Giving up gifts for the holidays
It won’t be that drastic this first year but it’s coming (someone warn my kids). I am sick of toys and clutter and excess. I am disgusted with the fact that my husband and I cleaned out our kid’s toy box and found toys that had never really been played with.
Read MoreBullies Leave Scars
Autumn and winter – and the holidays that go with it – tend to be a tipping point for some that are dealing (or not dealing) with things like depression, bullying, or intolerance in their lives. It’s not just younger people that have a difficult time, older more ‘life experienced’ folks in their 40s and 50s and beyond struggle to cope as well. Online it’s easy to hide feelings and appear manic all the time. Super easy. It’s also easy to get lost in the shuffle and overlooked even when using online tools (like Google+, Twitter, or Facebook) to reach out for help. Chris Brogan wrote up an amazing article about this very topic, and this along with the other Chris’ post made me want to tell the small bit of story above that I did.

I still weigh 5 pounds more than when I started (I was up 10 pounds, so that’s an improvement) and wear the same size clothing. Blah blah blah I know I’m healthier & stronger and muscle weighs more than fat, but I want to be thinner too. I don’t need to be stick thin and understand I will always have curves, but I cannot stand the belly any longer.

Ten Years Later
My 9/11 story is as unique as everyone else’s. I can barely speak it out loud, but needed to at least write it down for my children’s sake. My 9/11 story is one of luck and gratitude.

Overloading on Projects
Depending on where you ‘follow’ me I either look like I’ve fallen off the planet or taken over the planet. In the eight short weeks since Google+ has hit the streets in ‘limited field trial’ mode I’ve been on a mission. After getting an invite to Google+ on the first day it was open to the limited public, I started Women of Google+ and have been spending my time trying to build a community there as well as keep up with all the other projects that fell on my lap.
