Savor the moment

July 22, 2015

I am one week into a 21 Day Meditation program. The theme is gratitude. It is truly amazing how just 20 minutes of sitting quietly and thinking about gratitude can really change your life and your outlook. It certainly helped me. How many things have you agonized over, yet they never happened? A lot, I […]

Kermit the Kayaker

July 15, 2015

As most of you know, I love kayaking. I love it more than Peeps or even chipmunks. There is nothing like being outside in the sunshine and enjoying nature. Being on the water is so soothing. That being said, I have to be really, really careful in the sun. I spent my teenage years baking […]

Terrapins and terabytes

July 8, 2015

I love exercise. I know that comes as a very BIG surprise to all of you. I also love getting free stuff. Free exercise stuff? I’m in heaven. I was offered some free exercise video downloads in exchange for reviewing them. I get excited when I receive the email with the links to the videos. […]

Stop and sit awhile

July 1, 2015

Ah, the lazy days of summer. Even though it has been many, many years since I’ve been in school, I have never lost that wonderful feeling of summertime. The warm days and bright sunshine just makes things better. That being said, I still need to learn to stop and enjoy the day. I am juggling […]

Customer service fail!

June 17, 2015

I am in the process of changing over my email address from RCN to Gmail. Most of the changes have been painless since all I have to do is sign onto a website and change my email. Not so with the Verizon website. Sure I can sign on and get to the section where my […]

Old is good

June 3, 2015

Most of us are always looking for the next big thing. This is especially true in this age of technology, where we’re always looking ahead to the next new shiny toy. Newer is better than old right? Well, not always. I was reminded of this last week when I spent the day with my oldest […]

Targeted marketing – good or bad?

May 13, 2015

Targeted marketing is a process of identifying potential customers and promoting products and services via mediums that are most likely to reach those customers. Targeting is a marketing buzzword. I dislike buzzwords, heck I even dislike the word “buzzword.”When I did a search for images of “targeted marketing,” all the images showed a dart pointed […]

Reflections on the workplace today

April 29, 2015

I attended one of my fun marketing seminars the other day. It was held in an office near the North End of Boston. It’s a cool place. As I was sitting in the conference room, I watched as the employees came into work. This is what I saw: Well maybe the employees weren’t quite this […]

One space or two?

April 22, 2015

I don’t know if you’ve been keeping up to date on the latest controversy. No, it’s not about the Boston Marathon Bombings or Obamacare or Hillary Clinton, it’s about whether or not you should have one space or two spaces after the end of sentence. Okay, so maybe I spend a little too much time […]

Scary marketing

March 25, 2015

I was going to do a blog post about, “Where’s Waldo?” but that will have to wait. I have to get something off my chest. Here’s an email that I just got: **************************************** Hi Nancy, I hope all is well! My name is Yutaka Yamamoto and I’m with Oracle’s Business Intelligence and Analytics team, as […]
