The only thing that burns more than being passed over for a job in favor of another person is being passed over for a job that’s being given to a robot. It might sound like a horror scene from a science-fiction movie, but it’s actual real life these days. That’s right; robots are actually taking […] More

Everyone who loves extreme sports seems to have a GoPro, the cool camera that is designed to go anywhere and shoot anything while you’re in the middle of the most amazing experiences of your life. As someone who is not all that into extreme sports (I am the mother of four and safety is a […] More

Returning to work is never easy when you’ve been gone. It doesn’t matter if you were on maternity leave, you left to raise your kids, you went on a vacation or you just started a new job; going back to work is a chore no matter how long you’ve been gone. I mean, I think […] More

If you prefer working with animals to working with humans, chances are good that you have worked with humans in the past.

I don’t know about you, but I’m a morning person. I enjoy my mornings because I’m more productive in the mornings. I like the peace and the quiet, and the promise of a new day. Mornings are one of the very rare moments in my life in which my kids are all asleep and I […] More

Growing up I always dreamed of writing. I loved it. I won an award in kindergarten for my first book, and it went to a state competition that it also won for best writing and illustration for my age group. I continued on this path, writing ‘books’ and short stories throughout my life, and my […] More
