Making a Good First Impression

We all know the saying, you only have one chance to make a first impression. For me, my mother taught me that. She encouraged me to be sure I was always neat in my appearance and appropriately dressed for every situation. Decades later, I still live by the standards she taught me—most days! But, in our modern world, making a first impression includes an electronic first impression often before or even in lieu of a face to face impression.

The Rewiring Process

I am hard wired as a night person. During the transition from college student to employee the rewiring process started completely against my will. My husband and I generally did not talk in the morning while getting ready for work—I was incapable of conversation.

Snow Test, Part Two

The snow and ice of February has faded into a distant memory—at least in Raleigh (sorry friends further north). In North Carolina we are bracing for our next ground covering—pollen! Even so, I want to follow up on the original Snow Test blog.
