Gloria Bell wrote a post about things she needs more of and it really struck me. Gloria says, “Whether it is the little things or the big things, we so often fail to think about the things that enrich our lives and make us uniquely who we are”. The last two years were years of massive…
When things go wrong, we have a tendency to lay blame. They didn’t do x, y and z, therefore I couldn’t do…. I have to admit that I have been guilty at times of blaming others. Nobody likes to admit when they fail, even those with the best intentions. Blame is really, well.. lame. We…
“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope…
Dear Santa I haven’t written you a letter in a long time. My kids wrote their Santa letters to you tonight, and I thought I should too. I know you can’t make all my dreams come true, but I hope you take serious consideration of my list. I wish for: My kids health and safety. …

This morning I woke up to feel a small finger tracing the outline of my nose, across my eyelids, and over my mouth. A gentle breath on my face, and then a tiny whisper in my ear, “I love you mama.” I opened my eyes to see the sweet face of my son, who then…
So, “Sophie” asked me this, “hey ginger. I am up for a promotion against two fairly connected guys. How do I stand out?” Before I answer this question, I would like to point out that I like men. A lot. I work extremely well with men- my two business partners are both men. I find…
So, you might have heard some rumblings this week, seen a few changes around this site. Yes, it is official. Ginger Knows just got a LOT sassier (and a lot more frequent!). I started Ginger Knows for fun, to share my life outside my work, and to give other people advice because I am never…
September 11 has a very different connotation for me than for many of you. Today is my 10th wedding anniversary. Sadly, that relationship is over- it ended a little over a year ago. I have to admit, there have been many moments where I felt like a failure for not being able to complete the…
