A Hidden Addiction Among Admins - and No, It's Not Coffee.
A Hidden Addiction Among Admins – and No, It’s Not Coffee.
At the request of many admin pals.. I’m re-posting this blog from August 2010… Enjoy. And remember.. admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery..~kemetia
It’s been said that the first step to recovering from an addiction is to admit it. But what to do when it is so socially and culturally ingrained as acceptable, nay even encouraged, in your daily life — that it is shameful…

South Boston
Well, folks! It’s been a long, strange trip. What I love (and sometimes don’t love) about life is that there are plenty of twists, turns, trap doors and of course, lessons to learn.
About seven months ago my husband and I embarked on a journey to change the life we were living. I began by pursuing a new position. Something that would allow me to be me, 100%. During the process,…

April is know for the Cherry Blossoms and Dogwood tree in DC Metro.
April is a BIG month for me personally. Lots going on.
Administrative Professionals Week. Religious holidays. Birthdays galore. And, work is also usually just kicking into conference gear around this same time.
Over the last few years I was running regularly,almost 5k a week. Something changed, and I had no desire to…

Sticking by My Motto
Sticking by My Motto
Good morning from San Diego.
I’m attending the Social Media Marketing World conference for the very first time. (#SMMW19). The menu of sessions is immense. I’m not sure of the exact number of attendees, but if the pre-conference meetup last night was any indication, it’s going to be much larger than any conference I’ve previously attended.
This week is all about my personal motto/mantra,…

Catch a Groove to Get into a Groove
Catch a Groove to Get into a Groove
Music plays a huge role in my life. Music was always on in our house or a sibling was practicing their instrument.
Early on I can remember my parents introducing us to Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. My brothers all played instruments: trombone, trumpet, drums. My sister used to blast Rod Stewart through the house. My late mother played the piano. My Dad loved Jazz. My father’s mother,…

If at First, You Don’t Succeed…
The last few months have been really challenging for me. I confess is that as much as I have encouraged others to get out and walk during lunch or get exercise during the workday, I have not been taking my own advice.
But that’s okay. I’m not going to beat myself up over it. I know the deal. We’re all capable of fits and starts of healthy eating, financial prudence, exercising, getting plenty of…

Why is it so scary to go after a dream?
Why is it so scary to go after a dream?
I don’t know about others.
I only know my life.
I know why I’m scared to go after my dreams.
No one enjoys being harassed by bill collectors. (Do they?)
No one wants it to take a long time to get there. (It takes time.)
I know my father raised me to believe that once I got a good job, don’t ever. EVER! leave it unless you are fired. Double-down on that if the position has excellent benefits.…

Today’s Purpose: Self-Care and Sacred Things Pt. 2-[Update]
Wrought iron beauties from my walk at lunchtime today
July 30, 2018 Update
So, it’s been a bit since I wrote this original post (Dec. 2017).
I’d forgotten all about my self-care list — until that creepy thing that happens when you are thinking about something and it starts to show up everywhere… Kind of like how Facebook Weight Watcher ads show up after I post a gratitude list that includes Mint…

Tonight I came home from work and per usual, hopped on Twitter.
I knew things would be kicking off in Sydney, Australia for #ExecSecLive. I immediately searched the hashtag and starting following posts from the conference.
Executive Secretary Live is a fantastic administrative conference that travels the globe. So many administrative conferences: IAAP Summit, IMA, ASAP Annual Conference, AdminToAdmin, EPAA,Office Dynamics, AEAP, Be the Ultimate Assistant, and this list is hardly complete! For a complete list, visit /http://executivesecretary.com/associations for an administrative association near you. Or, visit http://executivesecretary.com/events/ for a full list of training events. [Self-disclosure, I’ll be speaking at Executive Secretary LIVE, Johannesburg later this year.]
I get super excited when I think about administrative conferences! We are NOT alone! You have had a crazy work experience, and I can almost certainly guarantee you that another attendee has had either the exact same challenge or something very close. There’s an instant recognition. An instant acknowledgment of mutual respect.
That feeling is wicked awesome—and that’s a good thing! It’s such a relief and also a tidal wave of joy to meet our career colleagues.
If you are an administrative or office professional, I promise you with all my heart that you simply MUST find a way to get to an administrative conference. It will change your world, your perspective, and expand your network in ways you cannot fathom.
Here’s a tiny sliver of the friends I’ve made via admin conferences. As Diana Brandl says, “We are in this together!”

Be Right Back.. Shhhh.. I've snuck away for some rejuvenation time...
Administrative Professionals Day 2018 I think Jan Jones says it best here. I raise my coffee mug to the men and women that provide exceptional and extraordinary administrative and office support each and every day.
Not as Simple as I thought!

So I started a challenge, actually two challenges. One was to get peers up and moving during the work week and named it the #AprilDeskEscape challenge. The second was to participate in SSSVEDA (or Vlog Every Day in April) challenge from Amy Landino.
Not as easy as I thought it would be for either. Mostly due to a lack of planning on my part. And, given it is the first time I’ve done either of…
