Linda Sherman on Push the Reset Button Show with Nina Price

November 6th I enjoyed an interview with Nina Price, licensed acupuncturist, business and wellness coach. You can hear it here

Linda Sherman:How A High Powered Expat Exec Reinvented Herself As She Returned from Overseas

Nina Price has found a great name "Push the Reset Button" for a show featuring folks who have reinvented themselves after the age of 40.

Actually, I've reinvented myself several times. Working abroad, and all that entailed, was a reinvention in itself.

I developed principles I live by in my late 20's and they have served me well over the years:

- I appreciate my life right now. It has already turned out. 
- I am responsible and accountable for my life. I am not a victim
- It ain't over till it's over

I wrote a bit about reinvention this week on Boomer Tech Talk. 

This is a description of my return from Japan from my It's Different For Girls blog.

If you wish to call in during the show, the number is: (347) 215-9770

Ben Parr #Snapshot Experiment

Take a photo of what you are doing "now" and tweet it out. @BenParr's tweet

Reactions up to now.

Reminds me of my "View at Work" post.

I chose the Seesmic "Posterous" option for attaching pic with my post.

Speaking of editing Posterous Posts ....

There is a lot to be liked about Posterous but I must admit I miss "draft" and "preview" from WordPress. And being able to bring in images - it would be nice if that were possible from inside Posterous so that everything doesn't HAVE to be an email. Or am I missing something?

Can anyone tell me how to remove the extra line spaces from this post. The extraneous spaces were inflicted through an editing attempt. 

Oh and I'd like to add this photo of me taken at Ray's 8-8-09 birthday party too.

I got Posterous feeding to my WP.org blog as a widget. Thank you Rob La Gesse of RackSpace

I got the idea to do this from Rob La Gesse, @kr8tr, Director of Customer Development for the "Fanatical Support" hosting company RackSpace. Rob and I met on Twitter back in the early golden days.

I saw that Rob had his Posterous on his site as a widget in the right sidebar and I wanted one. I knew that I specifically wanted my casual Posterous posts to show up as a widget and not as regular posts to my blog.

I tweeted about it for several hours before I realized that Rob had already answered me back on Facebook in response to where I had written out what I wanted to do in detail.  In the interim, I can say some very smart guys said "Wow" and gave their opinion on how it could be done and apparently no one seemed to know the easy fix.

I don't think that Posterous currently makes this clear on their site, but here's how to do it, to quote from Rob: (obviously replace with your own Posterous feed).

"In Wordpress go to Appearance, Widgets, drag the RSS widget to one of your sidebars and use your RSS feed (http://lindashermangordon.posterous.com/rss.xml) where it's indicated."

Voila!

Reposted to add images as attachments instead of embedded code from Flickr. Embedded code works for YouTube but not for Flickr. Posterous did give links to the Flickr images though.
