It’s closing in on the end of Leap Day, our gift of 24-hours from Mother Nature. I must admit that I had visions of waking up late and eating chocolate and cookies for breakfast, but, alas, no such luck. It was a dreary day here in the Northeast; rainy, cold, foggy, and generally miserable. And despite my mad desire to just curl up in bed with a book and snooze all day, I managed to be rather productive.
I say that as if I don’t have another four hours of work ahead of me tonight.
One of the highlights was being featured as a guest on my friend Barbara’s Blog Talk Radio show this afternoon. Barbara is like sunshine on a dreary day and, although I was dreadfully nervous beforehand, I had a wonderful time chatting with her. She has an amazingly uplifting blog called The Corner on Character that is definitely worth checking out. You can listen to the interview here.

I started off my college career in the fall of 1992 as a journalism major. I had been writing for the local paper during my senior year in high school and had every intention of becoming a newspaper reporter who dabbled in magazines. Little did anyone know that my other choice was to be a teacher. It was a coin toss as to what I was going to major in, because really, I loved both, but felt I had to be a journalism major.
