Heavens! What's he saying?

Okay, I love, love my job as an over-the-phone Spanish interpreter. But sometimes I wish I’d have someone to turn to and ask, "What’s he saying?"

Yes, it happens. For example, I’ll be interpreting along without much difficulty, when suddenly, I hear a phrase that makes my brain screech to a halt.

For instance: "I find the proof evident, and the presumption great that you…

How to Write a Interesting Biography

Biographies are always a fascinating read. Our curiosity about famous people means we are intrigued to see whether the real person behind the famous persona is exactly like the image portrayed, or whether there is some chink in their armor, some skeleton in the cupboard, or some childhood tragedy that has made them how they…

Whatever you do, think again!

The day has arrived! Actually the day has been brought to pass. Whatever is worthwhile and worth waiting for doesn’t just come about, action helps it arrive. The first adult book given through me is in my hands. This time last year I was in the midst of some crazy nonsense. After a brief stint of upheaval I found a settling place.



Sometime last December, due to multiple factors and influences, I decided to dedicate 2007 and my resources to doing what I’ve… Continue

Do You Want To or Do You Have To?

Micah 6:8 NKJV

He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God?

Ecclesiastes 12:13 NKJV

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.

The Christian life is about choices. It's also about relationships as shown in…

As the rejection letters continue rolling in, I am amazed that they do not upset me, discourage me, or change His will. When I receive these kind form letters, I simply sit down at my computer, open up my file, and type the date it was rejected by the publisher or agent--almost methodically! My husband (bless his heart) always is sure to tell me when one of my SASE arrives in the mail -- at first he did this with enthusiasm (only b/c he didn't realize that the SASE coming back in the mail… Continue

Another Lake Ontario Shipwreck Located

Clearing up the confusion...

Someone sent me this brief scenario:

"During our lunch break one day in college, a friend of mine sneezed.

"In my culture, if you sneeze once, that means someone is missing you," my Chinese friend Lin told her. "If you sneeze twice, someone's saying nasty things about you behind your back. And if you sneeze three times, someone is speaking kindly about…

How to Use Your Website to Disqualify Your Prospects

How many hours have you spent this week with prospective clients who are great at draining your time and energy but can't seem to find the money or desire to hire you? I've had my weeks when the number is larger than I'd like to admit. Consequently, several years ago I implemented one strategy that has been my secret weapon in my client cultivation process -- I use my website to disqualify as many prospects as I can.



You may be saying, "What kind of…

Bright Shiny Object Syndrome

One of the great joys (and biggest curses) of being self-employed is the ability to consider other opportunities as they come you way and ascertain how well they might work in your business. However, many entrepreneurs (myself included) love the idea creation/development stage but hate the follow-through, as we've already been distracted by the next opportunity or a new idea. I refer to this as the Bright Shiny Object…
