I just dug through my 190 posts (!), and I can't believe I haven't written about this observation yet. I can remember talking to a couple of reps at my last job and a few weeks ago I spoke to a few account coordinators about it. And, in my first job, I was known as the Head… Continue reading Hearts and Heads, and On Knowing When Someone is Using One or the Other

So I snuck into the OMMA conference…
...ok, so not really. But they did stream it online and at that particular time at that particular day, there were no conference calls or feedback or research I had to do, and so I got to listen. And while the panelists had great things to say, the conversation sparked a thought I had. So,… Continue reading So I snuck into the OMMA conference…
My First Press Release Since I Interned at AAA
Back in 2003/2004 I interned in the Public Relations department at AAA National Headquarters. You may remember my work - I wrote the releases on the new 5 diamond restaurants and hotels that year, I updated the research finds for the holiday driving season, and I did something about a pets and travel book. Yeah,… Continue reading My First Press Release Since I Interned at AAA
SMS and Short Codes – Something I Whipped Up Last Week
In my endeavor to remember everything I used to do, when a colleague asked about short codes, I did a whole write up on SMS in general. So, because it's very generic and doesn't reference any clients, I thought I'd share. 🙂 Overview of Short Codes for Mobile What is SMS? Short Message Service (SMS)… Continue reading SMS and Short Codes – Something I Whipped Up Last Week

Two Juxtapositions of a Woman
This is a re-post from something I wrote for the Femfessionals Orlando group that I belong to. If you live in Orlando and are a lady, you should think about joining the private Facebook group and maybe even becoming a member! It's my most favorite organization I'm a part of (and I'm a part of… Continue reading Two Juxtapositions of a Woman
The Hunt for THE DRESS
It is helpful that I enjoy being the center of attention because that's what the Big Day is about, right? So I shouldn't have been surprised when my Village and I went wedding dress shopping and they literally put me on a pedestal. This day, my Village consisted of my three bridesmaids, my Man of… Continue reading The Hunt for THE DRESS
My Happiness Project
Who doesn't want to add a little more happiness in their life? I finished the book "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin. She is a writer who had a pretty nice life and she felt pretty happy, but there were some things she new that she could/should possibly do to make her life even happier.… Continue reading My Happiness Project
MIA: Marriage In Acceleration
So I've been MIA from my blog for a little bit. Missing In Action, or, as my priorities are going, Marriage In Acceleration. I'm engaged! My Partner In Crime asked the question on Valentine's Day. And, of course, since I'm a planner at heart (media, group activities, my life, etc), we had already determined a… Continue reading MIA: Marriage In Acceleration
The Trifecta of “Wild”
For the past two months my mind has been on Wild, by Cheryl Strayed. The Heart of Florida United Way Women's Leadership Council had Ms. Strayed speak at their luncheon at the end of February. In anticipation for the event, I listened to her book via Audible. Win #1 - The Book Cheryl enters the… Continue reading The Trifecta of “Wild”
