California is a great state. Yes, political issues aside, I’m a born and bred Cali-girl, and proud of it. I’ve tried living in other states, but I always end up back here in California. You can’t beat the climate and the diversity of the terrain and the number of things to do in California. You can wake up overlooking the Pacific Ocean and in just a few hours time be having lunch in the grandeur of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
I’ve seen a good deal of the state over the decades, but I had never been to the coastal mountain …

I have not been giving my blog the attention that it deserves.
For weeks now, I have had no motivation to write much of anything. Even though I’ve managed to get a few posts out there, it was a belabored effort, at best. My Alexa numbers are up and while I know I shouldn’t be basing my success on my Alexa number, it does provide insight for me into the traffic on my blog. The cycle goes like this: My blog posting and writing slows down, my traffic goes down, my Alexa number goes up. If I start writing more, …

 Nothing can make….or break…your company faster than people talking. The fact is, people listen to what others say, for better or worse, so it’s more important than ever to make those good words count.
We all know how fast bad news can travel. If someone is unhappy with your product or services, you can bet others will hear about it. People tend to listen a bit less when the news isn’t as juicy, so if you have

No matter the age, our babies are always our babies. And when your child is wheeled away from you on a hospital gurney, there is no greater tug on the heart strings. I’ve watched my oldest daughter go under general anesthesia 7 times now (even though I tell her the oral surgery doesn’t really count, she’s quite adamant that in her mind, it counts!). She’s had major abdominal surgery as a 10 year old, her left hip pinned at 11, her right hip pinned at 12,

One of the problems that everyone faces when putting content on the internet is copyright infringement. Many people falsely assume that if something is out in the public on the internet, it’s free for the taking. This is not the case! Anything published on the internet was put there by someone, and that person more than likely has copyrights to that information. If you want to use that information, legally you are required to ask permission before just taking it for your own use.
I wrote a blog post a couple of years ago, titled “…Continue reading How to Watermark Your Photos to Help Avoid Copyright Infringements

This morning I decided to head to a nearby town and check out a Ranch Horse Versatility show. I’ve often thought about showing in this discipline, but first I needed to go and see exactly what’s involved so I know what I need to work on. Looks like I’m gonna be busy!
I only stayed for the first half of the show and the classes I watched were ranch cutting, ranch trail, and ranch riding. Later in the afternoon the rest of the cattle classes were held.
Ranch cutting involves riding into a small herd of cattle and sorting out …
