I have been doing what I love since I lost my job last July - doing publicity for my church and helping the Elmhurst Chamber as an ambassador. My church recognized my contributions with an angel pin, and the Chamber recognized me as Ambassador of…

Day 5 November 4

Tom and I took my son, Joe, to lunch. It is such a treat when he is available to do something. Usually he is busy with work or his friends. We went to a Chamber After Hours event and we were giving a new member ideas about his business and bought him a beer.

Thanks. It has become my "trademark". I have a Palm Treo phone, and I note friends' and family members birthdays on it. I have to make sure that I call when they are awake and not sleeping in. My friend in North Carolina told me one…

Day 4 November 3

Posted on November 3, 2009 at 8:51pm 2 Comments

Today was my best friend's birthday. I live in Chicago and she lives in North Carolina. Every year, I try to be one of the first people to wish her a Happy Birthday. I called about 9:00 am her time, and sang Happy Birthday. I waited until 9:00 am to make sure that she is up. She was thrilled. I always joke that I will keep looking for a day job, because my singing isn't that great.



I learned today that a friend of mine is moving to China. We arranged to have lunch together, and I… Continue

Day 2

I didn't know what to give for Day 2. I focused on doing things for people, but nothing really seemed like a gift.

She asked if I had selected a book, and I replied that I wanted to give her the money, but I didn't want a book. She gave me a rather… Continue

Day One - October 31

Posted on October 31, 2009 at 1:30pm 0 Comments

I had 2 bags of clothes that I had been meaning to give away for 2 years, and they just sat, because I was never really moved to do anything with them. Seeing Cami on the Today Show, starting to read her book, and participating in the Meditations for Entrepreneurs got me off my "duff", as my Dad would say, and I DID IT! It was very liberating, and timely, because they are fall and winter clothes.
