No one knows he’s crying

No one knows he’s cryingNo one knows he’s dying on the inside‘Cause he’s laughing on the outside See the funny little clownSee him laughing as you walk byEverybody thinks he’s happy’Cause you never see a tear in his eye No one knows he’s cryingNo one...

I celebrated and danced in my kitchen.

Last Thursday after my group coaching call with the team at Networking Solutions, Inc. and StratusDial, LLC, I played “Happy” and danced around. Yeah I’m pretty silly like that. Good thing is I was the only one home so I didn’t get any 🙄 from husband or kids. I really...

Today’s always a day for me to be grateful.

13 years ago, November 12, 2008, I had surgery to remove a carcinoid tumor in my lung. It was found when I was having back pain after I was in a car accident earlier that year. I am so happy to report that when it was surgically removed back in 2008, that was it! I’ve...

Please don’t do this.

In one day I got two of “Please don’t do that” emails. First, I got an email from someone who’s using LinkedIn as a dating site. I’m happily married and even if I was looking, LinkedIn isn’t the place to look someone up and then email a proposition and pictures....

We take them for granted.

We go about our normal days and we work, we take care of our families, and we often forget about them. Veteran’s Day is important because it’s one day a year but we should say “Thank you for your service” as much as possible. Today I salute my father who served in the...

This picture was taken by my 11 year old.

She’s one of my creative minds – artistic, creative, and always thinking. It’s LinkedIn appropriate because it truly captures my favorite season – fall. Anything that allows you to learn more about you as a person is LinkedIn appropriate in my book. We are...

I worked at a library when I was in high school.

It was my first real job. By real job, I mean the first one I got a real paycheck for. I was a babysitter for a family across the street from where we used to live. I don’t count that because I didn’t get a paycheck for it. At the library, that paycheck had my name on...

One picture says a thousand words.

Here’s what this picture says to me… “I don’t have a voice.”“I don’t know what my voice is.”“I’m too shy to share what my voice is.”“I’m afraid of being rejected if I use my voice.” Sure I might be assuming any or all of the above. How do I know what this person is...

Do you head to the recycling bin after getting the mail?

I do. Junk mail, AKA unsolicited mail, has one place and that’s in the recycle bin. The same thing goes for unsolicited emails. When I get unsolicited emails, from people or businesses who send me emails because we’re connected on LinkedIn, I take action. I...

12 takes –

That’s how many versions of my banner image I did until I was happy with it. Even those of us who work with our clients can learn a lesson here. I knew it was time for a change. I knew that I wanted to capture my Purple Squirrel Magnet and my logo. I also wanted...
