I went to a holiday party this weekend at a private home in Rancho Sante Fe, Ca. The gracious host was directing everyone to her laundry room to store their coats. I just had to snap a picture to share with all of you (with her permission of course and a little help from my friend, Vana White Monica Lucas, Owner of SpaMode who was dressed in white and looking like a snow princess 
).
On Christmas morning, I was the first one up so I turned on the Today show. They were covering the Origins of Christmas. Did you know that the Christmas bulb originated from apples? In olden days, people hung apples on pine trees to signify the Garden of Eden? You heard it here, quoted directly from the Today show. Christmas bulbs signify the original sin. I’m not really sure I wanted to know that. How about you?
As I sit here in my San Diego kitchen looking out the windows at the cloudy morning sky on this Christmas eve morning, I wonder about all of you. It’s quiet in my house as everyone else is still sleeping. I am drinking my first cup of coffee from my new favorite coffee mug. I’m very particular about coffee mugs. This one says ” I heart Harveys. seatbeltbags.com“. It’s white with red letters. But, what I love about it is the shape and the skinny handle. It’s tall and slender. I’m giving you details because today is all about the details.
If you’ve been following along, you know that my love affair with Twitter has been going on for a few months now. This past weekend, I had the great pleasure of meeting the author of The Twitter Revolution, Warren Whitlock…again. Not only did I meet Warren but I also had the honor of joining him at TwitCastRadio when he interviewed Adaptive Blue about Glue, a cool new tool that enhances your web browsing experience. Can you imagine what I asked when it came to my turn for an interview question? Of course, you’re right! I asked how the new tool could interface with twitter! You’ll also hear Mari Smith stepping in for a few seconds too. (You can hear our interview by clicking on the links above.)
Tracy Green just launched a new website, www.smartworkingmom.com. Her site is worth a look if you have a minute. This week, she emailed me and also left a comment on my blog. I’d like to share them both with you because I think you’ll relate to what she’s saying.
Email: “I applaude you! It was so refreshing to see a website that makes it okay for moms to work, and want to work and celebrates those who do! I’m emailing to ask your permission to list www.sixfiguremomsclub.com as a HOT LINK on my evolving website: www.smartworkingmom.com. I’m a full-time, plus working mom of two boys and enjoy having a career. My issue became that I was in complete control and successful at the office, but at home — forget it! I was out of my element.
