That may be the most intimidating title I’ve ever written. Doesn’t seem so scary to you? Well, maybe not for you, but for me this represents probably the largest step of faith I’ve taken in about 15 years. It all began in April, shortly after my 40th birthday party. I awoke the next morning, after… Continue reading We are “GO” for launch!

Men are from Mars, Women Make Sense
We women get teased a lot. About our habits, our quirks, all those unique things that make us…well, women. But let me tell you, we have great ideas. And if we were in charge of the world, there are some definite changes we could make to improve things.
