Well, we do sort of look like Sonny and Cher! Thirty-four years ago today, my sweet hubby and I said, “I Do.” No it wasn’t your traditional wedding, we actually went to the court house and got married by the justice of the peace, a real Andy Taylor wedding. It was snowing that morning, when [...]
My husband says, I have been “running the roads” a lot lately. That’s a southern thing if you don’t understand that phrase. But he is correct. I have been going a lot of places in the last couple of weeks and according to my calendar, I’m not going to slow down until around Christmas. Now [...]
My work as a virtual assistant began in 2003 with a local nonprofit organization, East Tennessee Veteran’s Memorial. When I was hired, I was the first and only employee and I worked from my bedroom office. I set-up a database, marketing materials, assisted with a website and ran the local office right out of my [...]
How many signs have you seen lately for Fall Festivals? In my neck of the woods, they are around every corner. Especially around Halloween. There’s apple festivals, tomato festivals, water festivals, you name it, there’s probably a festival for it. I was blessed to be asked to coordinate our church’s Fall Festival and Trunk or [...]

That is an autoresponder I received from a friend of mine when I recently sent out my ezine Gifts. At first glance, I thought that was the funniest thing I had ever read. I thought, how clever she is. She has decided to retire early from her job and has left a comical message for [...]
My husband and I were in the grocery yesterday and ran into a former neighbor. As we were catching up on family happenings and neighborhood gossip, she asked me where I was working now. I told her I had my own business and that I provided administrative and management support to small businesses and entrepreneurs. [...]
After a wonderfully long weekend where I didn’t step foot into my home-office, I re-entered my virtual workplace this morning and visited several of my local hangouts. One is VAnetworking.com. We have an incredible forum where we can share ideas, ask any question without the fear of feeling stupid and on occasion, VENT! This morning [...]
As a virtual professional, I am very thankful that I can get up every morning and make the long trip down the hall to my office…and I don’t spend a dime in gas!! When I first started this business gas was a mere $2.50 per gallon, which was bad enough, but to think of the [...]
How many times have we said that? How do you pronounce that? While talking on the phone with clients, I am always taking notes to make sure I follow-up and keep track of the tasks I need to do for them. Many times they will communicate a word, that I am just not familiar with. [...]
