  Put a Ribbon in My Hair?!?   Attitude, Change, Choices, Growth, Inspiration (2)

  Life is Like a Math Problem   Growth, Inspiration (1)

  I bet you don’t know this about me, but I’m a math whiz! I love math, and I love numbers. Nothing used to make me happier in school than working algebra problems and differential equations.

  PodCamp - the connection enabler!   Blogging, Connections, Growth, Podcasts (4)

  One year ago, I happened to hear that there was this PodCamp thing about to happen in Boston. It was an unconference and free to all participants. PodCamp, related to podcasting, maybe?

  Change   Change, Growth (1)

  Change. For many of my adult years I dreaded the word…change…ARGHH! I fought it. I resisted any form of change to my comfortable routine of life. My automatic reaction to any suggestion for change was an emphatic no.
