Best 100 Career Minded And Working Women Podcasts Photo Credit: https://blog.feedspot.com/career_minded_and_working_women_podcasts/ Hello Everyone! May this windy a$$ Thursday be the only distraction to an otherwise smooth, problem-free day today. How is your schedule going for you on your side of the globe today? Your favorite New York construction worker chick has brewed up another Quora question and response for your reading pleasure today. For this blog post, I'm sharing this Quora question about why people get triggered by hearing the phrase "no offense" after receiving a dose of harsh truth. I found this to be a rather interesting question so I responded and opted to share with you. Over the years, I've learned that sharing some unsolicited harsh truth can be such a tight rope to walk. If you read my posts, you have figured out by now that I love people who don't beat around the bush and just say what is on their minds. Of course I'd like to ...

I had a great weekend spending time with someone special!! How's your week going on your side of the globe today? I really wanted to work on the audio version of the book over the weekend. However, other things took a front seat for my attention. Yes, I'm behind on releasing some podcast episodes too. I shall try to do some podcast releases this week after work since I've clogged up my weekend with the lovely option of "hanging out with my boo". :) I really can't believe that I got on the back of a motorcycle on Sunday with my man candy. He laughed when I called him my "man candy". It was a nice day and it was enjoyable once I got past my initial fear. For the first stretch, I buried my helmet into his back. My husband died on one and I somewhat blamed the bike for...

Photo Credit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XZMF54R Hello Everyone! Well we made it to Friday, my friend!! Cheers for surviving another week and making it to the weekend!! What are your weekend plans on your side of the globe? Whatever they are, I hope they are absolutely what you want to do. I'm working on the audio version of the book, working on another podcast episode release, and self improvment. I'm trying to continue to work on alternate day fasting in an effort to lose more weight and get ready for the summer. Another highlight of the weekend is a date on Sunday. As of this entire past week, I have been working on trying to get the cover approved for the hardcover version of "Not All Girls Play With Dolls". Sadly, I have not released many blog posts this week. As I stated in an earlier blog post this week, this hardcover release has been a top priority for me. I'm not a graphic artist so this has been a huge challenge figuring out how to get it...

Photo Credit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XZMF54R Hello Everyone! How are you doing on your Wednesday, my friend? What is new on your side of the globe today? As of lately, I have been working on trying to create the hardcover version of "Not All Girls Play With Dolls". I have not been working on any blog posts this week. Figuring out this hardcover release has been a top priority lately. I needed to create a minimum of 75 pages for the hardcover version. I then realized that I needed to create some fluff with extra pages since I only have 26 illustrations in total. For each illustration, I needed to create a page introducing each illustration. I had to figure out how I was going to approach this task with rather limited illustrating abilities. Sadly, my Russian illustrator is not on the Fiverr platform at the moment. The company is one of many starving out the Russians during the current invasion of Ukraine. It's a shame since I really liked working with h...

Photo Credit: www.wikihow.com Hello Everyone! I wish for you a fabulous Thursday that flows as smooth as silk. How is life on your side of the globe today? I'm going to offer some water for a dry question that was posted on Quora today. This question posed is on how to revive and bring back from the dead a bad conversation. I always think it's important to probe the other party with questions. It serves to continue the chat, add depth, and perform a temperature gauge on the other person. Some people are just shy or uninformed on the topic of discussion. In other instances, that person may just need some help with the direction and how to contribute to the conversation. It could be a topic that the person doesn't even know much about. The subject may be sensitive and the person is rather cautious as to how to approach it tactfully. We can't be total experts on every conversation that exists on the planet. It doesn't hurt to probe further with the follow...

What is goin' on near your side of the globe today? I'm excited to share with you a fellow journeywoman electrician's entrepreneurial clothing line launch. Prior to that, I want to announce that my first children's book entitled, "Not All Girls Play With Dolls" is now officially as a Nook for Barnes & Noble!! I'm giving a fair warning that the illustrations, by Anastasia Taranenko, are not in the Nook e-book. However, the illustrations are available as Kindle and iTunes e-books. I have to figure out how to make the e-pub file smaller in order to load it into Nook. Yes, I need to work on the hardcover version of the book. I'm frustrated that Fiverr has removed my illustrator from the platform because she is from Russia. I need to find an illustrator to create blank back...
