As a result, and as a business owner, I LOVE networking events and social mixers. Most of the people who attend are in business for themselves, [...]

I’m a social butterfly. One of those people who loves any sort of opportunity to chat with new people, experience exciting new things, see new sights. Very socially oriented.
So last night, before joining a group of Canadians and Brits at the Hudson in West Hollywood to watch the Lakers’ game, I popped over to my local polling station and did my due diligence, voting in the primary. Because I’m a Democrat, there wasn’t too much to vote for, but what the heck…I worked [...]
I’ve gotten so many emails wanting to know if I’m sleeping better. Yes. I had my cocoa, had a good night’s sleep and am (almost) irritatingly enthusiastic once again. (OK…well…still just a tidge of an edge, but that’s wearing off.) The funny thing is that when I’m feeling a bit boxed in by too [...]
Say all you want about the power of government to jumpstart (or not) the economy in these unusual times, but from where I sit, at this moment in my life, the big banks are major culprits in keeping the economy hostage. As usual, my own experience informs my opinion, so let me bring you [...]
There are two aspects to the LA Auto Show that have captured my attention this year. The first is the innovation that is emerging in sustainable energy (and I’ll have a post just on the green cars I enjoyed test driving.) The second is the continual shakeup in the auto industy — this time at GM.
By now, everyone [...] When I was a kid, it was considered a very bad practice to incur any kind of credit. If you couldn’t pay, you couldn’t buy. Even when I was in university, there were no credit card companies vying for our business…if you didn’t have the money, you were out of luck. We scoured second [...]
Right now, people who run their own businesses are very, very busy. They are either experiencing a little surge because so many of their competitors have gone belly-up (think about 10 printing companies going down…the one that is left will possibly have more business than it can handle), or they are working very hard [...]
By now, the news of Republican Senator Jim DeMint’s comments to the GOP that defeating healthcare reform would “break” Obama is old news. That conference call comment struck such a sad, sad chord in my heart. The polarization of politics has absolutley trumped the welfare of the American people. Isn’t this country supposed to be [...]
It is amazing what one can do without. After decades of conspicuous consumption, most of us are cutting back even further than we ever thought we’d have to. When you are without a job, it isn’t a question of just becoming more budget-conscious, but in this economy, where every day even MORE jobs are [...]
Some days I feel like I’m a character in a 1945 black and white depression story, where there are food bank lineups, girls with holes in their socks and boys with holes in the toes of their shoes. Characters meet on the streets and rather than greeting each other with the typical LA style, [...]
