The World Needs Different Kinds of Minds
There are many forms of inequality. One is to assume that one type of learning style or ability is better or more beneficial than another. I disagree. There is a purpose for every person on our planet, we need to determine what that purpose is rather than requiring they become something they’re not. This process [...]
All the Wrinkled Ladies: Equal Media Time
Growing up I’d hoped that society would catch onto the unrealistic stereotypes that media promotes through advertising. While managing retail boutiques in the 80′s I knew then that our size 12 to 16′s sold out a lot faster than our size 6 to 10′s. Most women didn’t look like the emaciated models that were on [...]
International Women’s Day Celebrates Past Present and Future
International Women’s Day celebrates the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future. Women have many achievements to be proud of. The equality we enjoy is the result of the work of women (and men) before us. And yet, even in North America, many of us experience the residual discrimination leftover from [...]

Every human being has a place and a purpose on this planet and yet there are those [...]

Tagging Yourself as a WAHM is Bad for Business
I just watched a guest video post by Scott Stratten on www.jessicaknows.com where Scott suggests Work At Home Mom’s should not advertise themselves as such. First, let me say, that I agree with everything Scott said. I operated my business while staying home with my kids, but rarely did my clients ever hear them. I [...]
Forget the Glass Ceiling, What About The Sticky Floor?
Over my life, there have been strides towards equality, and this past year has seen plentiful discussions of “breaking the glass ceiling” with Gov. Sarah Palin taking a run at the White House. Throughout her vice presidential campaign, I couldn’t help but wonder if a female Vice President would make any difference for the “average woman” [...]
