One of the things my business support team does every week is have each person share a highlight with the group – often it’s a business highlight, but not always. It might be a strong business week, a change in perspective that better equips us to move forward, something we particularly enjoyed or whatever seems [...]

The Hour of the Work at Home Mom Has Come
Jan 29th, 2010
Do you pay attention to trends? I find it very interesting to reflect upon them – sociological trends, business trends, worldwide trends – trends of all kinds. Have you ever thought of yourself as a part of a trend?!

This time of year, there are lots of folks re-assessing their situations…their personal and professional situations, their financial status, their family dynamics. Assessing and evaluating. Maybe you are one of those asking questions like:

Judging
Sep 4th, 2008
Do you ever feel judged for being or wanting to be a work at home mom?
