How Did Your Mother Influence Your Career?

Thumbnail image for How Did Your Mother Influence Your Career?

I’m very lucky to have the Mother that I do. Born to Italian immigrants, my Mom did what most 1st generation Italian-American kids do: she joined the family Environmental Drilling business (honestly, she probably started there around age 6- labeling soil sample jars).

All of this Valentine’s Day talk is really starting to irritate me.  I can’t get away from it- horrible Kay Jewelers and Jared commercials.  The escapades on The Bachelor (more on this for viewers at the end).  Watching dumb girls give it up too soon on The Millionaire Matchmaker in hopes that they will get a [...]

What do you want when you are FULL?

By, Vanessa Torres Last week I had coffee with an exceptional woman who is building a business in this shaky economy. But she believes so wholeheartedly in her mission that she is completely un-discouraged by news reports that imply certain failure.

Make Someone’s Day

On my morning run yesterday, I passed Chicago’s Anti-Cruelty Society. I happened to be wearing my pink baseball hat with a black lab on it (which marked me as either a totally cheesy and tacky lady, or an animal lover).
