What It's Like to Be a Disney Cast Member!
It is the most popular question asked by Disney super fans. What is is like being a Disney cast member? Most articles speak about what it is like being a cast member at the Disney Parks. While that was certainly my dream, it was not a reality for me. I was a student looking for a job to help me pay through school. Then came my entrance into the Disney Company... The Disney Store!

How Do You Want to Be Perceived as a Manager?
I recently received feedback as part of my annual appraisal and I came across a very interesting point from a person with whom I work closely, who was requested to share his thoughts about my person. One of the points that really stood out to me was that I should consider how I want to be perceived as a manager, an extremely interesting question which got me into thinking. What could the hidden stereotype be behind it?

How to Deal with a Creative Block
Right now, I'm at the end of another creative block. I'm an amateur photographer and when I'm in the creative zone, I can take dozens of photos a day and the very least, feel satisfied with them, but when you're stuck in a creative block, it is difficult, you go through the motions, just crafting and curating your art for the sake of doing so. And it's immensely frustrating whether it is your profession or you're like me, and it's something you enjoy.

Underappreciated Music Programs in Education
Budget cuts throughout the U.S. have caused severe losses in funding to public school music programs. Furthermore, under appreciated programs then suffer because of low participation rates, lack of equipment, and district priorities. This leads music in schools to be viewed as nerdy, uncool, and boring. This negative outlook and lack of participation has created an unequal balance of funding in schools. Schools are far more likely to designate their funds to the attractive and crowd-pleasing sports programs rather than to the disadvantaged music programs. This leaves these rejected groups to scrounge for money on their own.

From Sinking, to Soaring
Where shall I, begin...I guess we'll start with the valley, I call, "the valley of lack," which started, roughly in the year of 2004. Shortly after I decided to quit my 12-year marriage and 13-year career. I found myself in the valley of lack. Newly single and just starting to grow my mobile spa service, I was not prepared for the years ahead. I focused on raising my four children, while trying to build a successful, mobile spa service. Living off of my 401K plan and the handful of clients that I had acquired before I left my job, it soon became apparent that my business was not, going to be as successful, as I had hoped for and soon found myself facing homelessness, with my four children, as I couldn't keep up with my mortage payments. I went through a bout with depression that left me feeling suicidal which was an old demon that crept up on me when I was feeling helpless. As I was preparing to possibly become a shelteree, I was saved that journey by being offered to take over property that had been abandoned by a family member. As me and the children settled into our new home, I tried many different avenues to increase business but after only three short years, my mobile spa service had become non-existent and I found myself back out in the workforce but chose this time to work overnight, so that I could still continue to be, for the most part, a stay-at-home mom — available for school field trips, disciplinary trips to the school, sports events, and the likes. My overnight job, only lasted three months, as I had an accident on the job that left me with a partial finger, but a nice settlement that afforded me a "taste of the good life," as well as a new family vehicle, paid in full. After my settlement, I vowed to forever be a stay-at-home mom, and til this very day continue to be so even though my children are now, all grown. You're probably wondering how I'm making a living these days, and I can't wait to tell you.
