When To Put A Blog To Bed

July 19, 2012

I met a great writer recently who just put up a post on his blog potentially “putting it to bed.” He had been at it for over five years and had started feeling drained. I don’t think he’s officially shutting down the site, but he’s stepping back to see how (and if) he can get back […]

What If You Had a Year to Face Your Fears?

July 21, 2011

What if you had a year? What if you had no outside distractions and could focus on just one thing? Perhaps it’s a passion or some kind of personal development. What if it were a fear? A few weeks ago, I saw ex-celebrity blogger Noelle Hancock on “Today.” She had written a book that peaked my […]

Make the Airport Work for You

March 25, 2010

With the potential of spring finally landing, I’m ready for a get away. I’m very excited to plan out trips and think about moving and shaking, but I’m not always excited about the actual travel part. I’ve been delayed in the airport quite a bit. Especially coming back and forth from Minnesota, you stare and […]
