Dear Friends, 
    The original purpose of my website was to entertain, educate and hopefully empowers others.  In 2010, this journey continues.  I realize that this is a tough time for many (five years ago I too was laid off), thus I remain committed to sharing insights via humor, words of wisdom or other insights through "Venus Notes", my monthly column.  I will also continue to share "green" tips, ways to save for those of us on a tight budget, including simple menu ideas, and other fun tips found on DID YOU KNOW.  Come journey with me.  And invite your friends and family to come along monthly for the ride.  Carol
