How to Outshine Your Competition Whether you’re dating, in business, or in any other kind of competition with a slew of other “suitors”, the only way to outshine your competition is to promise–and deliver–more than they’re delivering. Yes, that sounds daunting. But it’s entirely do-able. Lots of businesses and entrepreneurs are doing[…]
This Valentine’s Day, Meet #DeForestKelley, a Real Sweetheart One of the appellations applied most often to DeForest Kelley was “sweet”. It fits. So does sassy, sensitive, compassionate, funny, composed, elegant, and gentlemanly. What fans resonated to when meeting him was his genuine niceness.

When DeForest Kelley’s biographer Terry Lee Rioux asked me, “How did you go from being a fan–on the outermost reaches[…]
While the sun was out briefly this afternoon, I took my six goats out behind their fenced pasture to chew on some winter foliage. While they did that, my new kitty Hunter joined me (on my lap) to “knead” puncture wounds into my knees through my jeans. I vetoed that idea immediately and re-directed his[…]
My power partner Lisa Twining Taylor (website developer, social media maven) told me I should write about my dedication to customer service and satisfaction after I took several trips to The UPS Store doing my best to honor a single commitment I made to a German fan of DeForest Kelley. It didn’t seem like[…]
