I don’t know what other Mothers and Daughters discuss between themselves while eating lunch at Disneyland, but our conversation went something like. “Which evil character do you think you most resemble?” “Evil Character?” “Yea. Lady Tremaine, Cinderella’s wicked Stepmother, Snow White’s step mother the Queen, Cruelladevil, My personal favorite, Maleficent from sleeping beauty…” “Are you …

No Matter What
I started a tradition and didn’t even know it. I started taking my daughters on “mommy trips”. Just the two of us. Last year I took Ciera to Oregon and Northern California. We rented a car and went wherever we felt like going. One day we sat in an amusement park arguing. But at the …
Business Breakfast Bust
This week we went to a business breakfast meeting. It is held weekly with other business people who work together to promote each other’s work. It is like having 27 other people networking for you. It is a very good idea, don’t you think? I had all these grandiose ideas on how I’d promote my …

Not the Dowager Part
‘One day, a dowager of the breed that mistake impertinence for wit took a swipe at him.’ Victor Hugo from Les Misérables I love that line. ‘of the breed that mistake impertinence for wit’. Who hasn’t been of that breed at one youthful or drunken or weak moment in their life? (Not the Dowager part, …
