Why "A View from the Middle"? Because my home sits on the middle of a hill overlooking a horse ranch. Because I've always considered myself "mid-height" for a woman at 5'2". And because I'm middle-aged looking back on half my life and forward to the rest of it.

Juggling Act

January 27, 2010

No, I don't know how to juggle--at least not in the true sense of the word.  But lately I've been doing a lot of juggling of my various businesses.

I toss the first ball (okay, business) in the air as the sun comes up.  It's usually the Wine Country Charters ball that starts the juggling as I return phone calls, check emails, assign drivers, schedule tours, etc.

Next comes the Virtual Assistant ball (business).  I check on contracts, market businesses, connect with fans, write proposals, and so on.

Then the third ball goes in the air--Tobin James.  I race off to the office to sign up new wine club members, take wine orders, plan events, and the list goes on.

And let's not forget the "family" ball, the "ranch" ball, and the "friends" ball...

I'm getting good at juggling.  Maybe I should run away and join circus!
