Networking is a Dirty Word

There I said it! In a recent blog post (here) I shared some random thoughts about networking which is just a term that our society has adopted. None of us like the term and usually we immediately conjure up visions of walking into a crowded room filled with a bunch of men in suits all talking to one another like they are old chums.

Love Your Life, Love Yourself

Some people really get into the spirit of Valentine's Day and others, like me, are a little jaded and think that love should be celebrated year round and not on a day where it is expected. But I got to thinking . . . Rather than succumbing to the "norm" and making it all about your partner and kids, how about if we look at ourselves and our life. Are we madly in love with both?
