In the past, work was a location. People drove to work, clocked in and out, and when they left the office, they didn’t return to their work until the following morning. Trying to maintain a healthy work/life balance in a tech overloaded world where everything is...
Co-working spaces are growing in popularity, especially with the increase in freelance and remote work. While working from home has its benefits, many times people find themselves needing to get out of the house to be in the company of other people. Some co-working...
Okay, not really. I can actually work in an office just fine. I've worked in places with amazing co-workers, felt good about the work I was doing there, and am grateful for all the opportunities that I've had. I've learned valuable lessons from every single one of...
Hi. Hello. It's me, the marketer who doesn't write in her own blog. It's something I think about just about every day, of course. I start the day with good intentions, and other things get in the way. Mostly myself. The last six and a half months have rocked me to my...

"Always give a little more than you promise." I'm not sure where the original artwork or the quote itself came from, but it's been circling around Pinterest for some time. I think that in business, there are fewer GREAT ways to build a loyal customer base. It's such a...
I have not written nearly as much as I would have liked this year, but I wanted to make a point to at least write about some of the things that helped shape and bring together all of the good that has happened to me in 2012. Here are a few of those somethings. I'm...
I think that's how that goes, anyway. If you're looking for a post full of sunshine and rainbows, this ain't it. I got some pretty crappy news today about our upcoming family-growing plans, and I'm still pretty pissed about it. Here's the lowdown (from what I've...
