Marketing Trends – it’s all about people

October 15, 2014

I was laughing to myself the entire time I was at the Inbound Conference; we all wanted to learn about the latest trends. Marketing is all about people. Oh yes, that was an earth shattering revelation. I’ve been in the business world over 25 years and it is fascinating to me to see how some […]

How I spent my September

October 8, 2014

A slightly different twist than “How I spent my summer vacation.” Well you all know how I spent my summer – kayaking and eating Blizzards from the Dairy Queen. Now it’s time to buckle down and get serious. Fall is my favorite time of year; I have so much energy because of the clear, crisp […]

How to lose a customer in 3 easy steps

October 1, 2014

It’s not enough to have polite and nice people doing customer service. There should also be follow-through and results. A recent experience with our cable company brought this point home to me. Everyone loves to hate their cable company. I don’t think there is any cable company that is known for even mediocre service. We […]

Why I love fall

September 24, 2014

I love Fall! I love everything about it! As much as I would love to spend my days kayaking and hiking and taking in all the beauty of the season, I do want to focus on more serious things too. Fall is also an excellent time to shake up your marketing. Here’s what I love […]

How do you know when it’s time for a change?

September 17, 2014

Change is hard and it is scary. But it can also be exhilarating. I got to thinking about this as I change my exercise rotation. I’ve had a very successful run at doing barre (ballet-type) exercises. I think it’s time for a change though and so I’ve been doing P90X3. (Which stands for Power 90 […]

The little plant that could

September 10, 2014

The driveway is pavement and the garage floor is concrete. There is the smallest space where they meet. The sun beats down on this every day. There must be all of a teaspoon of soil in the space. Yet, a little seed landed here took root. The portulaca is flourishing. Who would have thought? Seeing […]

A day in the life of Mr. Ken

September 3, 2014

I have shared with you what my typical day is like, What is your perfect day? Now I thought I would share what my dear husband’s day is like. 6:00 AM — Wake up and go for a walk. Now dear Mr. Ken is not really a morning person, so this was quite a surprise […]

Is it luck or is it something else?

August 27, 2014

I’ll admit it, I am envious of people I consider to be lucky. Everything seems to go their way. They have the perfect job, the perfect family and the perfect life. Well, not really, since you never know what other people are facing. I have started using Facebook to follow and interact with my favorite […]

Rocks under the water

August 20, 2014

We’ve had an awesome kayaking season this year; the weather has been great and the temperatures very comfortable. The cooler temperatures are a very good thing since I wear long sleeved SPF-50 shirts and they can be pretty uncomfortable when it gets hotter. We’ve mainly kayaked on the Charles River. Every time we go there, […]

Expensive doesn’t always mean better

August 13, 2014

Sure, if you shop at high end stores like Nordstrom’s and Tiffany’s, you expect good service, but you don’t have to break the bank to get this kind of service. My new favorite store is Ocean State Job Lot. These are like Dollar Stores, where everything is pretty cheap. I love this store almost as […]
