I completed my 6th speech at Toastmasters on Saturday.  Only four more to go before I earn my Advanced Communicator Bronze (ACB).  I will have that before the end of June. As I continue to learn more about the service I’ll be offering under The Write Design Company, I get more excited. I need my [...]

After having a discussion with my Improv instructor, I finally have an answer to what’s been ailing me for the past few months. I am trying to break out of the box that I have been placed in all my life. So, even though I am damned near old as Methuselah, I am holding tight [...]

Someone asked me if I would choose skating or sex? What the hell kind of question is that? The wheels will be there after the romance is over. And, being in my birthing years, having sex can take me off of my wheels and mess up years of practice and learning. WHEELS! WHEELS! WHEELS! Note: [...]

I can’t share all of the details because it just came to me a couple days ago, and I have to copyright a draft.  All I know is that I want it published within six months.  It won’t be that long, but it will be cool. Speaking of books, I am thinking about creating photo [...]

First,  I am excited that I was able to send the new and improved Shorty to people on my mailing list within a week of my goal.  My site is set up to make money.  I had to make sure it looked like money, so I included ads in the available spaces so my people [...]

I promise you I feel like I should have FREE written across my forehead.  Seriously.

But, I just have to say something. I received an email from someone at 12:00 a.m. requesting support of an event at 11:00 a.m.  While I understand that things happen, people need to give ample notice for certain events.  Then, “they” had their little soapbox moment stating that people should support people and events.  Well, [...]
