Hi everyone, I'm getting back into things. Graham has returned to work this morning (although he was reluctant :-D) and I'm spending the rest of this month just sorting through emails, accounts, updating myself on everything and then back with clients from 1st July. Thank you to those team members who supported my clients in my absence - very much appreciated. I've uploaded the FoVA photos I took to my Facebook profile and I invite you to go and have a look. I'll gradually add all the names … [Read more...]

Pardon my absence but I’m on leave…
I will go back to posting regularly in July but for this month I'm now well and truly on holidays, in beautiful Canada. It began with the FoVA conference in Niagara Falls in the first week of this month but then Graham and I joined a tour to explore Canada on the west coast. We're currently in Banff and moving onto Lake Louise tomorrow. If you're interested in reading about our travels and seeing some of the photos, then please visit my family blog at http://www.thomases.org. I'll catch up … [Read more...]
What Type of Logo Should You Have for Your Business?
I have guest poster Ben Johnson sharing on the importance of the type of logo for your business. Your logo really is the proverbial "calling card" for your business. A potential customer or client will make that all important first impression many times based on the appearance, style and design of your business logo. Understanding the importance of your business logo, you may be wondering what you actually should have, what you should include within the design of that logo. Through this … [Read more...]
Two industry leaders together
Just thought I'd quickly share with you a photo of myself and Sharon Williams at FoVA09 together. Sharon and I've known each other for many years but up till this week had never met face-to-face so it was a joy to meet her and have my photo taken with her. She and I, and other industry leaders, will be on a discussion panel this morning at the event, before my husband and I head off to Vancouver to join a tour and enjoy a holiday. I've been limited for time online so will report more later … [Read more...]
FoVA 2009
It is the evening of 2nd June in Canada and tonight my husband and I met for the first time, some VAs from the US and Canada. Barb Lang, founder of FoVA, coordinated this 2nd annual event and tonight the first comers got together for dinner at Vinnies. Below is a photo of the group but I can't remember everyone's names so I'll have to tag them all later. It is exciting to meet face-to-face some names I've known online for sometime and have a chat with them over a meal - the best way to bond … [Read more...]

Interview with Craig Cannings
You have seen several interviews of clients who use Virtual Assistants. This interview is about a man who saw a way to work with Virtual Assistants and assist them in their workplace training. Please tell my readers a bit about who you are and what you do. My name is Craig Cannings and I have had the privilege of working virtually as a Internet Marketing Consultant, Blogger and Entrepreneur since 2003. I actually have three young daughters who have never known their Dad to work "outside" the … [Read more...]
The Miriam Rose
Some of my VA Team have provided their love and support to myself and my family over the past few months, since the loss of our daughter Miriam. The ways they have shown this have blown both my husband and I away and they have been so kind. I had been told sometime ago there was still one more gift to come and it arrived about a week ago. It was live and had been in quarantine and I couldn't even imagine what it could be. But I soon discovered it to be a rose bush and it is a Floribunda Rose … [Read more...]
