7 Years

Coalition has been in business for over 7 years now and tonight I am taking the team out to happy hour to celebrate. Building this company has been the largest project of my life so far. I work on it most days including weekends. Lots of days I put in 11-14 hours. I have dealt with many nightmares (lawsuits, bad employees, bad clients), as well as celebrated many successes (over 70 full time team members now, romylms.com… read more “7 Years”

Makeup is Sexist

I saw a photo of a female CEO in the news today and she looked like a clown. Bright red lips, purple eye makeup. The weird thing is I just thought that was normal at first till I thought about it more.

Chile Lime Watermelon

Laurel came up with an amazing dish for me I have been eating every weekend for a weeks now. It is simply watermelon chopped up into pieces with Trader Joe’s Chile Lime Seasoning Blend sprinkled on top. So tasty!

As a Wells Fargo business customer, I also experienced their reps trying to push sketchy accounts and sales on me. I would love to switch banks, but we have hundreds of outside accounts (customers, employees, vendors, other accounts payable) linked in to Wells Fargo.… read more “Leaving Wells Fargo”

Knee Pain

I have had some pain in the outside of my right knee for a few weeks now. It got especially bad over the weekend, so I have stopped running for now. I am hoping it is just an IT band issue that with some rest and added stretching / strengthening gets better. Did some research on it and have been doing some little strengthening things.
