Getting Organized with Arc Customizable Notebooks
Blogging and working from home can be a lonely job. I’m grateful for Skype, and my local friends, but the reality is that I often go days without seeing someone. Getting out of the house to attend events is one way I stay connected to our local blogging community, and network. Two weeks ago I […]

Attitude Adjustment
I can remember my mom occasionally telling me I needed an attitude adjustment when I was younger. Looking back now I am sure she was right!
