« Older Entries |Ali Brown #SHINE Debrief From a 2009 Diamond … Part 1
Monday, November 9th, 2009
It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly a year since I sat in Ali Brown’s Online Success Blueprint Workshop and applied for her elite $100,000 diamond mentorship program.
This past weekend at Ali’s SHINE event, I sat on stage as part of Ali’s diamond success panel and couldn’t stop the tears from flowing as I thought about the past year and how happy I was to be sitting there as a symbol of hope for the hundreds of women in the audience.
Only a year ago, I was so confused about my identity. Mommy blogger? Lawyer? TV personality? Author? CEO? Something else entirely that I couldn’t even see yet?

Happy BIRTHday to the Nov 99 Moms Like Me!
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009
Ten years ago I was heavily preggo with my daughter, living back in my hometown of Miami for one year while I clerked for Judge Peter T. Fay on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
I had just graduated law school was newly married and despite living where I grew up, really didn’t have any “in real life” friends. The few friends I did have in high school were long gone. And, at only 25, no one else I knew was pregnant yet.
So, I made friends online.

The Meaning of Education?
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009
Back in my law school days, we spent hours upon hours debating who was smart, who wasn’t and what it meant to be smart. I thought the conversation was over when I graduated first in my class. I was smart.
Smart (at least for law school purposes) meant an extraordinary capacity to study non-stop and have an intuitive sense for what the professors looked for in exam answers.
More than ten years have gone by and I find myself being forced to completely re-examine the meaning of “smart” within the context of my own children and I have to tell you, it’s painful.
