Play by Your Rules: Tips to Living True to Yourself | May 21, 2012

Play by Your Rules: Tips to Living True to Yourself

Kathie Truitt, author of The Hillbilly Debutante Café, one day found herself jobless and homeless, a paradoxical opportunity to completely turn her life around; a second chance. Kathie says, “I got rid of the socialite sweater sets, the business suits and pumps, which were not me, and went to what is me – vintage dresses and cowboy boots… I surround myself with the things I like; I have a country-style house, I drive a pickup, and, once a month, I take a ride out to one of the places featured in Southern Living magazine.”

You don’t have to have a lot of … Read More »

Does Your Relationship Have Passion, Play and Productivity? | April 16, 2012

Does Your Relationship Have Passion, Play and Productivity?

Did you know that on average people who are unhappy in their romantic relationship have been so for about 7 years before they seek help? And let me tell you 7 years of misery and disappointment take a terrible toll on what I call the ‘emoplasticity’ or the emotional flexibility and bandwidth of a relationship.

My guess is that right about now you are wondering why a couple would wait so long before they seek help. Well, couples often ‘beat themselves up’ when things go wrong making statements like, “we should be able to repair this ourselves”, or “what if there … Read More »

My Passion For Wine | December 1, 2009

My Passion For Wine

My Passion For Wine

An Average American Entrepreneur’s Wine Manifesto

By Mick Harrison

I was brought up in the small Midwestern town of Coffeyville, Kansas.  It is an interesting town that really has nothing to do with the dark inky beverage of the same name.  My parents rarely drank wine.  They preferred drinks like whisky sour, Tom Collins and liquors you mix with soft drinks.  I never really enjoyed these.  If I want my drink to taste like cola, I’ll just have a cola.  I like beer okay, but it has never quenched my thirst.  I could … Read More »

Cheer and Hope Spread Through Happy First | November 16, 2009

Cheer and Hope Spread Through Happy First

Long before it was a company, “Happy First” was a simple greeting conceived by a woman named Debbie Vinyard. It was her way of celebrating: the first day of every month, the first big milestones in life, the first moments of living each day. As a Hodgkin’s Disease survivor, she relied on happiness as both ally and antidote throughout her fight against cancer.

“I have always loved fashion,” says Debbie Vinyard, owner of Happy First boutique. “I used to spend hours doodling and drawing clothes. I grew up mostly in Dallas (originally from New York). I had a neighbor who had a … Read More »

Unleashing the Human Spirit with Rich Largman | October 15, 2009

Unleashing the Human Spirit with Rich Largman

I had the opportunity about a year ago to work with a fabulous business coach. Rich Largman immediately had me focusing on my thoughts and bringing my dreams into reality. As important as it is to have an accountant and an administrative assistant,  a business coach, in my opinion, is just as important.  The guidance is so essential to an entrepreneur when our hands are dabbling in all parts of the business process.  Like the old saying goes “we wear many hats”, and sometimes we need to remove those hats to get back to the essence of our business and … Read More »

Challenging The Expected | May 4, 2009

Life is full of choices. I am making a choice right now. I am writing. When I read this, it is almost comical in it’s simplicity.
