Mompreneur Musings: The Quest For Balance

Alarm blares at 6:45am (earlier if I plan to exercise first), get ready for work, spend time with my girls and help them get ready for their day or just be present, breakfast, the dog, out the door and off to work… Phone calls, writing, emails, meetings, almost 2pm yikes, grab lunch and continue working, [...]

Does Anyone Really Care? Does It Matter?
I started this blog this past March and got off to a very slowwwww start… one post in March, one in April, several in May, and up to speed in June. Okay, so I’m not a race car and didn’t hit 90mph in 10 seconds. As a female entrepreneur [...]

If I feel like I’m only 32, does that mean I can abuse my body in the way that I did when I really was 32? Probably not, or I might suddenly feel a lot older. You’ve seen people who look 60 when they’re only 50? I feel bad for them because it seems unnecessary [...]

On the plane home from L.A., so lots of time to ponder. Had business meetings last Thursday, and another meeting scheduled for this morning (now yesterday) with Jackie Warner (but unfortunately, she cancelled due to illness). But the real impetus for this trip was to celebrate my middle sister’s 40th birthday: a girls’ weekend at [...]

Man, this is the most turbulence I’ve ever experienced at a high altitude. In fact, the screen gets blurry as I type, and the flight attendants won’t get up to attend to a passenger who rang his call button because it is just soooo bumpy. A couple of minutes is one thing, but this has [...]

Before I tell you this story, let me draw you a picture of the Zoe Foods Corporate Headquarters… small New England town just outside Boston, 1500 square feet, shared space with a hedge fun manager, 3rd floor walk-up between Doris’ dress shop (great seamstress) and another shop, wood floors that tilt in all directions and [...]

Have a special notebook, keep it small in size. I’ve found if it’s a permanent cover with changeable pads of paper, I stick with the process more. My notebook is the backup hard drive for my brain. I take notes in it whether in a meeting or when I hear an idea that I want [...]

If you build it they will come, role models, business, family, ADD, exercise, too much sugar, school, summer activities, too much to do, too many plans scheduled, down-time, friends, family, filing business expenses, bills, unpacking, color of the kitchen walls, septic system, radon in the basement, sales, meetings today… ADD. Sitting on a plane on [...]

Since we just moved to a new house, we received a terrific house-warming gift (not including the very delicious homemade cupcakes from a neighbor, and my husband thought no one does that anymore) – but a deck of cards of questions appropriate for the whole family called Table Topics. To follow on to my blog [...]

If any of you have read the book, The Secret, you’ll know what I’m talking about. I don’t want to get all “new agey” on you, but, I really think there’s something there. We attract what we believe and what we want. So I believe there’s truth in the old adage, “be careful what you [...]
