Words…Gotta Love ‘Em! 0

For women who enjoy words (and most I know DO!)…
…the Washington Post’s Mensa Invitational once again invited readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are the wonderfully witty winners:
1.Cashtration(n.): The act of buying a house, [...]

The Newest Publication for Funeral Service: MBJ 0

The Memorial Business Journal, that is. It’s a weekly resource for funeral directors, cemeterians and cremationists. The editor is Edward J. Defort, who used to be one of “my” editors at Kates-Boylston when I had the honor of writing for their publications. I know the quality of his work firsthand, and that’s why I’m pleased [...]

Thankfulness 1

Here it is Monday, of Thanksgiving week here in the U.S. Naturally, I want to wish you all a wonderful holiday spent with family and friends – but I want to do more than that – I want to share something personal: one reason for my thankfulness this year.
Last winter, I was motivated to become [...]

Why the Lotus? 0

Many women I’ve spoken with have asked me about the AWFD logo: “Is it a lotus flower?”…followed quickly by that one word question we hear from our children as they grow…”Why?”
Here is my most elaborate answer:
The lotus flower has a unique characteristic in that it blooms and sheds its seeds at the same time. In [...]

Meditation with Sally Taylor – Postponed 0

I’ve made an administrative decision, based on hard, cold fact: the week before Thanksgiving is not a good week to expect people to attend any scheduled phone conference. I spoke with Sally, and she agreed; we’ve decided to bring the meditation presentation to you in January – meaning there will be two teleseminars that month [...]

AWFDConnections Newsletter for November – Where is it? 0

Just had to ask that question on your behalf! I feel like a detective in one of the BBC mysteries I love to watch (is there anyone finer than Miss Marple?!)
The November newsletter will be combined with December’s issue, only for expediency. There’s so much information to include – I just don’t want to “rush” [...]

Back from FAMIC, and Wonderful Austin 0

I’ve got to tell you, Austin is a great city! I was so impressed by what I was able to see during my stay there last week. We were “smack downtown,” next to the convention center – which is slated to be the venue for the NFDA convention in 2013. Beautiful!
Thanks so much to the [...]
