L.A. – land of the cell-phone-in-the-ear
Posted by: | Comments
Yep, I’m in L.A. Home of the “cell phone in the ear” land. I’m here for a conference on building an online business. I’m always reading to learn more about how we as demonstrators can increase our market share by marketing online as well as workshops and word-of-mouth. Of course, everything I learn here I will be sharing with you.
Tale about Leadership 2010
Posted by: | CommentsA number of demonstrators were waiting in line to use the one and only computer at the hotel to check-in online and print our boarding passes for our outgoing flights. We were all gabbing and having a good time during the hour-long wait. The person in front of me was Susy Miller. She is a SUN Member so it was nice to catch-up with her.
An Easy & Heathly Habit
Posted by: | Comments
I’m really bad about forming habits, especially healthy habits! So I was so surprised this worked for me that I just had to share with all my demonstrator friends.
We all know how drinking 8 glasses of water a day is a healthy habit. But, you may have a difficult time with as I did. Try this habit out for a month and see if it doesn’t work for you.
What’s in store for 2010

Wow, 2009 is ending as I write this and we are about to begin a new year. Hubby and I were planning a night out for New Year’s Eve, but decided instead to stay in for a cozy night. So I’m cozy on the couch with a hot mug of tea, my planner, and pen. (and laptop is very near too!)

Room with a View
Posted by: | CommentsI’m really enjoying creating scrapbook pages of my travels using My Digital Studio. These shots were taken out of the window of our Germany accommodations in Burghausen Germany. The town is just so charming on the border of Austria in the heart of Bavaria. The castle is a REAL medival castle and can still be toured to this day. It is actually the longest castle in Europe. For more information about the town and castle, click here.
My Venice Travels
Posted by: | CommentsMy friend, Marita & I spent two days in Venice Italy on our European trip. We arrived at 6am by overnight train. At first I wasn’t too excited about that as I’m not a morning person. But it really gave us a fantastic perspective. Before the crowds, tourists, and street vendors….. we saw the real Venice.
Personal Note - I was NOT stalking the guy in the video.
What Does Post Teaser Do?
Posted by: | CommentsI have received several comments about a TWEET I posted @debbiemcneill. I was so excited that I found this plugin by author WeyHan Ng that I sent a tweet out. Let me explain a little more here about what this great WordPress plugin does for my blog site.
I’m a skimmer. When I read the newspaper, technical books, or blogs, I’m skimming looking for articles that interest me. I like to see just a summary or teaser of information in a list and then when I found something of interest, I can click on it for more information.
