Saturday Brownies and True Love

December 5, 2015December 5, 2015 Jo Tango

I don’t know about you, but as we slide towards the winter solstice, my energy level goes down. As the daylight period decreases, I find myself needing more sleep. Part of it could be the aging process. I’m pretty familiar with this phenomenon, and many of my friends are, too. I’ve found that continuing to exercise

I’m No Longer Checking LinkedIn

December 2, 2015December 2, 2015 Jo Tango

As I’ve written before, I’m trying to be more mindful about into which activities I’m making an emotional investment. So, I’ve decided that I’m no longer checking LinkedIn. It’s not that I don’t think LinkedIn is valuable, for I do, but I’m finding that it is much easier to track people via Twitter, since people

The Small Things

November 25, 2015November 25, 2015 Jo Tango

It is the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. You almost can feel the nation start to change gears. That’s what I’m about to do. I shortly am going to the office to meet with an entrepreneur and to wrap up some loose ends. I’m behind on filing my expenses, for example. Everyday life stuff. It will be

Father-Daughter Dance…in Prison

November 20, 2015November 20, 2015 Jo Tango

I’m a big believer that unconditional love from a parent to a child makes all the difference. I’m a big believer that the lack of that can create pretty serious issues downstream. As I recently told a friend, everyone needs to feel safe and protected, to feel accomplished and approved, that he/she “already is enough.” In
