I have to say, I’m very excited about the upcoming Virtually, Anything is Possible…Infinite Prospects and Possibilities of the VA Industry online symposium that is coming up. The event is being hosted by Red Deer College’s VA Certificate Program graduating students and they have done a fantastic job with it.
I have to say, I am completely hooked on WordPress. I absolutely love this software, and hey you can’t complain about the price – FREE. I’ve been doing alot of playing around with it. I find I learn more by doing, then by listening how to do it. So I’ve set myself up with a WordPress demo site and for the past 6 months I’ve been using it as a learning tool. Playing with themes, customizing headers, adding widgets and plugins, I’ve learned so much, but the bottomline is it’s really not that hard.
When was the last time you let your inner child come out and play? When was the last time you did something so fun and silly that you felt like you were 10 again? Probably not for a while right? I hear ya, it’s been a while for me too!
As I sat and watched my daughter open her birthday presents last weekend and witnessed the surprise and joy, I was in awe of how simple this age was. I thought to myself then, “age four, what bliss, where a $6.99 Barbie doll was like winning the lottery”. She was enthralled with everything; the Barbie doll house, furniture and of course the Barbie pool to go with it (now come on, summer’s coming and Barbie needs to spend her hours soaking in the sun). My point being at that moment she would have been happy with just that one $6.99 Barbie Doll. Then something happens….
I had to share with you an experience that recently happened to me. I was attending my son’s parent/teacher night at his high school a week ago. Okay, so not the best feedback I was hoping for, but hey that’s a whole other story. Anyways, I was chatting with one of his teachers and the subject of occupations came up. I explained that I was a VA and a College Instructor.
Woo Hoo, Spring is here…no it’s really here! The birds are chirping, the buds are turning green on the tree in the backyard, and of course the “gifts” my wonderful dogs have left me over the winter session are all over the back lawn… Ewww…I know gross right? But if I’m writing a blog about Spring time, dog poop has to be mentioned at least once. Dog poop, spring time…part of the reason why I know spring is definitely here.
