My memory!! What happened to my memory? Mr. Sandman stole it in the night? I lost it watching the WWI wrestling or America’s Next Top Model?? What happened?
It’s not just losing my keys, forgetting why I entered a room or not being able to complete a sentence with a shred of coherency, but I am staring this very moment, at my “to do” list from yesterday and one of the items I hastily scrawled marked “urgent” is: “MAKE PRICE RED SOCK”. What am I supposed to do with that?? I have formed the letters in every possible combination and got nothing! It may come back to me and then again may not.

Or…I don’t know what to do, which way to go…
I met a very gifted life coach at one of our women’s shows and wanted to pass along her information to you. More than just sometimes we can find ourselves stuck and in need of a little guidance.

Her website is: www.whatsonyourdash.com and her e-mail is: nancy@whatsonyourdash.com.

With all the ways and means to connect, interact and socialize with people online, why is it sometimes, the more I tweet, Facebook, blog, e-mail, myspace, I feel a sense of growing aloneness?
