I appreciate how effective IM is for instantly sending and receiving information, but sometimes shouldn’t we just talk? On IM it’s a safe bet we are in a hurry and we tend to leave out crucial words that can make or break our meaning. We can come off as angry, which can offend our buddy.
So let’s either slow down and write with meaning or logoff and pick up the phone. Have some courtesy!

I work with some amazing experts, authors, philanthropists and just great human beings, whom I help to blog. They have a great deal to offer the world with tips and expertise, yet their time is so filled running their businesses, that I support them by suggesting blog topics and editing them. Sometimes, I even ghost write a blog entry. I don’t mind, I love writing and I know blogging is good for their careers.
But then the day ends, I am exhausted and have no creative juice left to blog here. My dream, if you recall, is to blog daily in a gorgeous locale. I was inspired today by reading one of my many newsletters, to blog more. I read about a woman who has been writing for a living since her twenties and is working on her 2nd book. Her name is Michelle Goodman (and she blogs too.) I ordered her first book “The Anti 9 to 5 Guide” today, which I can’t wait to read. I just know I’ll be nodding along.
So with not much to say I have successfully blogged today. My goal will be 3 times a week. I cannot promise they’ll be exciting or life changing, but I will try to focus on being your own boss, my life on the ledge. It may just be about the sushi I eat for dinner tonight at Mr. Kim’s. Trust me, it’s worth writing about!
