empowering women hour by hour
For the last two years, several friends of mine (who I would lovingly call my “sisters”) have joined me for a back to school tradition–Back to School Brunch. Many of them bring a breakfast or brunch food to share, and we all enjoy talking about our mornings taking our kiddos to school. We offer support [...]
I have a friend who has been in the hospital for more than a month. We met a few months ago and have become friends quickly. Several days a week, I travel to the hospital to visit. I’m not consistent about the time of day, so I have met many nurses who have cared for [...]
I’m beginning to do a whole bunch of things that I have never done before. Venturing into unfamiliar territory can be a little scary and overwhelming…not to mention frustrating when things don’t go according to plan. Upon discussing my lack of experience in a certain area of grownup-hood with an individual much more [...]
Mormor was unable to write her blog Friday, so she is our guest blogger today.
Last week, my husband and I stopped for breakfast at Cracker Barrel. On the way out, I saw a t-shirt that said “Chocolate is the answer, it doesn’t matter what the question is!” This caught my attention because I [...]
We have a friend who said that our family is experiencing the hardest time in our lives. I know others who have as great challenges as we have and some who are experiencing greater challenges right now. We reached the point, long ago, when I thought we had all that we could bear. Still things [...]

It is the little things in life that help us along [...]
There is a song that says “that’s what friends are for” and I have been thinking a lot lately about the importance of friends in our lives. We have social networks like Facebook (by the way the mpowergen.com has 200-fans Hurray!) to help keep us connected and to open the door to re-connecting with friends [...]
Oh well… (I borrowed this phrase from a very dear friend of mine), I am posting my blog contribution a day late again. Our family has been under siege, as of late, and I promise, promise, promise that after we get through this, things will get better (this phrase is for my sister) and [...]
This week has been one of the most difficult weeks of my life. I made a major decision, and by acting on it, made a major change. Some of the ramifications of that decision have been extremely difficult to deal with.
And what I have discovered through all of this is that I have an amazing [...]
We are moving to a new office. That is always a fun thing to do! We go through things, deciding which things to take and which to discard, which to store, which to destroy, which to send to the client, which to have the client come to get. There is more fun in getting phones [...]
