Analyzing Your Dreams

I wanted to get to this post before it became time to take Trotter out for his walk. I tossed and turned all night, thinking about deadlines, ideas, commitments for both The Pet Set, Family and Blog Fabulous. (I TOATLLY forgot that this Sunday is Easter, that’s how busy I’ve been.)
It dawned on me that […]

Food In Your Teeth

Perhaps you’ve sensed that before my life as “stay-at-home Dog mom” and owner of my company, I spent most of my career in corporate America. We’ve all experienced this during our working lifetime…that one monumental moment that initially humiliates you and then subsequently haunts you for the rest of your life.
At my last position, I […]

Who Do You Think You Are?

Have you ever stopped to think about how many different versions of yourself the world sees everyday? The you on the interview, the you as the boss, mom, wife, girlfriend, daughter, and of course the you in your car singing to Madonna.
I often wonder who is our “authentic” self? The real you. The you who […]

How Do You Stay Focused?

I think it’s been discussed here on occasion–how working from home can sometimes feel like you’re in a messy black hole; thoughts go through your head about how neat and structured corporate life is compared to this. This is what my to do list looks like today:

Bank
Blog Fabulous
Landscaper
Photo prints
Phone company
Printer
The Pet Set marketing
Dishes|Dinner

I called the […]

Who Washes The Pants In Your Family?

I will start by acknowledging that my hubby does much of the laundry on the weekends. However, it may very well be my imagination, but since I started working from home to manage my business, The Pet Set , I get the distinct feeling that there has been a reversal of roles without my knowledge. […]

Whose Job Would You Want For A Day?

Ok…I told myself I wouldn’t post this thought until I knew the answer. I was thinking about all of those reality shows that focus on trading — Wife Swap, Trading Spaces, etc.
It made me ask this question to my self, “if I could trade jobs with anyone, for one day, who would it be?” I […]

Mind The Gap

I’m going to try to illustrate that there are times in every relationship, during which small gaps occur: gaps in expectations, gaps in promises, responsibilities, trust and perhaps a gap in adoration. It is also intended to demonstrate that sometimes we have to put our ambitions aside for the sake of our partners.
“Mind The Gap”, […]

Respecting Your Colleagues

Embarrassingly, it is becoming all too apparent that I’m a child of the TV generation. Most network shows are immensely idiotic to me, (except reruns of Sex and The City) but I do have some favorites or at least I’m intrigued with certain shows. (Aforementioned The Office).
NBC’s The Apprentice, is annoying, yet intriguing. […]

Applause for Condi

Did anyone happen to catch yesterday’s news conference on Iraq, held by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw?
At one point during this rather long and dry broadcast, Mr. Straw, commenting on the future leadership of Iraq, said: “We do have, I think, a right to say that we’ve got to […]

Learning to Succeed

I have always been fascinated with the concept of leadership in American corporate culture. Professionally, it as been an aspiration of mine. Is leadership one of those characteristics that you are either born with or you are not? How does one become a leader? Is leadership about a person’s ability to inspire, display strength, […]
