learned

Published on December 20, 2007

I’m sitting at my desk and I hear this HUGE crash downstairs. My heart starts racing and for a moment, I have a vision of my honey sprawled on the garage floor, bleeding to death…or worse.
As I race downstairs Mark is walking in the door (whew, he’s not dead) with his hand covered in blood. [...]
