Thanks to 100s of you who have sent Dave and me your well wishes, prayers, and cards. We certainly needed every bit of encouragement. Dave and I have been through quite a test of faith and hope the past 3 weeks. I have learned more nursing skills than I ever would wish to have learned (I am very squeamish, on top of it) and Dave has been fighting daily battles in his own way.

Well, that sentence didn’t make entirely too much sense, did it? As you read it, you probably laugh at me and think I have no grasp of the English language. The ironic thing is though, as I typed that in Microsoft Word©, it didn’t have much of a problem with it either. Every bit of gibberish in the sentence at the beginning was an actual word and was completely ignored by my spell check.

Guest Post by Nancy Fraze. They say confession is good for the soul, so let me just come clean from the outset: I despise morning radio deejays. Their inane banter, endless contests, silly sound bites and shallow comments bore me. The deejay pairings, so formulaically “good guy/wild girl” duos, made my teeth ache for a dentist’s drill! Music has always helped me settle into the routine of a new day while I get ready for work.

by Nancy Fraze. Guest Blogger. Not too far from my home is a business located on a side street at the end of a lane. The business is located in a beige cinderblock building with a roll up door, unpretentiously simple. There is no sign over the door…on the wall…or anywhere…in fact, I’m not sure there is a street number posted on the building! It’s called Kevin and Connor’s and if you know about them then you know about something good.

I was at the super market this Sunday and I passed by this box of cereal and thought to myself – “Man, if there was only a way that by simply eating a bowl of those daily made you a star life - it would be so great!” It’s not that way though, is it? Real life requires us to take action if we want to be a star, to be committed and engaged! I was lucky enough to participate in our IAAP AZ-NV-NM Division Annual Meeting in Tucson over the weekend and I must tell you that the quality of administrativ

I am so excited and happy for many administrative professionals whose companies have finally had an epiphany about the value of on-site professional development as a necessary component of administrative excellence. The reason these companies had an epiphany is because a determined executive assistant or senior administrative assistant met me, has been exposed to my teachings and went back to their management and persuaded them of the value and necessity of training for their administrative comm

As many of you know, my husband Dave was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer 3 years ago and has been a real warrior. While he has been doing well for the past several months, he is going through a setback right now as I write you. It actually started about 3 weeks ago but the doctors believe they have figured it out and are nursing him back to health.

I am working on a special project involving titles for administrative professionals. The past 2 weeks I have been with numerous groups of administrative professionals throughout the United States and have been surveying them regarding their titles. What I am hearing is a real eye opener and I’m not sure I like all of what I’m hearing. What do I mean?

It’s been a hectic time at our office and with the recent holiday and conferences taking us offsite – it has been a challenge staying focused. I’m sure you have experienced the same with long weekends and the beginning of summer before us. We have also faced many challenges recently as many of us do from time to time in life. My question, though, is have you lost your groove?
