I didn’t mean for tonight’s blogging to be all about domestic violence — I actually have a list of other interesting topics that I promise I will get to! But, I just came across this link and wanted to share it with you. One of the most frequently asked questions pertaining to domestic violence goes […]

Social Media for Social Good
My husband and I had a realization about our relationship. I am the “dot org” and he is the “dot com.” We balance each other well. At the end of the day, we both want to help people … he’s just much better at all the “business” type stuff. Me? I’d give everything away for […]

Make Lists Online
I am a listmaker. I love the sense of accomplishment that comes when I can cross something off my list. I’ve tried to switch over to the Outlook tasks and other online list programs, but it never works. I always go back to paper. But, yesterday, I discovered an amazing online tool that can help […]

Gobble, Gobble!
Happy Thanksgiving! We are well on our way to our first “Mr. & Mrs.” Thanksgiving … the turkey is in the oven, stuffing made and ready to be heated and homemade apple pie already baked. I have lots to be thankful this year — as do you, I’d guess. One of the things I’m thankful […]

Today, I came across a new kind of blog — one that details a mother experiencing a tragedy. The Domestic Diva blogs about her new clothes line and her get-togethers with friends, […]

Spread Holiday Cheer
I may bemoan the fact that Christmas decorations and music are out in full force before Thanksgiving, but this is one holiday-related message that I had to pass along. As you make your Christmas list this year, don’t just add family and friends. Take a moment to thank those who won’t have the opportunity to […]

The secret to blogging … and Thanksgiving lessons
I attended the PRSA seminar today on how to use social media (like blogging, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) during crisis communication. It was an interesting session and if you want to learn more about the nuts and bolts of the discussion check out the Costa DeVault blog tomorrow. In the meantime, I thought I’d write about […]

Be Happy Go Lucky
I’m going to see a new movie tonight. Happy Go Lucky is playing at the local independent movie theater that I’m slightly obsessed with. At its core, the movie is about this woman who is happy all the time — even when things start to go wrong. I’ll let you know what I think about […]
