Bold and Better is social commentary and how to do everything better. Organizing your life or labeling your feelings – it’s all here.
I listen to a lot of podcasts, way too many I think. One of them referenced another podcast (which is how I got to “way too many”) that always ends the interview with the same question: How do you define GREATNESS? That’s a wonderful question! I’d like to hear a lot of responses to this…

I am waiting for someone to create an iPhone app that will allow my scanned coupons to work with my grocery list. I’d love to be able to select “lunch meat” and have the app tell me, “You have a scanned coupon for that. Note it in shopping list?” so that while I”m shopping I’ll…
