I just got back from a 3 day prayer and meditation retreat. Cell phones were not allowed and nor was there computer access. The retreat was held in a leafy suburb of Boston. The grounds were magnificent! Even though the Boston suburbs are built up, once you were on the property, you felt as though […]

The décor for the Future M conference was, appropriately, futuristic. For pictures see, My week at Future M.  And not surprisingly, the theme was the future of marketing. Here are some main points from the first keynote talk, “Innovation in Technology” by Brian David Johnson, Futurist and Principal Engineer at Intel. We can turn anything […]

I just finished up a fantastic week learning all about the future of marketing. Wow, with technology changing nearly every day, things in the business world change quickly too. I will be doing a series of posts about what I learned, but to start things off, I thought you all would enjoy hearing (or should […]

Information overload

We are bombarded with information, images and stuff. Just one email from a content marketing firm has about 20 article links. I find myself so overwhelmed that I no longer even open the email. I just hit delete. I can’t even be bothered to open the email, scroll down through all the stuff and hit […]

I am so fortunate to live in Boston, where the tech and marketing community is so vibrant. There are just so many wonderful networking and learning opportunities here. One organization that has created some great events is MITX, the Massachusetts Innovation and Technology Exchange. Unfortunately, some recent events have made me change my opinion of […]

Hangin’ out with Google

Do you hang out? I don’t think I ever just hung out, even when I was a teenager. Unless you count quietly reading a book all afternoon. I could never see the point of just sitting and doing nothing, even if I was in the company of good friends. Google, which will soon take over […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
