That's a great story and a great accomplishment too. Like you, we have 2 boys and then were surprised (blessed!) a few years later by a little girl. I can absolutely understand becoming a master at all kinds of things out of necessity. I'm glad you shared this so close to Mother's Day. I hope you had a great one! Wow Lucy!

Looking back, it has been 16 years afterall, I don't want to do it any differently. I chose to (sometimes, fought to) stay on the homefront, looking after my family. I had two boys to keep after and a husband, whose career was critical to the welfare of our family. I have at times, thought I could have been more of a financial contributor; yet I am satisfied with the knowledge I've gained ... I'm named myself SLAVGIRL2.0: phenom cooking, art, design, stained glass, cleaning (it's a skilll..), auto repair, appliance repair, chauffeur services extaordinaire, psychiatry, chemistry, budgeting... I could go on...Find a purpose, and life can be fun. For now. When I was a new mom, I felt a struggle between the easy way out, and the right way out.

]]> Comment on How to Write a Resume that Gets You Hired by Glen http://mysmartblog.com/motivation/how-to-write-a-resume/#comment-81 Glen Thu, 27 Oct 2011 18:17:38 +0000 http://mysmartblog.com/motivation/how-to-write-a-resume/#comment-81 This is good advice but in today's marketplace, far from a sure thing. Ironically, I have written hundreds of resumes for students and coworkers over the years and each one got a job with it. However, I hired a company to market my skills and talents and they wrote a resume for me with "action words" and statistics, yet after over 600 applications, I have received 4 interviews - two of which were in person. I have over 25 years of experience and am a dissertation short of a doctorate and have been unemployed now for over 15 months. Do you have any suggestions for me?

]]> Comment on Effective Social Media Marketing by Mikel Erdman http://mysmartblog.com/internet-marketing/effective-social-media-marketing/#comment-34 Mikel Erdman Thu, 09 Jun 2011 05:27:33 +0000 http://mysmartblog.com/?p=1267#comment-34 Hi Tony - I took a few minutes to review your websites and it looks like you have a lot of fun with your work! One thing I can suggest for you to consider is looking at options to categorize the information on your website and present it in a way that is easier for a user to understand. Just like in real life, internet first impressions are critical and having a professional (even when it's fun!) appearance goes a long ways in getting customers to trust you enough to begin to engage your services. Secondly, you can use some social media integration tools to communicate more effectively with your sphere of influence and referral sources to generate more business. Using your Wordpress website as the nerve center for your communications platform and then broadcasting that high-quality, relevant content out through the major social media communications sites works wonders for search engine optimization, especially with the new search algorithms that use social search as a component of their relevant results. I'd be happy to go over some details on a complimentary 30 minute consultation. Just let me know a good time and number to reach you when you'll be in front of your computer. Best, Mikel Hi Tony -
