i hate flickr

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 […]

where to get blooging ideas

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 […]

new marketing trends

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

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 schedule and change life

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 […]

kayak into the wind

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 […]

keep up momentum

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 career

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 […]

joy in simple things

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 […]

happy shopper at costco

I normally don’t like grocery shopping. It’s a chore and it’s annoying and tiring. I have now found that I love going to Costco. For my international friends, Costco is a large warehouse club. Everything is sold in BIG quantities; you can’t just go in and buy a 1 ounce bag of M & M’s […]
