A Change of Seasons. . . It’s really not a change of season as much as a change of mood and focus. I speak of having taken the month of July off from blogging. It would be great to report that the time off was consumed by a vacation at the beach, long sauntering walks…

Bread Crumbs! That’s how I felt when a glimmer of creative hope dropped into sight this morning. Scrambling for a blog post subject, I was creatively dry as a bone and lamenting same to a friend. “If only I had a few bread crumbs with which to start,” I complained. The “Curse” for Women in Business.…
