{Fearless Friday} What’s Your Back-Up Plan?

Imagine, if you will, that you are sitting at your desk at work (or wherever you are when you're at your place of employment). You're working hard on a project, tying up some loose ends because it is almost the end of the day and you are ready to go home, and relax and not worry about work for a couple hours. Then your boss pokes her head around the corner and asks you to come to her … [Continue reading...]

7 Places To Find A Work-From-Home Job

I've written about my life as a work-at-home mom and I just want to say - I hope I didn't scare you off. Yes, it takes a lot more organization and patience and drive to continue to do this day in and day out.

The Good, Bad and The Ugly Of The Work-At-Home Mom Life

I'm coming up on the eight-month mark of self-employment and have had some time to reflect on how far I've come since last December, when I was shaking in my boots with nothing but two months' pay, hope and prayer. A lot of people ask me what I do in my "real life" aka what I do outside the blog and it's a lot: I'm a freelance writer/blogger, meaning I write articles for other sites and … [Continue reading...]

{Fearless Friday} What’s Holding You Back?

Sometimes in life we finally get a chance to get our heads above water and we realize there's something we don't like about our life. Maybe it's our job. Maybe it's the fact that we can't seem to go three days without an argument with our man. Maybe it's the fact that the kids are always fussing, or money is always tight. We want something to change but we don't know how to start. So we … [Continue reading...]

{Make It Happen} Your Success Starts With You

When my daughter was about five or six months old, I marveled at how fast she was growing up, and how often I was busy with work and school and other stuff that always seemed to creep up. I wanted to put her first in my life, but I also had bills to pay. I landed a decent internship that morphed into a full-time job and I snatched it with both hands. The salary was nothing to sneeze at and - … [Continue reading...]

#1 Key To Success: Do Things That Scare You

Public speaking terrifies me. I'm sure I'm not alone in this. Although I'm getting better, I'm generally shaking about five minutes before and five minutes into a presentation. I feel hot and flushed and incredibly nervous. Yet, every time someone approaches me about speaking at their event, or when I see an event that I'd like to speak at, I don't hesitate to say yes or send in a workshop … [Continue reading...]
