I get questions. I give answers. I used to keep it just between me and the asker, but I get a lot of similar questions, which of course have similar answers. Plus it seems that there are plenty of people with a similar question who haven’t been brave enough to ask. So, now you get . . . → keep reading

IRL FTW!

JA+SWinSTL

I love that I can have clients around the world. I love that I can work anywhere with an internet connection. I love that I don’t have to brush my hair or go to an office or commute more than 13 stairs.

But, sometimes, nothing beats seeing people In Real Life.

It became my mantra while . . . → keep reading

Flashback thanks to Facebook

clarinet

Mr. Leonard, my Junior High School band teacher popped up in the People You May Know box on Facebook. Wow. Just seeing his name and picture brought back so many memories!

Fresh salad from the garden!

Love this time of year. Especially when we get a few blue sky days in a row. It really feels like winter is finally over.

Each week I have two regularly scheduled calls. One is with my mastermind Superheroes group and the other is with a friend and colleague who was in a different mastermind group with me.
