High heels make a gal feel great

This morning I was catching up my reading – it could consume my entire day if I let it – and took a much needed detour from work related topics to something FUN.  Jo-Lynne’s post about end of summer / fall fashion got me thinking about how much I like to wear high heels, but don’t.  As a “work from home / stay at home / work for myself at the office outside the home” mom my wardrobe is *VERY* casual.  I have three main modes of dress – meeting clients, casual work, and cat vomit.  I tend to hover around casual work, which means a nearly stain free tee, capri jeans, and flip flops.  You don’t even want to know what the cat vomit days look like…

After reading Jo-Lynne’s post, and thinking back to the times I’ve met her in person – she always looks amazing.  She has one more kid than I do, and seems much more put together in home and fashion than I am.  After thinking about it, I realized I need to wear high heels more.  Casually.  Usually heels are reserved for the meeting client days, because besides being professional, they make me feel more ‘grown up’ as if being nearly 40 didn’t already.  I’m getting better with makeup, but not my hair (the fact that it falls out in huge nasty clumps isn’t exactly inspiring to take the time to style it).

So if I can add this one little thing – wearing heels on a casual basis – to my life it may just give me a bit of a confidence boost.  Maybe it’s the small simple things in life that make all the difference…

Spinning My Wheels

Lately I have been so busy spinning my wheels at work there is no time for anything else except for family.  All I do is chase business and work.  No conferences, no networking, no meetups, no book writing – nothing.  There can be no growth if there is no exit from my cute little office.  While I love our existing clients, every business needs a healthy flow of fresh new client faces.  Running lean on staff, as most small businesses do, doesn’t leave me much time to cultivate and nurture new relationships for business like I should be doing.  Right now I’m running fast as hell in place and getting nowhere.

I want need to start soliciting the book proposal that I have been sitting on half finished for over a year.

I want need to travel to conferences to meet new people and make new business.

I want need to work with a few high-profile clients that actually agree to let me use their name publicly instead of keeping my company behind the curtain.

I still want need a vacation with my family.
