Building Bridges
By Dawn Thompson We usually don’t talk about family business, especially if we are in a fragile state. Sometimes I think it’s because we have a lot of pride. Other times I think it makes us vulnerable. In any case, not talking about things just kept us at a stand still. And that was [...]

Time is a Wonderful Thing
By Amy Dienta Time is a wonderful thing! Especially when you have some. As a working mom, I sometimes feel overwhelmed. Some days I feel like my job is never ending. I’ve decided that between 5pm and 8pm my cell phone and the TV are off completely. No TV, no checking work emails, no [...]
