Read moreIt’s The Little Thing That Matter – The Impact Of a Handwritten Note
As I continue to explore ideas surrounding networking, I thought I’d continue with a post about one of my annual traditions – sending out handwritten notes. Several years ago, I began sending holiday cards. Reaching out to those I cared about to say hello or spread good cheer during the holidays seemed like a great…

This photo was of me laying down a track for a heavy metal/fusion band many years ago. Don’t be fooled by the way I’m dressed. Many moons ago, I worked a square job-meaning a 9-5 day gig. I was a financial services rep for MetLife and also a banker at Chase. Yeah, I did what…

Read more#EQUALITY – Women Paying Lifetime Alimony
Do Men Really Hate Women?
Karen Straughan (@girlwriteswhat) succinctly discusses that men don’t hate women. VERY interesting: I don’t think there is a universe that could exist where men, in general, hate women. So maybe the first thing would be to stop accusing men of hating women? And to call out the women in positions of power who accuse…
