“E” is for Education
I try not to get too political because if I climb up on my soapbox about issues I’m passionate about, it’ll take more than a ladder to get me down. You know that beanstalk that Jack had to climb to get to the Giant? Yeah … that’s nothing. But I have to talk about the importance of education and how early it starts. Education starts in the womb. We weren’t ones that put headphones on my belly and played tapes of Stephen Hawking, or something like that for either of my kids. However – with Danielle, we did play classical music in her room at all hours of the day and night. As a result – she’s got a great math capacity. She d

You see, my first pregnancy was marked with lots of trips to the hospital because no one ever had morning sickness as bad as I had morning sickness. I lost 42 lbs during the course of the pregnancy.

“C” is for Customer Service
When I started writing this particular blog post, it was in a completely different direction from what it is now. However, based on events this morning, I am compelled to change direction completely. This post started out about confidence, and who knows – I might talk about confidence later on. I’ll just have to see where my thoughts take me in the next few minutes. For now, I’m compelled to talk about customer service. For three days we’ve had no phone service here. I work out of my home, so phone service is rather crucial to keep in contact with my clients.
