I have this habit of writing things and forgetting I wrote them. This morning, I picked up the journal that sits at my bedside table and started flipping through the pages. My first reaction was, I wrote that? When did I write that? I’m always impressed by my stream-of-consciousness writing… it’s full of insight. The [...]

how do you define success?
At 35, I think I’ve finally earned the right to call myself a “grown-up.” At least it’s taken me this long to feel like one. And there are days I still have my doubts. I spent my 20′s trying to figure out what success really meant to me… how it looked, how it felt, what [...]
tonight I’m gonna party like it’s…
I’m playing the Prince song in my head… but two-oo thousand nine doesn’t have the same ring to it. It’s hard to believe 10 years ago, we were anticipating the New Millenium. Here’s a photo of my then-fiance, now-hubby just after midnight. We were both working at the CBS station here in Charleston. He was running [...]
i still wear MAC
Recently I hosted the Charleston Holiday Parade for our local cable station, Comcast C2. It’s something I’ve done for the past four years and I really enjoy it. This year, as I dig deeper into my writing about a major life change that resulted in leaving the TV business… I’ve become well aware of the [...]
secret side revealed
Today, I’m honored to be featured over at The Sassy Steel Magnolia. My assignment: talk about a time when one of my secret sides revealed itself… how it happened and how I came to terms with it. Last week, I declared my commitment to writing my story. Today, I take you on the road, to the time [...]
matters of the heart
Many of the themes in my writing are inspired by a major life transition. If you follow this blog or know me personally, you know I used to work full-time in television news. I worked my way through the ranks: college degree in journalism, intern, producer, reporter and anchor. I did what most “successful” people [...]
watershed
Thought I knew my mind like the back of my hand. The gold and the rainbow, but nothing panned out as I planned. These are the opening lyrics to Watershed, one of my favorite songs by the Indigo Girls. Watershed talks about what happens when we find ourselves at the proverbial fork in the road. [...]
Should I Stay OR Should I Go?
I’m a big fan of taking leaps of faith. Give me a ledge and you might have to tackle me to keep me from swan diving off the side. (Okay, I’m really holding my nose with a huge inner tube around my waist… but I’m still gonna jump.) I give talks designed to inspire women [...]
Moving Forward: Feeling the Fear and Doing It Anyway.
I consider it a real gift when I have the opportunity to make meaningful connections with other women. I draw wisdom and inspiration from their journeys, and I often find a piece of myself in their personal stories. Recently, I had the opportunity to emcee the 14th Annual Administrative Professionals Day Conference, hosted by Trident [...]
