San Francisco: An Update
It’s been almost nine months to the day since I made the big move out to San Francisco. It’s pretty remarkable how quickly the time flies when you’re having the time of your life chasing your dreams.
It’s a work/life balancing act.
The lovely Miss Lizzy Marie asked me the other day about how I “unplug.” She said, “since you’re the QUEEN of social media, how do you balance that with your life? I love my blog! I love my twitter fam! I love how connected I am! But sometimes I just want to have...My (Digital) Vision Board
A vision board is typically a poster board on which you paste or collage images that you’ve torn out from various magazines. My physical vision board is a work in progress, but I thought I’d give you all a little insight.
Everything is Good in Moderation: How to Get the Most Out of Your Moderation Tool

As the New Year approaches, it seems as though it’s a theme in the blogosphere to be writing about their New Year resolutions. Yes… I want to join a gym, lose 20 pounds, be a better person, blah blah blah. But let’s be real here for a second.
Business and the art of listening
It may seem as though I have been neglecting you, but, like everyone else in the home-stretch of Q4, I’ve been so busy. In fact, I went on my first business trip!
