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 […]

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. […]

Random thoughts on a day spent in Boston

June 10, 2015

Because of my consulting work, I have had to spend many days in Boston. I love going into the city. I have a whole fun routine for these days. I get up insanely early and exercise; I then take the train into Boston. I forgot a book this time, so I was doing a lot […]

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 […]

Now THAT’S great marketing

February 18, 2015

As we are having our 4th big snowstorm in two weeks, I am really, really enjoying my Jessica Smith workouts. Jessica lives and films her workouts in Florida. It is so nice to see palm trees, pretty water views, boats and pelicans. I can pretend that I am somewhere warm. Maybe I should write a […]

Just be nice

February 11, 2015

As I have had to navigate the health care maze for my elderly mother, I can feel my blood pressure going up. There is so much waste and stupidity, yes stupidity in our system! Mom fell and has a very big and nasty gash on her leg. She spent several days in the hospital to […]

Afraid to be alone

January 7, 2015

I sit here on a grey, rainy Christmas Eve afternoon, listening to some beautiful classical Christmas music on the Pandora channel. My favorite hymn is “Oh Holy Night.” I get goosebumps whenever I hear this song. I am listening to Christmas music while typing on the computer. This can be fine, but it got me […]
