David and I had an interesting conversation last night. After returning from trick-or-treating with a pile of candy, I mentioned that none of it was tempting to me. Which, if you know me and chocolate, is a rare state of affairs. I’ve been on a major health kick lately. Green smoothies, lots of protein, no…
Oh my word, blog friends. Would it be ok with you if I just wrote a scattered blog post? Just something so jam-packed full of everything that’s been going on? No dots to connect, just a brain dump. Is that ok? Thanks. First of all, I’m still fresh off the plane from two days away…

There’s probably an e-course for that. Need to strengthen your brand voice? E-course. Marketing? Read any number of the amazing…
Authenticate. It’s a word I say every day. More and more, every day. I might be up to hundreds of times a day, saying, or thinking that single word. It continues to deepen in meaning for me.
