A paper for school. A paper that happened to be about me.

Difficult would be a kind word to use to describe the process of writing this paper. Sure, I…

  • http://danniespeaks.com/2010/06/16/on-the-move-again/ Moving is dreaded by just about everyone. I don’t think I know once person that enjoys it. Well, unless someone else does it all for you. Then maybe I could say, “YAY!”

    But yes, the title implies that I’m moving, and I am. Not a big distance about a rough…

So, believe me when I say I was not quite prepared to give the talk to my daughter. My daughter is…

I’m fine with that… winning one would be awesome, but it’s those little gifts that get me.

    I’ve definitely…

    So, what I would really like for Mother’s Day – more than a day alone – would be to win an iPad. Selfish,…

From learning to green their home, to teaching their family the three R’s (reduce, reuse, recycle), to possibly even beautifying by picking up litter from the side of a road.

    However you decide to share this…

    The break I’ve been on was great. I planned only 2 weeks, but 2 led into 3… and a few days… you know how it is. I could say that I missed the social networking that kept me chaotic busy, but I didn’t. Let me phrase…

Twitter, Facebook, blogging, CreateChatter TV, plus more, all down the drain as my 3Twenty5 Media partner goes on her voyage to get married. I’m unplugging myself and walking away.

    Hopefully this break will allow me to renew…
