LoriAnn's Cafe: How Rudolph Got Hired

http://loriannscafe.blogspot.com/2016/12/how-rudolph-got-hired.html

View my complete profile. Monday, December 05, 2016. How Rudolph Got Hired. One of my favorite Christmas movies is the beloved holiday classic, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. The undeniably loveable, wobbly legged reindeer with his shiny red nose. I was three when I was first introduced to Rudolph. Four decades later and after two decades in the Talent Acquisition industry, I’ve come to look at the story of Rudolph from a whole different lens. His shiny red nose. If we want to hire innovative, creative ...

LoriAnn's Cafe: Turning 50

http://loriannscafe.blogspot.com/2015/04/turning-50.html

View my complete profile. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. This past weekend, with cherished friends and loved ones around, I celebrated a milestone birthday of turning fifty. Even saying the phrase “I’m fifty” makes me shake my head in disbelief. Where did this fifty come from? I don’t feel fifty and I’d like to humbly (but proudly) believe I don’t look it. Back when I was the tender age of ten, fifty seemed like an eternity away. Well, it appears that eternity, in all of its matured glory, has finally arrived.

LoriAnn's Cafe: A Tale of Two Missions

http://loriannscafe.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-tale-of-two-missions.html

View my complete profile. Monday, April 06, 2015. A Tale of Two Missions. A few weekends back I set out on a mission to my local furniture store to procure a new couch and side chair for my living room. After several years of my former couch being nothing more than a glorified doggie bed, smells and dog slobber included, I decided it was time to bite the bullet and buy and new set. It’s always comical to walk into a furniture store and watch the sales sharks circle you like your chum. His name was Manny.

View my complete profile. Sunday, July 13, 2014. Broken Into But Not Stolen. Last Friday evening I returned home from a wonderful 4. Since the intrusion, I have walked through my home with sage and claimed each room back. My friend Susie is a reiki master and has signed on to reiki the house as well. It’s our way of proclaiming to the universe that we can be shaken but not broken. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Broken Into But Not Stolen. The weak can never forgive.

LoriAnn's Cafe: Farewell Lenny

http://loriannscafe.blogspot.com/2015/03/farewell-lenny.html

View my complete profile. Sunday, March 01, 2015. Lenny and Stephen circa 2000. About two weeks ago, my son and I had the painful task of having to put our beloved beagle, Lenny, to sleep. Lenny gave us fifteen amazingly great years of unconditional doggy love. He was fiercely loyal coupled with a tender, sweet spirit. Those of you who are dog owners know all too well that the loss of dog is alike to losing a family member. I have so many special memories of Lenny but one stands out above the rest. It&#8...

LoriAnn's Cafe: First Steps

http://loriannscafe.blogspot.com/2015/08/first-steps.html

View my complete profile. Wednesday, August 05, 2015. I remember the day my son took his first steps. I was sitting on the floor in our family room across from my then mother-in-law as we passed a helium balloon back and forth. E. Namored by the balloon and determined to take hold of it, my son promptly pushed himself up on his feet and attempted to walk toward the latex sphere. Fear of falling was not even a remote option because he had his eye on the prize of procuring the balloon. He had recently star...
