Your credentials, please? Parenting may be a profession – and certainly is, in my view – but there are no guarantees, no cap and gown after years of study. No diploma. No certification. Just a physician handing over a squalling little creature that owns your heart. And then it’s off to the races, figuring it […]

Reading Between the Lines
Competition and Coexistence, Print vs. Online One evening last week, I attended a panel discussion that included several notables in the world of interior design and fashion, including journalists. The panel discussion focused on the intersection of design services, magazines, and online venues, blogging in particular, in the world of style. One of the participants […]
WooHoo!! (Sky rockets in flight!)
Sky rockets in flight! (No nasty bugs in sight… ) Let’s raise a toast (regardless of the hour) to fab friends and their good graces. No more bad clothing (or lack of cherries) around these here parts. A HUGE merci to a lovely woman with magic in her fingers, patience in her persona, determination in […]

(As have been the […]

Rough week. Of course, you know that, and I managed to get by with a little help from my friends. But it’s enough already! Okay. Apparently not. I was down. I was up! And then I was down again. Sucker punch. Yesterday, not even 24 hours after the last technology disaster, some nasty Trojan decimated […]
With a Little Help From My Friends
Technology trauma Yesterday was rough. Very rough. It took more than five hours to write simply, about simplicity. What’s not to love about that? And I struggled through those hours, trying to avoid a total emotional meltdown due to a serious software snafu beyond my control. I persisted; stubbornness can be an asset. I wrote […]
Keep It Simple
Getting to a simple lifestyle. Not so simple!
