Blog Transition Time Period And Fortune Cookies
Now that I took a day job, I’ve been wondering what I should post about. Should I post about my new job or other stuff? It also takes time to write meaningful posts and time is harder to come by now. My new job has a lot to do with helping entrepreneurs or I should say it will once I get past the administrative day-to-day stuff of getting up to speed.
So in the meantime until I figure it all out, I’ve thought about posting about the fortune cookies I get when I go to Chinese restaurants or other restaurants who for some reason hand out fortune cookies.Â
Hey, the last time I blogged about fortune cookies, I almost got mentioned in the New York Times! It started with Comments and Fortune Cookies, went on to Those Darn Fortune Cookies, and ended up with Portuguese Fortune Cookies.
So, a couple of weeks ago I was having lunch with one of my business advisors at a Chinese restaurant in this place in Austin called Davenport village, and I got the following fortune:
“You can’t ride in all directions at one time.”
We both thought it was appropriate considering what was going on in my life. Of course, I then thought to myself ‘well all directions isn’t the same as two three directions’ and ‘there’s no point in going no direction.’ 
So here I go (the multi-tasker that I am) attempting to go one direction with a few detours here and there along the way…

Oh, I hear you. We web “divas” seem to all have the same personality types, don’t we? Maybe it comes with being a mom? We’re forced to multi task all day, every day. It just becomes second nature. So, in business, if we’re not creating, learning, networking, negotiating, worrying, dreaming, and all the other “ings” we wouldn’t know what to do with ourselves. How’s that for a theory.

I have the same dilemma. I’m also a working mom but I’m sure you’re as talented as the next mom to pull this one through. WE moms, had been trained in the best “multi-tasking camp” - Home and motherhood! Congratulations on your new job. Btw, I have a friend who is about to be a new mommy again, I’ll recommend your company. I hope she likes it.
