There is a fellow in my neck of the woods who intermittently drives me up the wall. He calls to pick my brain, asks me to review his seriously substandard copy and give him a price to fix it, and then says he can get another copywriter he knows to do it for less.[…]
Today I’m going to meet with my power partner, social media maven Lisa Twining Taylor, to come up with a blockbuster social media campaign that will extend my present outreach to new DeForest Kelley fans in addition to the ones who already know about my 30-year association with De. Among ours existing social[…]
I feel accomplished. I just finished putting a tarp over the goat shed–the part of it that is under a small, shingled roof. The goats rarely go in there except in super-frigid weather but the roof started leaking in the middle recently. (My bad: for more than a year I stored some four by[…]
Today at a networking meeting I heard from a Reiki master. She talked about how our vibrational levels influence our destinies and our health. Now, none of it was new to me. I’ve always been keenly attuned to my own and other peoples’ vibrational levels and how they affect the people around me and[…]
I sent out my holiday newsletter yesterday. Based on the responses I’m getting already, it surpassed (by far!) newsletters I sent in earlier years.

Today has been a good day. I spent most of it with my power partner, Lisa Twining Taylor (DancingGoatWebDesign.com). One of our colleagues, Dr. Matondo Wawa, took us to lunch at Chili Thai in Puyallup as a belated birthday outing for Lisa (her birthday was October 8th). Thank you, Dr.Mat! After that we[…]
Two days ago I connected on LinkedIn with Elizabeth Copeland. She reviewed this website and sent me a message letting me know how great she thought it was. I asked permission to publish her endorsement of my writing chops because, as an accomplished author and playwright herself, she knows excellent writing when she sees[…]
