If you have a story you’d like to share in a guest post, please contact me here. Today’s post is written by Laura Click A little more than one year ago, […]
Facebook For Social Media Introverts
You are horrified by the oversharing taking place on Facebook. Maybe that’s an exaggeration, but let’s say you avoid it because it renders those old feelings from junior high when you felt vulnerable. Perhaps you think you have to be witty and interesting but aren’t (or don’t think you are.) Mostly, sharing on Facebook just goes […]
Walking in My Grandmother’s Shoes
I inherited my Gramma Jean’s pink crocs last month. They’re big shoes to fill but I intend to serve her well. I actually never think about my legacy but today, my Grandmother would have turned 90 and I’ve been thinking a lot about hers and subsequently my own. As I sat through her funeral service, a few […]
Taking Risks and Hoping Like Hell They Pay Off
Some of you have already heard my story about Counselors Academy so I understand if you want to move on – there is a distinct possibility I have told it about 1,549 times. For those of you who haven’t, I’d like to talk about taking risks and hoping like hell they pay off. I started Big […]
The Best Part of The Race
The starting line adrenaline/jitters were coursing through my body, and I was excited to be racing again. I was entered for the 15K and we were lined up for the Schweitzer Nordic Extreme Race. My friend Alex gave my skate skis the wax love and I had my breakfast of soft boiled eggs on sweet […]
Three Lessons From Cleaning The Cobwebs

Where they are coming from? What they are looking at? I thought so. I want to thank Adria Saracino for guest posting for me […]
Why Simple Really is Better in your Messaging
Today, I’d like to share a story about treating your newbie market with care and why it’s important to dumb your message down for the masses. I’m working on getting wine labels printed for a client. (And when I say “client” I actually mean my amazing husband who is a winemaker and has a startup […]
TripAdvisor vs. Foursquare For Your Business
“What is the difference between TripAdvisor and Foursquare, and where should I focus my attention?” This is a question I get frequently from small business owners. You know I’m about to answer this question with the word “depends,” don’t you? The real question is, are you, a small business owner taking advantage of the local and […]
Differentiate and Be Nice to the Bag Boys
The bag boys at the grocery store hate me. I bring my own bags for a reason. That means I don’t want my wine in it’s own bag, and I don’t need ice cream in an additional bag. I watch and “make suggestions,” and generally drive them up a wall. The ladies at the shop […]
