My Bio
My name is obvious from my siggy and my age is a myth. :) Let's just say I was born before Nixon was President.
For the last ten years I've been a Virtual Assistant after spending ten years working as an Office / Administrative / Executive Assistant for various companies and organizations.

My name is obvious from my siggy and my age is a myth. :) Let's just say I was born before Nixon was President.
For the last ten years I've been a Virtual Assistant after spending ten years working as an Office / Administrative / Executive Assistant for various companies and organizations.
Someone suggested, after I spent a year as a temp, that I cut out the middle man so I did just that. I now work with small business owners who have more work than they can do but nowhere to put an employee along with no equipment, no desire to pay benefits and a strong desire to work with an experienced assistant.
When I'm not typing away, creating wonderful specimens to aid my clients, answering my phone and keeping my household running smoothly, I'm off helping with my church, Women Business Owners (WBO), the Micro Webmasters Alliance and managing my own business, Admin Services.
Throw in surviving Hurricane Katrina, re-establishing my business and getting a divorce one behind the other and I'm lucky to be somewhat sane. Thank you Jesus for keeping me through it all!
Thank God for school so my two teenage daughters (17 & 15) can go somewhere and leave me alone while I work! LOL! Can you tell I love my kids?
Recently becoming an author of the e-book "What is a VA and how you can become one?". To get a preview of this book, please visit http://vatools.frugaladnetwork.com/index.php?page=book-preview.
Earlier this year, I premiered a brand new book, 15 years in the making, entitled "That which does not kill us makes us stronger" (TWDNK) is filled with triumph and tragedy with the heroine of this saga overcoming abuse, depression, adultery, single motherhood and Hurricane Katrina as she keeps the faith with her true warrior's heart. Come see how one woman survived it all to continue to rejoice on the other side. TWDNK will make you weep, laugh, shout for joy and remember why life is so precious.

As if all that wasn't enough to do, in March, I will be started the Newnan Networking Group who meet monthly on the third Monday of the month at 7pm and the WBO Newnan Networkers who meet monthly on the first Monday of the month at 11:30am. If you would like to attend, just let me know.
In my spare time I read my Bible, exercise my body, surf the Net and sleep when I can. I've got a wonderful sense of humor, tons of humility and excessive modesty. Oh well, at least I have a sense of humor. LOL!
Ok, enough about me, back to the real world! Take care and God bless.
