It took me until my 40’s to be real. Up until then, I was following what I thought I “should” be doing. Now I follow my heart. And you know what? I’m happier and more successful. It’s also about being authentic. We keep hearing that for social media to be effective, you must be authentic. […]
I’m torn about summer coming to an end. On one hand, I will miss all the hours of daylight. I love getting up early – can we say 4 am?. By the time I’m done with my healthy breakfast at 5 am, it’s already getting light outside. On the other hand, this has been a […]
Why blog? For me, the reasons are many: to improve my writing, to create an effective online presence, to learn more about technology, to add structure to my life. And the list goes on. Blogging is also about connecting with others. This came true for me in a very special way recently when I reconnected […]
Dear Colleague, Even though it’s been almost 20 years since we’ve worked together, I’m glad we keep in touch periodically. I do enjoy hearing what you’re doing. We’ve helped each other over the years and I’m grateful for that. I’m glad you’ve found a new career. I wish you much success. I’m not glad that […]
What happens when you combine WordCamp with New York City? An excellent adventure! WordCamp NYC 2012 came back after an 18 month hiatus. The fun took place June 9 – 10 at Baruch College. This WordCamp was blast for so many reasons. Not only did I learn some new blogging tips at WordCamp NYC 2012, […]
At first glance yoga and business seem to be exact opposites. To use yoga terms, yin and yang. Yoga is about feeling calm and centered, while business is about being alert and winning. That may be true, but if you dig deeper, you’ll see it’s much more than that. I’m currently doing an 108 day […]
Unless you live in a cave, you’ve heard about Facebook’s IPO on May 18th. To say there’s been a lot of controversy surrounding this is an understatement. The facts: May 18th stock valued at $38.00 per share May 18th Market Value = $100 billion. (yes, that’s a billion, not a million!) This was the second […]
I started out to write a blog post about “How to Use Google +” but I got sidetracked. As a person who loves technology and who wants to stay current with the latest trends, I dutifully signed up for Google + when it was still in its beta stage. I then promptly forgot about it. […]
At one time or another, we all long for the “good old days,” whatever that means. It’s all too easy to get wrapped up in the past and what might have been. We regret things we did or didn’t do. This point was driven home for me with a recent experience. I got the call […]
I am sitting here, fidgeting away. I tore some cartilage in my hip and I can’t move as much as I would like. I could use this as an excuse to drown my sorrows in food or to be distracted from my job search. Instead, I’m rev’ed up and full of energy. Why? How my […]
