Confessions of the Tweet-less Yeah, I admit it. I don’t get Twitter so I’m on a quest to increase my Twitter presence and knowledge base about all things Twitterville. I understand the part about the 140 character limitation, but what I don’t understand is how to use those limitations to build relationships …
Happy New Year: In With the New By Guest Writer DJ Ok, so we are in the 3rd week of 2015! Most people are still greeting those whom they have not seen since last year with a “Happy New Year” greeting. I can’t tell you how many people I have …

Roseanne Rosannadanna In the days when I used to watch Saturday Night Live, Gilda Radner’s character would always crack me up. I always looked forward to her sketches. Many of you will remember her famous line “it’s always something.” No matter how many times I heard her utter those words, it …

Doubt is the Enemy No doubt you were born the person that you were meant to be. However, en route to adulthood, there are many things that influence the person you’ll become. If you’re fortunate, and I hope that you are, you were raised by loving and caring parents that …
You Get to Chose: Limit or Empower I know this seems cliché’ and I apologize for that (simply because I detest clichés), but I digress. When you really sit and think about this for a time, you will soon come to realize the truth in this statement: You are limited …
Take Baby-steps to Achieve the Big Goal When you’re reaching for your goal, sometimes getting there may seem a bit overwhelming. In large part, that may be because you are trying to take on too much at one time. To get to the big picture, you have to start looking …
