Get in the Doing Business

We all have dreams, goals, and adventures on our bucket list. Many of us spend time blogging about them or searching and pinning them on Pinterest. Today I pondered how many of those things will any of us do, try, see, or visit in reality, and the truth is some of us will never see our Pinterest or dream boards come to fruition. I say, let's give it a go. Everything within in reason of course, deserves at least one attempt. I started with recipes and I must say, I was not disappointed and neither were the guys. Last week I made a skinny-chicken parm, and took the boys to the zoo. This week I will attempt one of my DIY projects and a dessert for a labor Day party we are attending this weekend. Obviously, I started small, but hey, you have to start somewhere.

Whatever it is you desire needs your focus, commitment, and attention. If you want to lose weight, get to the business of getting it done. Set a goal, cut your calories, eat healthier foods more often, drink lots of water, and workout for at least thirty minutes every day you can. If you want to redecorate, set a budget, save, choose a room, pick a paint color, buy some frames and art for your walls, a new rug, throw pillows, possibly a fireplace if you do not already have one, and maybe even some new furniture if it is in your budget. Whatever you do, get to the business of getting it done. We make too many excuses. We are easily let off the hook with the crutch of life's many constraints: little or no time, little or no money, distance, or whatever your excuse may be, it may always be there, but whether or not it will stop you is your call.


We spend a lot of time wishing, hoping, wanting, and praying without doing. Do your part. Whatever it is you have been wishing, wanting, hoping and praying for requires your action. Your moving forward brings your desire closer to you so get focused and get moving. Every day can not be a vacation, but there is nothing wrong with planning for one. No matter what it is, big or small, set your goal, do your research, gather information from your friends and family, and get to the business of seeing it done.

Job Seeker: Tips and Tricks to Getting the Call

I know how difficult it is to be on the hunt for a job. You have to practically sleep with the boss-to-be just to get an interview in this economy. Well, if you have more integrity than showing a little boob to your potential employer, here are a few tips to help you stand out from the rest of the pack. So you're in the trenches of job-hunters and your phone just won't ring. How do you get noticed amongst the hundreds of other applicants? Well, you must understand the plight of your potential employer. With so many people unemployed these days, they are literally looking for a needle in a haystack. While the stack of applications flood their desks, acknowledge that you are hardly anything more than another name on a piece of paper. Most employers have the same view of applications- they're pretty much photocopies of each other, but the papers that accompany that application can make all the difference between having a job and still waiting on one. Let's talk about t...

Getting from MS. to MRS.

Usually I post about things that cater to no particular gender, however, this one right here is for the ladies. Fellas, I have not forgotten about you, and will definitely have little something for you at a later date. ;) Now, let's get down to business. First things first, you need to understand the most typical reasons why men usually will not commit in the first place. These reasons have nothing to do with you. These are issues that would be there no matter who he was dating. Simply put, most of them are waiting on the 'bigger, better, deal'- a fatter booty, a cuter face, slimmer waist, good hair, etc. What they don't realize is that waiting on the next best thing turns into anything with a pulse really fast. It will seem as if it happened overnight and then all of a sudden they became 'that dude'. We've all seen him- either at the club or in the grocery store, you can spot 'that dude' from a mile away- middle-aged, probably balding or practical...

Want to jump-start your search for Mr. /Mrs. Right this year? Here are a few simple rules that will help you get a renewed lease on dating and love in 2012. Life is too short for 10 rules so here's 5. Good Luck, and Happy Dating! 1. Know what you want, and mean it. When you don’t know what you want, you just might begin trying any and every option that comes your way. That is a waste of time and a road map to Dramatown, Crazytown, or Beatdown-town. You get the picture. Choose wisely. There's nothing wrong with being selective as long as you remain realistic. 2. Have a conversation. No texting or emailing, but a real verbal interaction. You can tell a lot about a person’s personality and your compatibility just in their tone, their laughter, attentiveness, and the flow. After two conversations you should definitely know if you want to see this person or not. 3. If you list them, they will come… seriously, the list is critical. It forces you to really determine what you ar...
