WordPress Love I love using WordPress. It is as easy or as deep as you want it to be. You can spend minutes or hours depending on your need and level of expertise. It’s a great fit for me. If you need a website – for anything – I highly recommend giving WordPress a shot. […]
Owed nothing.
Facebook changing the rules…again. It’s very possible you did not follow a recent change on Facebook if you don’t rely on a Facebook “fan page” for your business. Facebook changed their internal algorithm, so less fans see a fan page’s content unless it’s a paid advertisement (or the page uses paid advertising). When the rules change people complain, and this […]
Baggage weighing you down?
Big trash pick up Saturday was big trash pick up in Shawnee, Kansas. Not special news to most people, but it was spectacular for Kia and I. I was amazed, amused and fascinated by the trucks, trailers and minivans full of other people’s junk. I literally sat on my porch for nearly an hour watching […]
Fear not.

I recently found a USA Today article about artists (those who display their art in galleries and museums) who […]

We have so many streams of information that we are finding it hard to move forward with life and business. Newsweek magazine ran an article in their March 7th print edition about […]
Are you Overwhelmed with Information?
I read an article this week about the growing amount of information coming at us via online services (email, FB, Google, text messages, IM, Skype, etc), and how much energy it takes to keep track of it all. Research shows that the average corporate person receives 110 messages a day (don’t you hate it when […]
