Beating the Holiday Bustle
I don’t know about you ladies, but I’ve been super busy lately. Between establishing plans for 2015, wrapping up projects and writing year-end reports, preparing for the holidays and festive social engagements, I’ve arrived at Dec. 15 and I have no idea how.

Staying Grounded through the Busy Times
I’ll admit, I’ve really slacked off in the past month. I started this blog with a list of great ideas and an editorial calendar carefully plotted. But between the surge in client activity for the impending holidays, other events and holidays (like Halloween & my birthday) and just life in general, writing kind of fell off the stove completely. Being busy is both a blessing and a curse! My birthday is the inspiration behind this post. Today’s my 25th birthday and, as strange as it may be, I’ve been having a bit of a hard time with it. Most people, if not all, make life plans and goals. For me, many…
