Confessions of a PMP CDO DRP

// November 15th, 2012 // No Comments » // Featured Post

I have a confession.  I love to travel.  I love to travel for business, I love to travel for pleasure.  I love being gone for weeks on end or just a quick weekend heading out for an adventure somewhere else.   I have another confession.  I love throwing parties.  People in my house, eating good [...]

A moment’s pause to check-in

// November 14th, 2012 // No Comments » // Featured Post

To say I haven’t taken a moment’s pause since my birthday would be a GRAND understatement.   My work and my social life have taken on, well, lives of their own so to speak.  And usually this would be a great justification to neglect my own personal health and wellbeing but this time around, I’m [...]

A moment of gut clenching truth

// October 16th, 2012 // 2 Comments » // Featured Post, Life

Roughly a month ago, I saw a great post on MightyGirl about Maggie’s list of personal do’s and don’ts. I loved the idea of actually writing down a list for myself and, in doing so, realize that I carry a lot of hidden anger and latent resentment towards certain situations and occasionally even some really [...]

…you might find, you get what you need!

Growing up, my birthday was not exactly a celebrated event and by the time I was in my 20s just accepted that awesome birthdays were something that happened to other people.  Last year I decided to stop moping about not getting the kind of birthdays I wanted and take charge of this (to me) all-important [...]

Relaunching the 101…

// October 10th, 2012 // 3 Comments » // Life

This year, more than ever, as I creep closer and closer to 40, I really want to shake up my life and ensure that I experience new things, spend a lot of quality time with people I want to spend time with (not HAVE to spend time with) and, most importantly, have FUN!!! I’ve revamped [...]

International Day of the Girl

// October 9th, 2012 // No Comments » // Life

Thursday is the United Nations International Day of the Girl, a single day highlighting, celebrating, discussing, and advancing girls lives and opportunities across the globe. As a girl and as the mother of a girl, frankly I think every day should be International Day of the Girl but then I am a bit biased. The [...]

If Hollywood can reboot, so can I!

// October 8th, 2012 // 5 Comments » // Life

The other day I was chatting with one of my friends about how I miss writing, never have time to write and wish I could get back to the old lifeinflux blog when she nicely reminded me that in the time I just spent bitching and moaning about it, I could have written an entire [...]

Me vs. the DMV, Part II

// January 10th, 2012 // 1 Comment » // Featured Post

I think part of my dislike of the DMV is a bit self-fulfilling.  For example, my original appointment was Wednesday and I had every document I needed except my birth certificate and marriage license.  I remembered my divorce decree but the identification proving I was a citizen of the good ole USA and the one [...]

Me vs. the DMV, Part 1

// January 4th, 2012 // 2 Comments » // Featured Post

I have a confession to make.  I hate going to the DMV.   I know, I know. You’re shocked right, because guess what?  YOU TOO hate going to the DMV.  And while I am sure our dislike of standing in line for hours and forking over hundreds of dollars to get a piece of plastic to [...]

A Question of Values

// January 2nd, 2012 // No Comments » // Educating the Chaotic Mind

One of the many reasons we decided to homeschool was to cover a lot of the basics we feel education is lacking these days.   A benefit of bringing her home is that we’ve had an amazing opportunity to reinforce our values as a family and to encourage her to find friends who share those values.  [...]
