I arrived at the address and honked the horn. After waiting a few minutes I honked again. Since this was going to be my last ride of my shift I thought about just driving away, but instead I put the car in park and walked up to the door and knocked.. ‘Just a minute’, answered a frail, elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor. Read more »

There’s a Great Big Beautiful World Out Here

If you’ve been keeping up with meandmycrazylife for more than… well… a couple of days, you’ve probably picked up on the fact that I’m forever on an airplane. Lots of airport check-ins, right?

I’m either visiting my awesome family, traveling with family, or traveling for business, jetting around North America to help our amazing clients rock out their businesses and events. I’m so glad I’ve built a business that I can take with me and a support team full of rock stars to run the show while I’m away.

And although I adore my family and love my work, sometimes a girl’s just gotta get away from it all. I’ve always made time for travel, but I’m sure any business owner out there will agree with me that it can be really difficult to truly break free, let things go, and take a real break.

Over the past year, I’ve enjoyed some fantastic trips with my fiance’ Mark. We whisked ourselves away to St. Kitts, The Dominican Republic, Aruba, and to our beach house in Florida. There’s something to be said for unplugging for a while and surrounding yourself in beauty. It’s one thing that helps us unwind, re-juice, sit back, and appreciate the long hours of work we dedicate to our careers. Read more »

Don’t wait. Do it now.

February 2, 2012

Hey ya’ll. I hope you’re doing well. All is good down South. 2012 has been great so far! Recently – my grams was diagnosed with cancer and she’s been through a whole lot these last few months. It’s super tough seeing her have to deal with doctors, rough hospital stays, and lots of treatments… but [...]

What I learned in 2011…

December 30, 2011

In Business: Always focus on growing a BETTER business… not necessarily a bigger one. Hire when you’re not in a hurry. Take your time on each person you interview. And look for five major qualities: 1-Personality, 2-Organization, 3-Proactive approach, 4-Plays well with others, 5-Has great ideas and is ready to use them. When you hire [...]

Happy Holidays! PLEASE don’t drink and drive…

December 20, 2011

Hey ya’ll! Hope you’re doing well and gearing up for the holidays! I know I am. Just wanted to check in quick and be sure you’re playing it safe during the holidays. Last weekend we were celebrating the holidays with Mark’s kids – and around midnight a drunk driver crashed into our parked car in [...]

Slowing the train down from time to time…

November 8, 2011

Hey all. I hope you have been keeping busy, enjoying life, and preparing for the holidays. I know I have. For the longest time – I was afraid to slow down. Thinking it might be a bad thing… or a ball might drop. That totally freaks me out. But I realized that every once in [...]

It’s all about the team…

October 27, 2011

I’ve been part of several teams in the past. None of them felt quite right. The culture was always off, not everyone was totally in it, or people were really hating having to go to work every day. It was corporate – what do you expect, right?! At the beginning of October we had our [...]

Dust off your Future…

July 26, 2011

Almost everyone has one… living under their bed or maybe in a closest. It’s a box. But not just any box. I call it my future box. Basically everything I want to see and do in my lifetime. Have you ever watched the movie – Eat, Pray, Love – or maybe you read the book? [...]

I said YES!

June 6, 2011

A couple of months ago I wrote to you about my story of finding love after struggling with it for years. I mentioned how life was definitely interesting to say the least.  And I talked about how everything truly happens for a reason. You might not totally understand, perhaps you fight it… but eventually it [...]

Easy? Yeah… right.

April 19, 2011

I had a conversation today with a potential client and she was asking me about the success of my business – Solamar. Questions like “how did you do it?”, “how long did it take?”, “how old are you anyway?”… I hear these questions pretty often but she did ask one question that threw me for [...]

Sometimes You Just Need A little Break

March 9, 2011

I can’t believe I’m going  to say this because most of you know that I’m a techie + electronics freak… but I’m going to say it anyway. Sometimes we all need a little break from electronics. Most of the time you’ll see me with my iPhone in hand. Along with an iPad, Kindle, laptop, iPod… [...]
