My most recent position isn't stated accurately, but the rest of it

looks good. Presently, we're being considered as estate managers for a

multi million dollar estate on the coast of Maine. There, I will do

some serious writing.

study the history and culture of the Montagnards, in order to preserve

their memories for the future. It is called the Gerald Hickey

Scholarship. He lives in Chicago, and continues to write… Continue

It's an Honor to Be Nominated

I have a huge favor to ask of all my friends here who read me, so stick with me for a bit.

Associated Content is a site that most of you know I write for. I've been with them for about a year 1/2, and though there's those who wonder why I write for them (and I've wondered myself sometimes), there's something about the site that keeps me coming back.

Until the last two weeks, I wondered what it was that brought me back there over and over again. Is it because I've earned 2k… Continue

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Wishing everyone a blessed and wonderful Christmas! Make time for family and remember the reason for the season.

My Christmas holiday kicked off last night with Trans Siberian Orchestra in concert! We were on the 11th row and allowed cameras - I tool over 100 photos! (And posted 20+ of them on my Deviant Art site.)

Nelson Pahl's Bee Balms and Burgundy Review by J. Kaye Oldner

Laura West dubs Nelson Pahl as  “America's Next Great Writer”. She goes on to say "Every once in a while a writer comes along that demands we take notice; one that avails just the right meter, tempo, and rhythm; one that can engulf us in a story and keep us glued throughout 200 pages; one that offers a style sure to be emulated by his aspiring peers, both of his generation and generations to come. Nelson Pahl is just that writer.”   After reading Bee Balms & Burgundy, I agree. This author… Continue

How to Hire Some Help (a Virtual Assistant) and Give Yourself a Raise

Note: Since we're headed for a new year (and I'm headed out on vacation), many of my clients are making their 2008 plans for their businesses. One of the most

important strategies is realizing that you can't do it all yourself, but you

line. I'm running this very popular article again to help you make that

decision..:)…

Poem.

THE HUNTER OF --UTTERANCE—OF DESTRUCTION

HE’S THE HUNTER OF UTTERANCE OF DESTRUCTION

HE SLEEPS WHEN I’M AWAKE

I LONG TO HEAR HIM WHISPER

TO GIVE MY EARS A BREAK

HIS TONGUE IS A LOADED GUN

ITS BARREL AS COLD AS ICE

AND LATE AT NIGHT WHEN I AM SLEEPING

HIS BULLETS STRIKE ME TWICE

HIS THROAT IS STUCK WITH RESIN

AS HE PULLS BACK ON HIS BOW

HE LISTENS FOR A HEARTBEAT

A SOUND… Continue

Christmas gatherings, where do they go wrong?

Some are wonderful events with love floating in the air. Others are stuffy with tension. We all have those relatives that make the difference - some cranky, others crass, crude, and yet some cool with kind comments. And how about those with crafty loaded with crazy ideas?…
