Excuse My French, But I Gotta Get Shit Done

Please excuse me while I continue to work my little tooshie off all day and (most of the) night until the end of time this audit….which will hopefully (better be) be next Wednesday (fingers crossed!). Besides the fact that my life is a total MESS right now and that I’m not really able to do much of anything outside of work, I have to admit that I actually don’t hate…

Behind The Scenes: Packing Up

Anyway, my lease for the house I’ve been living in for the past year actually ended in July. So I’ve been in limbo for the past 16 days, but I finally decided to bite the…

Knowledge is Power

You win or lose by the things you chose. And it’s no secret that the more you know, the better you position yourself to make smarter and better decisions.

BLOGGING: ON GETTING DOWN IN THE DETAILS

Honesty is the best policy....right? So full disclosure here. I've been a little down in the details lately. And just as positive energy motivates and encourages, negative energy unfortunately has double the power to do just the opposite--discourage and impede. By no means do I intend to complain or be unappreciative, but sometimes it's just simply difficult to continue to focus on the positives. I know, I know...I sound like a cynical negative Nancy, but hey, we all have the right to get a little down every now and again, right?! And these thoughts/feelings are definitely having an effect on my creative juices and desire to put together a perfectly pretty and positive blog post as per usual. I hope you can understand and that you don't hold it against me or BrightonTheDay.
