I’ve been radio silent lately. That’s kind of a big duh. Figuring out my way and who I want to be is a constant struggle. And there is nothing worse than writing when you don’t know any of that. And there is the fact that I’ve moved a big chunk of my posts elsewhere. Yes, [...]
I did something crazy
Okay, so I do a lot of crazy things. But this is probably the craziest things I’ve ever done. Crazy in a good way, but still crazy. At the ripe old age of 31, I realized what I wanted to be when I grew up. I moved slowly towards that goal, but almost every movement [...]
Forget about the PR Opp
My client said something to me a couple of weeks ago that has been rattling around in my head: “She gave them cookies. Not because she was thinking of the PR, but because that’s just who she is.” This was in regards to a blogger that I sent up there. My client took her to [...]
Hire Casey
Something I believe firmly in is that I should always attempt to treat others better than they treat me. That’s right. I didn’t say as well. I said better. But there are times that it’s beyond hard. And this is one of those times. Casey Canevari has been great to me. He never had to be. [...]

Me in a nutshell
Soon after I graduated college and I was still new to living in Ohio as a permanent resident, I received an emergency phone call. A camera crew needed to film a phone bank ASAP and they were having trouble locating people that were willing to give up their Saturday night. I agreed, even though I [...]
Would it help if I said that I have cancer instead of depression?
Hi society! I just wanted to tell you that I do in fact have a mental illness that I will most likely have to treat for the rest of my life. It’s like cancer, except it’s not. But telling you that I have a mental illness makes you weary of me. I’m not weak. I [...]
Be Prepared for the Social Media Apocalypse
Something I don’t think we think enough about is that none of the networks we’re on are permanent. They could go away tomorrow and what would you honestly have then? For most of us, the answer is not much. We spend hours agonizing over Facebook, years come off our lives as we scan Twitter and [...]
How Coach is doing it right
Last month, my niece had a big birthday. She was turning 18 and I was thinking it was time to slap a chastity belt on her. Instead, our conversations turned to presents: Me: What do you want? Her: I don’t know. Me: Then send me a list of books. Her: No, I want you to [...]
Where to get those blogging topics
I’ve been seeing a series of blog posts lately with lists of things to blog on. That’s nice. It’s swell. And not really helpful to me. But maybe it would be to you. I guess. Oh I don’t know. Anyways, I have a few places where I get my blog topics and I thought I’d [...]
