How Did I Land On Elm Street?

Estimated Reading Time: 6 minutes

That nightmarish image you see? That’s how I felt last night… though I’m a little better today.

I was having a perfectly good day, chugging along with work, getting ready for the first-ever Women Grow Business Boot Camp, looking forward to today’s #140conf: DC, and maintaining a relatively sunny disposition despite the three-hour power outage we had.

The Slumbering UnGiant Awakes

Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes

Don’t choke on your coffee, but I’m back. Or Waxing UnLyrical is back. We’re back. Whichever way you’d like to look at it, we…

I think you got the message.

What have I been doing in these 2+ weeks? Or, more importantly, what’s been going on with WUL in these 2+ weeks?
