imjustagoyle — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:16:56 +0000

Let’s face it, social networking is fun. It’s a great way to connect with people we’ve just met (in person or online), or those that we’ve lost touch with. It’s a great tool for keeping up with everyday happenings in [...]

The Vexing Truth About Self Expression

imjustagoyle — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 22:20:47 +0000

I’ll admit that the hairstyle I recently chose is attention getting. I knew that going into it. Since it’s all part of the rock star transformation, it seemed reasonable. Attention it has certainly gotten. There are distinct reactions from the [...]

The Bucket List

My recent antics have some people asking me if I’m going through a midlife crisis. In the last 5 years of my life I’ve divorced, found the love of my life, started a business, started singing again- and now I’ve [...]

Time Flies!

It seems almost surreal that my son just turned 17 years of age. I still remember being 17 like it was yesterday; it was the best time of my life. I can hardly believe that in just 1 short year, [...]

A Promise Keeping Performance

A little over a year ago, I made a promise to myself. When I faced surgery to remove my thyroid, I faced the possibility of losing my singing voice, which I have always treasured but never actually used. I was [...]

A Rant About Womans Day Magazine

A few months ago I was contacted by a reporter from Woman’s Day Magazine. She wanted to talk to me about JobShouts for an upcoming article about Social Networks and job searching. We spoke for about 45 minutes; she asked [...]

Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say

imjustagoyle — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 22:21:53 +0000

Ever since I can remember, I have encountered people in life who are less than honest about things because they are afraid of telling me something disappointing. What this leads to, of course, is the discovery that what they told [...]

Time Heals (and so do puppy kisses)

imjustagoyle — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 18:50:32 +0000

When Duchess passed away suddenly last month, I thought there was no way I could consider getting another dog anytime soon. My heart was so broken that I didn’t think I could muster the love that another animal would need [...]

imjustagoyle — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 13:54:16 +0000

This past Saturday, I lost my best friend; my loyal canine companion of more than 10 years, Duchess. It happened suddenly – right in front of us at the dinner table. Unfortunately, baby girl witnessed it too. We can only [...]

Memorial Day Should Be Every Day

I’ve never known anyone that was actively enlisted in the military. At least, not in my immediate circle of friends, family or loved ones. It’s hard for me to imagine how difficult it must be to say goodbye to someone [...]
