It’s quite a story!
Find out my thoughts on how a city government created a PR blunder with unmonitored accounting and a bad attitude. And guess who’s the victim: a 74-year-old blind lady!
I am also really excited because one of my favorite e-newsletter publishers, The Publicity Hound, read the post and commented! I feel like I’ve [...]

As this time of year rolls around, I always look forward to a day devoted to giving thanks. I guess it started back when I was a kid in school–I always looked forward to the break from hard work, from the daily grind. We always had relaxing Thanksgiving holidays at our house. My grandma would [...]

As many of you know I’ve been working from home the last several months since I left my job at NAED. I have a great workspace with a window, a 24″ monitor, places for my files, and my new ScanSnap document scanner.
I also have this lamp which I inherited from Brett. It is a nice [...]

Pretty cool, ehh? I would vote for him a heartbeat!

Can you guess what this photo is? It’s an extreme close-up of an every day object.
Brett passed along this link to share from SmashingMagazine.com. I checked it out this morning, and it is fun to see the amazing details that a macro photo can reveal.
A feast for the eyes! Check it out. This photo [...]

Are you getting (and giving) enough hugs? Remember, the hug goes both ways!
