This is on my mind right now; staying sane. Itās the middle of summer vacation for our kids, and Iām dying a little on the inside each and every day. Oh, yes, I love my kids. I adore them. Iād move Heaven and Earth for these four gorgeous little miracles, but sometimes (every 30 to […] More
Sometimes things just sit with me for a while, and I think about them quite often. My husband is going to be working solely from home in a few weeks, which is something we have been working toward for a while. His office now is almost an hour from home, and most of what he […] More

For many, finding a new job is a necessity. For others, itās something theyād like to do but are not in a big rush since they already have gainful employment and a good job.

It often feels to many working Americans that you are not in control of your own career. That mindset is a killer. You are in control of your own career. You have every opportunity to do what you want to do for a living and to be the success youāve always imagined; all you have […] More
