Spincycle diaries:  confessions of a modern-day renaissance woman

As a woman, new to the fourth decade, I’m constantly trying to balance work and life along with a whole host of other things and on most days, success doesn’t fit into my vernacular.  After a long career at a top global financial services firm where I raised millions of dollars for some of the country’s most influential organizations, I’ve decided to try and make it on my own – to chart my own course!  After all, there’s gotta be more to life…

Like many in the same boat, I’m trying to have it all – though a lot of the time it just feels like I’m treading water…

Armed with a talent for communications and strategy, I like to wear sky high heels, pretty dresses and hoop earrings and although the quality of my day directly correlates with how good my hair looks, I can make decisions and get the job done!  I can also whip on some boots and dig up a lawn, I can wield a brush and paint, I can coach my son’s soccer team and get dinner on the table without missing a beat.  I’m a self-proclaimed modern-day renaissance woman.

I invite you to follow my trials and tribulations – for surely they must ring true for you!  Almost a year ago, I started writing this blog.  It was a huge risk for me and something wildly different but it paid off as before I knew it, my blog became published.  I never realized (or rather, didn’t remember) that I could write and tell stories…it’s truly the chance of a lifetime.

So, budding entrepreneur by day, mom by night, and writer anytime in between…all while being a sister, a daughter, a wife (to Mr. Niceguy – the nicest guy you’ll ever meet) and a friend.  Read my blog and catch up on my adventures…no doubt some will make you laugh – while others will surely make you scratch your head!!!  We’re all in this together…
