There’s nothing quite like sitting back with your best girlfriends and plotting a diabolical strategy for revenge. I do have to say that as I get older, it does still taste as sweet. But it’s always important to stick with the all important rule of thumb: “Revenge is a dish best served cold.” […]
I’m going to quote one of my favorite women leaders, Fannie Lou Hamer, “I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.” Here’s my open plea to Citi’s Professional Women’s Network – please stop with the open-ended citi discussion posts.

For some people, you really do have to spell everything out. You hope it’s not an agent that’s sworn to protect you from the threat of terrorism, though. […]
