Happy ‘World Blogstress Day’!

Posted on Aug 31, 2011 | 16 comments

As you may know, I’m one of the founders of The Blogstress Network. It began when three neighbors, Lee Romano Sequiera, Doreen Naughton Creede and I met and discovered we all had blogs. The conversation that evening was amazing and we couldn’t wait to get together again. Finally someone to talk to that understood SEO and Followers and Stats… without looking at you like a deer in headlights. Blogstress Network logo, our motto is: Leave Your Mark on the World! The move from that first meeting to launching a new...

Mother Nature’s Busy Week

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 | 13 comments

There used to be a commercial with a tag line, “It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature!” Apparently Mother Nature, or as I refer to her… Big Mama, likes to fool us, however. Photo: Sodahead.com It has been quite a week here on the east coast. Our first serious earthquake since 1875 kicked things off last Tuesday. I was doing what I’m doing now… writing a blog post… and felt a vibration. The house sometimes shimmies a bit when the washer goes into spin cycle. Then I realized I wasn’t doing...

This is a very exciting day here at Zero to 60 and beyond! It’s my day to be the featured blogger on SITs! Welcome all SITstah’s! I suppose I’ve always been a risk taker. Even I look back at some of the things I did as a child and shake my head at how risky they were. Back then I just trusted my gut… oblivious to risk. As an adult that trait has served me well.

This post is a love letter to my dear friend and mentor James F. Penland… This was Jim at our Wedding Renewal in 2002… The invitation said Beach Formal… he never disappointed! Dear Jim, I could never thank you enough for the love and kindness you showed me during our 12 years of friendship. You gave me so much more than I could ever possibly have repaid you, but then there are countless others who would say the same thing. I will never forget the day I happened upon the store front on Asbury Avenue with...

Heere’s Daddy, the end

Posted on Aug 13, 2011 | 24 comments

Warning! This is the longest post I’ve ever written and I apologize in advance for that (especially to Doreen . I really didn’t want to drag this out any longer, so felt it was better to finish the Daddy Chronicles (as opposed to the Duffy Chronicles which is a much nicer story) and move on. FYI… As a reward for hanging with me through all this I’ve got a little promo going on to reach 100 ‘likes’ on my facebook page. If you’re the 100th you’ll have a choice between two of my...
