Read MoreAn Independent Woman
Two-hundred thirty-four years ago today, 56 white men signed the Declaration of Independence. Today, women are dominating the business world, gaining political clout and breaking the traditional stereotypes of submissive, wife, mother and homemaker. The urban dictionary defines an independent woman as ” a woman who pays her own bills, buys her own things, and DOES NOT allow a man to affect her stability or self-confidence. She supports her self on her own entirely and is proud to be able to do so.” So instead of honoring the old, dead, white guys I opted to honor a few ladies, who at least for me, exemplify the spirit of an independent woman. 1.

Read More10 Things I’m Thankful For
Although, I’m non-traditional in my Thanksgiving feast and opt for wine and pizza over turkey and mashed potatoes, my food choices don’t translate to the heart of the day–giving thanks. So in the spirit of the day, I give thanks for: 1. Twitter - This simple tool has provided me with a world of new friends, which I enjoy hanging out with both online and in person. Together we share information, drink wine and rant about what ever bugs us. 2. College Basketball - The dreary days of February and March are much more bearable with the thrills of the ACC basketball and March Madness. 3. Airplanes – Despite all the crazy added fees, airplanes open me to the world of travel, for which I could never live without. 4. Clean Air- Having visited...
