I struggle to remain a sole person at my business, as I want my clients, who are all important to me, to get ME on the phone, to have ME to deal with if they need something and for ME to be the one to do the work for them. While this seem selfish, i.e, [...]

If I knew then about what the online and tech industry would have to do to stay on top of everything in terms of new and emerging marketing, technology, social networking, web 2.0 and the new industry standards. I am not sure whether I would have changed careers or not. I try to spend at [...]

I was reminded of my step-daughter this morning and the “outfit” nails thing.

I have to make this comment about Chefs that don’t run spell check on their menus. I HAD to run spell check on my menus when I was cooking because not only am I a terrible speller, I am dyslexic as all get out. I wish I was kidding!
This post is prompted by one of [...]
