"The be-all and end-all of life should not be to get rich, but to enrich the world." – Bertie Charles Forbes
Bertie Charles Forbes, known as B.C. Forbes, is remembered as the founder of the long-running Forbes magazine, aimed at investors. He was born in 1884 in Scotland. He worked as a reporter for a Dundee newspaper until 1901, when he moved to South Africa and founded a newspaper there; but he stayed just three years before moving to the United States, where he became a financial editor and columnist. His sons Bruce and Malcolm succeeded him as editors-in-chief of Forbes. He died in 1954.
I've been online this morning searching out a new Nanny for the K family. I'm figuring on making it an expedient and smooth transition. I also hope S & C won't be too upset over the switch if I can be involved in helping solve their dilemma. The ubber good news is I think I've found somebody wonderful for them.
As to writing, I am going to have to channel my energies first into organizing channeling my energies. LOL I have so many projects going, they're starting to run together. Can't have that because then nothing gets my full hundred per.
Behind the Wall muses are over their snit and speaking to me again. Max has offered me his work: Mists of the Mind. He's lost interest in working out the revision, and he knew how much I enjoyed it. So he emailed me the other night to ask if I wanted it. At first I thought he was joking. After some back and forth, however, I realized he was quite serious, so I jumped on it. Currently, I'm going through the muse/writer intro process. Hopefully, we'll get along... uh, if my timidity doesn't put them off.
Further, I'm working on no less than three children stories, and business writing - as in job descriptions and brochure publishing, Letters of Introduction, Resume's, Curriculum Vitaes, and Letters of recommendation. I'm truly swamped!
It doesn't sound like much, but each thing is so important in its own right, it takes me forever to craft and edit each one. Oh, and then there are the daily reviews for WDC and Mainstream (Mainstream has been suffering, and indeed, it is my guilt over that, that has inspired me to compartmentalize my subjects, responsibilities, and assignments.) Hopefully the better organization will ease the burden and make for more polished products in all arenas.
Easter is Sunday, and that means the family will all be together. *sigh* It's funny. Even though I was so sad when everyone went off to start their own lives, when we all get together, it's, well, it's so wild and crazy (to coin a phrase) that when it's over and the quiet comes, I can't, for the life of me fathom how I lived my every day with such bedlam around me. Say, you don't suppose this means I've gotten used to my oldest four not being here anymore? Naaaaaaaaaaaaah...!
