Real Life Isn’t PhotoShopped
Welcome to 2012
I don’t make a list of resolutions, but I set goals and benchmarks instead. One of those is for my health & fitness.
It’s an area of my life that is very important to me. While I love to run, I’m not a competitive athlete. For me, it’s about lifestyle. I love to hike, bike, snow ski, and most anything outdoors.
I know what my drivers license says…(51, but who’s counting?), yet in my head, I’m still in my early to mid-30′s.
To me, being ‘old’ is a state of mind. I don’t know about you, but don’t you want to still be doing the activities you love today in 20 or 30+ years? I know I do! I plan on being the 80 year old still on the ski slopes at Breckenridge!
What Makes Your Heart Sing?
2011 marks my 10-year anniversary of being an entrepreneur.
WOW! Has it been 10 years already? Where did the time go?
It seems like just yesterday that my daughter was in a baby carrier on my lap while I typed away on the computer.
Now, she’s a 10 year old pre-teen who has her own aspirations of becoming a young entrepreneur.
Techno-Challenged
Ten years ago, Mark Zuckerberg and his Facebook friends were still in high school, most of us were on AOL dial-up and a tweet was still something that only birds did.
Back then, I knew absolutely nothing about how to build a website and resources to learn (in language that I could understand!) were non-existent.
Today, we don’t build just a website, we create a web presence… big difference.
My, how times have changed!
What Makes Your Heart Sing?
Has it Been 10 Years Already?
Has It Really Been That Long?
2011 marks my ten-year anniversary of leaving my corporate career to venture out on my own. I think the first thing that comes to mind is that I can hardly believe it’s been a decade already!
This time ten years ago, Emily was an infant and my sons were in high school. We were living in Northern Kentucky, just across the river from Cincinnati.
I grew up in a family business, yet I knew nothing about running one. I knew nothing about the Internet, either, other than to open my browser and surf.
HTML? FTP? What did those mean? Back in 2001, I was on AOL dial-up and Mark Zuckerberg was a high school kid.
My corporate career was spent trading investment portfolios and here I was going to start a business…. on the web? Was I crazy?
9 Quirky Things About Me
Or… Things About Me That I Probably Swore I’d Never Post on a Blog
I haven’t participated in too many of these over the years, but this one sounded like some fun. I couldn’t find a quirky picture of myself, so no pic.
Lynn Terry has this over on her ClickNewz blog, 9 Quirky Things About Me.
1. I am deathly afraid of crossing over railroad tracks..LOVE to ride in a train, just can’t cross the tracks.. weird, I know.
2. Toilet Paper has to be over, not under.
3. It drives me CRAZY when the closet doors are not closed completely. My family loves to drive me nuts by leaving them slightly open.
4. I am terrible at rolling up the toothpaste.
5. When I dry my hair, I have to start on the left side first.. always.
