Her Mind. 'Tis the name of a magazine, not promises of insight in a female-identifying person. Other than if you were to want to read the magazine's article about me and my role as the Director of Communications and Engagement for a large local business.
Oh, that was an interesting one. The magazine's editor begged me,…
I grew up with parents who, in the ‘70s, were fairly healthy and health-oriented. My parents did international folk dancing for their exercise and socializing; my mom gardened, composted and made every meal at home (when I say “every” meal, I mean that literally, save the one or two times per year we got treated…
An SEO-driven firm was launching a campaign to reach out to public relations professionals who understood, valued and needed search engine optimization and site traffic improvement for their clients. This here is the doc written to support that conversation.
Business Benefits of SEO for PR Agencies - by Jessie Newburn
As one who has been more at the edge of what's coming in trends, business shifts, cultural change and whatnot, I have come to understand that the WHEN you do something is often just as important -- or at least relevant -- as WHAT you did.

A New York Times article addressed how “everything is for sale,” and it was looking at how celebrities are marketing their brand, among other subjects.
Who knew? Who knew? Who knew That it was even possible to have Oreo cookies that are #LadyGagaInspired?

Talk about random. Earlier today, for whatever reason, I had been thinking about the American City Girls, a local network building, party-focused, notecard-espousing, social technology amplifying adventure I did years back with the lovely Cherie Beck.
Because I've been on a mostly private, life-long mission to destroy my art and writing -- to erase it from…
We all get our small pleasures in life: the little things we enjoy simply because we enjoy them. For me, one of them is watching the birds outside my large sliding glass doors that open up to a nice vista and Lake Elkhorn beyond.
I don’t know much about birds and sometimes wonder if I’d like…
It was a moment in time. The meme world was on fire. I took advantage of it. And a friend, of their own initiation, did a nice job photoshopping me into the perfect background.
I have a most-beautiful view from where I live.
I look out over Lake Elkhorn in Columbia, Maryland. (Well, I see the lake more fully when trees have lost their summer green, as they have long since now.)
I like to take full advantage of my view and spend a lot of my daylight, in-the-house hours looking…
For organizations, large and small
Does your business have projects done routinely but the steps aren’t sufficiently documented?
Is employee turnover slowing you down and causing lost knowledge on project tasks?
Would you be more profitable if your business had more concrete, documented processes for your team to follow (and fewer missed steps and mistakes to correct)?

There was a time in my life when I lived in a small group home, and when I lived there, we had visions of hosting various events, concerts, workshops and such. We did host a few events, and in the process of doing them, needed to create a checklist of activities to do to prepare…
The whole pork taboo thing.
Not that I've delved into it and its origins, so much. More that I just never really saw much logic in the explanations given and meant to deny folks one of the tastier meat options on this planet. I mean, bacon, pork chops, sausage. These things are, imo, near divine…
