Sometimes you have to take the leap and build your wings on the way down. In the new forty that is what I am doing – building my wings.

I wish I knew then, what I know now…

April 19, 2014 Ms. CLeave a comment

I wish I knew then, what I know now, about the data vulnerabilities tied to technology.  If I had known what a hot mess this would all be I would have never shopped online and operated on a cash only basis.  Alas, that ship has sailed.  Data and technology are inextricably tied together and have [...]

A special place in Hell…

April 18, 2014 Ms. C3 Comments

But with the way my stomach was aching and I the nauseous I was experiencing I wanted to do nothing else but [...]

April 14, 2014 Ms. CLeave a comment

When I run across a great article that I want to reference in my blog, I typically supply a summary and a link to the article.  Unfortunately, the number of folks that check out the original article are often only a fraction of those who read the blog entry.  Sometimes that is of little concern [...]

Niloufar is one of us.

April 13, 2014 Ms. C2 Comments

Today we celebrated the birthday of Cory's girlfriend Niloufar. Her actual birthday is on April 15th, but this was the day when we could bring the whole clan together.  We were together two weeks prior for Cheyenne's birthday and two weeks before that for the birthdays of Cory and my dad.  We will have a [...]
