Three Day for the Cure UPdate

I wanted to follow up on the e-mail I sent you earlier about my participation in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure. I've been spending the past few weeks preparing for the event and have really made a lot of progress. So far I've raised 2130.00. My personal goal is to raise 5000 for this walk, but before I get there, I have to raise the minimum to participate, which is 2300. As you an see, I only have a few hundred dollars to go. I also recently decided to be a training walk leader in the an Diego Metro area and am anticipating undergoing my training in the next few days.

My training is also going well. I walk or run a minimum of 3 miles per day. I can hardly wait to hit the road with the thousands of other women and men who are joining together for this common cause.

There is still time for you to support my efforts with a donation. Net proceeds from the Komen 3-Day for the Cure are invested in breast cancer research and community programs.

As I mentioned in my original note, I am walking in memory of my mother, Elvie Powell, who succumbed to breast cancer at the age of 38, but we all know someone who has been touched by this horrible disease.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,
Nina Foxx

Closed-But Still Awesome!

It's a wrap for me! 2023 was good to me. in terms of experiences and opportunities that came my way, but now its time for some rest and relaxation. I'm taking the rest of the year off, from EVERYTHING...day job, passion projects included. I set goals at the beginning of the year, on reviewing them, I accomplished several, but if it's not done now, it's not gonna get done in the last 2 1/2 weeks of the year. I could sprint for the finish line and fall over, it, exhausted, or I can step back and learn lessons from the 12 months that I worked towards these goals. I'm choosing the latter. I am going to slow down to refocus so that I can step into 2024 properly paced. Taking a break may seem counterintuitive to some, but it's not a sign of weakness, it's an act of self care. I'm a writer. I'm a coach, and I am an UX Research Leader. Creativity fuels my work, but when constantly on the go, the wellspring of inspiration can run dry. Or you just get tired.

What are friends for?

So, you get a call, a request, an email from a friend. When you need money, what do you do? Do you repeatedly depend on friends to solve your cash flow problems if you have them? Or do you find other ways to meet your fiscal needs. This is a dilemma. I'm not talking about the type of crisis where you need some money to pay the rent, buy the groceries, feed the kids, but the type of crisis where its just not clear. And if you find yourself there, do you find yourself there over and over again? Let’s say, I have a legal problem. I need a lawyer. How do I get the money together to pay the lawyer’s retainer. And let’s say I've been here before. You know what I would do? I’d save it. Maybe ten bucks a week if that was all I had and just wait until I knew could pay. It might take a long time, but that’s what I would do. Is this where you are? But now, let’s say I couldn’t save it. Then what? Would you try to sell something? Anything? Drum up some business if you are a f

Ugly Feet E-mail/Summer Open Toe Shoe Pledge

I got this in an email and I thought I had to share. I do not know who the original author was, put thanks to that person for laying it down. Alright it's that time of year "once" again!!! And based on this email that someone passed along to me I think we need to be reminded of a few things. So my sisters, PLEASE, raise your big toes and repeat after me below.... The Open Toed Shoe Pledge As a member of the Cute Girl Sisterhood, I pledge to follow the Rules when wear sandals and other open-toe shoes: I promise to always wear sandals that fit.

I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe. I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow. I will shave the hairs off my big toe. I won't wear pantyhose even if my
