Face your fear

July 17, 2013

In my younger days, I was fearless. I went from a small suburban town to living in New York City and I loved every minute of it. Something happened though as I got older. I can’t say it’s because I got wiser; it seems I lost part of my self. The good news is I’m […]

I hate the new Flickr design – what about you?

July 10, 2013

Flickr used to be my go to place for finding images to use in my blog. I’d go in via Creative Commons. It took me a while to figure out which search terms work best, but after a few tries and just coming up with lots of boring pictures of random people, I figured it […]

Anatomy of a blog post

July 3, 2013

So last week I had a creative block, in spite of having a fun and engaging week. Well, it happens. The easy way out would be just skip my blog post for the week, but I really wanted to keep up the momentum of weekly posts. As I was struggling to finalize last week’s post […]

What’s new in marketing

June 26, 2013

Last week was a fun and productive one. I attended a marketing conference and a social media seminar. But, I also had writer’s block and was drawing a complete blank on what to write in my blog this week. So, when all else fails, I write about what I learned. I love going into Boston. […]

Random thoughts at a marketing conference

June 19, 2013

I had a blast at a recent marketing conference in Boston. Why? I love going into the city. I love learning new things, especially about one of my passions, marketing. The thoughts were streaming through my mind the whole day. I thought you all would enjoy seeing how I think. As I’m walking through downtown […]

Change your schedule and change your life

June 12, 2013

Being a creature of habit, I love having a set schedule because it keeps me productive and happy. That being said, it’s good to mix things up once in a while. I’m a morning person and I especially love to exercise in the morning. If I had my way, Mr. Ken and would be out […]

Kayaking into the wind

June 5, 2013

Yay, the warm weather is here and kayaking can begin. I love kayaking more than anything. Well, maybe not more than Peeps. We went out kayaking on Memorial Day. It was sunny and the temperature was a perfect 70 degrees. Ah yes, but the wind was pretty fierce. Picture paddling like mad, only you’re moving […]

How to keep the momentum going

May 29, 2013

I’m still glowing from my successful consulting project. I feel energized, happy and confident. My next challenge is to keep this momentum going. How will I do that? I’ve heard that every time you take action, it’s easier to keep going. It’s something to do with the laws of the universe and molecules in motion. […]

Volunteer and help your career

May 22, 2013

I am winding down my non-profit volunteer consulting project. I am sad to see it end. I helped a local non-profit figure out a strategic plan for expanding internationally. I really enjoyed my team mates and I just love the client. I did this work because I wanted to give back to the community. We […]

Finding joy in simple things

May 15, 2013

We’ve all heard it said that the simple things are the best. I’m finding this to be true more and more. We all are busy; we all are overwhelmed by technology. It’s time to stop, take a deep breath and look around you. Find the beauty and peace in your surroundings and inside you. So […]
