So I know you’ve all been sitting at the edge of your seats,  wondering what that picture was that I posted last week.  First though, let me tell you a story. Once upon a time there was computer nerd. He loved computers more than anything. Well, maybe not more than his car or his wife. […]

How many times have you uttered the phrase, “if only . . .” When I was working, I would say, “if only I had more time so that I could exercise more and eat healthier.” Now that I’m caring for my Mom and doing volunteer work, I say, “if only I had more work to […]

Although I like things neat, I’m not a clean freak, like my dear husband, who I affectionately call, “Mr. Ajax.”  I remember when we were dating, I invited him over to my apartment for dinner.  At the time, I had a long commute, on top of working 70 hours a week at a demanding job. […]

There was so much content at the Hubspot Inbound Marketing Conference, it was really hard deciding which sessions to attend. It was also a fun challenge to figure out how to summarize what I’ve learned. I probably could write a year’s worth of blog posts on what I learned! So the second theme of the […]
