Spam. Never liked the stuff- be it in the can or out. Lately, I’ve been seeing more spam out of the can and in the pages of MyWorkButterfly.com.  If you are confused as to what “spam” is as it relates to our community- let me clarify:

1. If you are selling or directly promoting your business- that is spam.
2. If you…

When it comes to quality child care and finding a good fit for you and your child, remember that you are the interviewer in this process and so ask for clarity when it comes to operational definitions. Start your investigation a couple of months prior to the planned admission date. Peace of mind is the payoff.

What is an operational definition? Easily stated, it is the way someone…

So I managed to do my ankle in, which landed me in an Aircast and crutches. I know what you’re thinking and for the record, I was not walking and texting. In fact, I was attempting to walk and talk at the VERY same time and managed to go over on my ankle. It’s a good thing I wasn’t chewing gum or I may have ended up in a full body cast.

Clearly this cast/crutches thing…

My name is Joy Marino and I am a wife and mom of 5 children.  I work from home now as a marketing advisor.  I enjoy helping other people utilize their talents, gifts and abilities to branch out, increase their business volume and achieve their goals.

As a child, growing up, my parents owned a luncheonette.  We served food as well as provided products to the local public.  I always had my parents around, since they were the only ones running the store and we lived in the…

I do hope that this past Martin Luther King Jr. Daygave you a much-needed long weekend with the family!  While it did offer me just that- MLK Jr. Day also gave me so much more…

Read about my recent horrific experiences in the 'care' of NY Presbyterian Hospital HERE. Let this article teach you the importance of understanding your rights as a patient, and if someone you love is going to undergo surgery, research the doctors and hospital very carefully and be sure…

Here we are- officially one week into 2012.  Spill it! How many of you have already abandoned your New Year’s resolution? I confess, I ate like sh!t yesterday but hey, today’s a new day!

I checked out Flywheel™ in Millburn, NJ recently because it’s rumored to be the best indoor cycling and barre experience around (and I figured if I can’t get the eating thing down right this early in the game, I may as well get the exercise thing down). Flywheel™ and barre are truly amazing…

Happy 2012 to you and your families!  Let’s start off by getting a few clichés out of the way. I resolve to: eat healthier, or less, and to exercise seven days a week. I resolve to stay organized, spend more quality time with my children and to become a better cook.  But, what I really want to say is that, “I RESOLVE TO STOP BEING SO DAMN HARD ON MYSELF!!”…

I resolve to stop being so damn hard on myself.  And you?

I know that even though I have been a Life Coach for many years I considered being vulnerable myself a weakness (although I wouldn't admit it for many years).  In more recent years, I started to see that the reason to "hide" (and not share how I was truly experiencing life) is because I thought I was the "only one".  My unconscious little voice would say "there is something wrong with you".  The context I had created for my life was of feeling good when I thought I was "better than others"…
