i’m sorry, your audience isn’t here to play

04Feb10

If you’re reading this post, then you probably came here via Twitter. You’re on Twitter, I’m on Twitter, but who isn’t on Twitter – or who’s on Twitter, but not really here (meaning inactive). This (slightly snarky) thought process was sparked by reading, 80%+ Twitter accounts inactive, but core users more committed, courtesy of dirkthecow [...]

self assessment :: identifying areas of improvement

03Feb10

It’s often more natural to assess and identify areas of improvement in others, especially when working with a client or if strategic assessments are part of your professional portfolio – but what about when it comes to you.
A personal heart-to-heart. Have you checked in with yourself lately to identify areas where you can improve? Taking [...]

ambiguous clarity :: be back in 2010

29Dec09

This year has held moments of laughter, joy, tears, sorrow and so, so much more.
- I have learned that change is hard.
- Sometimes it is okay to walk away.
- Losing someone you love is never easy.
- Grieving is even harder.
- Old habits are hard to break.

informational snacking via twitter, yum

25Jun09

“Tweeting is like snacking, but blogging is like sitting down to some much needed comfort food. So fulfilling.” This was originally a whim response to a simple question posed by Chris Brogan via Twitter -  but I realized that there is much more meaning to this statement that is worth exploring.

no apologies required, thank you adam singer

07Apr09

It’s only Tuesday night, but it’s been a trying week.
The bar I set for myself academically, personally and professoinally is high; my husband would argue too high. The result is too many hours, on too many things. This morning I was feeling particulary calm, assessing the past 24 hours and looking at the week/month ahead.
In [...]

addendum to ling/lee post

05Apr09

Earlier this week I asked why we were not talking about Laura Ling and Euna Lee; two American journalists detained in North Korea. At the time, it appeared that Current was eliminating any recognition of the situation. This may no longer be the case. A recent tweet made it’s way to News//Current that may make [...]

sassy, chic – and sustainable

31Mar09

For those of you who know me, know of my full on crush with sustainable fashion, colorful items and flowy finds. Needless to say my day was totally made when I stumbled upon, {labudde} during my ongoing quest to create a socially conscious, and cute, wardrobe (thank goodness for Etsy).

setting digital boundaries and carving a space to breathe

24Mar09

Balance.
Pure and simple is something that I not only crave on daily basis, but strive to achieve. Am I always successful? Of course not. I work full-time, attend graduate school part-time, am a devoted wife, daughter, sister, and friend. I’m an advocate for digital literacy, a seeker of infinite information, a lover of art and [...]
