Business Building – Do as I say…

May 5, 2021
Because I fail to take my own advice. Going into the new program launch, I had failed to make enough time. I needed time to test the platform, ramp up promotions, field customer service questions, and prepare the student materials. It was really easy to just show up to the promo webinar, thinking...

    April 27, 2021
    "Be prepared to get punched in the face 150 times a day because that's what's about to happen." - Troy Dean, WP Elevation   On April 1st, 2021 I failed hard. I want to help you benefit from my failure and I want to help you by delivering a completely transparent reflection on my journey.&hel...

  • It’s the light
    April 24, 2021
    Day 1 of my 10 day break without Cornelius. I'm still in the throws of dealing with the medical billing issue. I bought ink cartridges for my printer so I can audit the claims made to me versus what was submitted to the insurance company. I think there are 6 or 7 claims that were…

  • Why do you take so long?
    April 17, 2021
    I try to meditate every morning so I can set a tone of calm for my day. I typically wake up with "busy mind syndrome," feeling overwhelmed with anxiety before the day truly starts. Today, I journeyed to my special place. Others refer this as a astral temple or something like that. I've heard stor...

  • Why- continued
    April 16, 2021
    Yesterday, I had a doctor's appointment. I really wanted to avoid this appointment given the situation with the medical billing department. Not only that but it was a 40 minute drive. I was in that room for all of 15 minute after and preceding a 40 minute drive and for something I had spoken to&h...

  • Why
    April 14, 2021
    I screamed. It was the end of the first hour and twenty minutes of phone calls. I even cried. Now, I'm not entirely sure that the situation warranted crying. I've been sick for the past two months, birth control conflicting with a mood stabilizer. I'd been a little more unpredictable than usual. ...

  • A time out post: “Why do you feel ashamed?”
    April 12, 2021
    I'm taking a time out to write candidly about my morning meeting. Typically when I write, I prefer to write something that I feel might be of value to someone else, whether amusing them with pretty words on a page (or screen) or by sharing a relational experience. But I'm just going to freestyle ...

  • The last train to Montauk
    April 3, 2021
    Never is an awfully long time. I spent a little over a year living out of a suitcase. I say suitcase because it sounds more romantic that way. In reality it was the same backpack and tote. Back and forth. Leaning against the tiled wall, I slid down, down, down. My body stopped at the…

    It started with a voice in my head, "Wake up." I thought it was someone behind me, or maybe in front of me, or maybe in the next room down the hallway. Until it said again, "Wake up." The voice sounded male, real, right there. But no one was there. I was perfectly in the…

  • Forget the funeral
    March 28, 2021
    I’ve missed the past few days of posting since I’ve been on the road. I’m about halfway through my 30 hour drive to my family in Ohio. I’m thankful that I’m at a point of my life and stability to be able to respond to emergencies. When we were living in New York, we couldn’t…
