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.

It adds all new meaning to “Private Benjamin”

February 1, 2011 Ms. C1 Comment

Regular readers of my blog know that I love Fifi of the LoveFifi.com website.  I have written before about Fifi's  savvy as a business woman, but what I haven't told you is that Fifi has a real soft spot for the military.  She sent out a very heartfelt email over the holiday season talking about [...]

Whose name is on it?

January 31, 2011 Ms. C3 Comments

Years ago someone told me that their mother, who was advancing in age, had been going around the house putting post-it notes on her things.  Each post-it note designated who she wanted to have the item when she died. I have to admit, I admire the planner in her.  It makes sense to clear up [...]

Gnome-body knows the trouble I’ve seen…

January 27, 2011 Ms. C3 Comments

Okay, so here's the thing - I am not a fan of gnomes.  Well, actually that isn't a strong enough statement.  The truth is gnomes creep me out.  And yes, I am talking about those seemingly jovial statues folks put in their yards that have a grin painted on their face in perpetuity.  I know [...]

I’ve come a long way baby!

January 24, 2011 Ms. C2 Comments

Part of my morning ritual is skimming The Forum online (a.ka. InForum).  I deem it important to know if the world has fallen apart since I last checked and discovering that it has not typically sets a good tone for the day.  This morning as I glanced at the home page I saw on the [...]
