A little corner where I can share my love for all things colorful, fun, and pretty. Enjoy!

the good life :: what grounds you

22Jun10

[Photos by the lovely Joanie Tobin, 2010]
I have only one priority in my life – it’s my family. This doesn’t mean that other things, like work, aren’t of importance. In fact, work is a very important part of my life, it challenges me, nurtures me, and enables me to provide for others. [...]

how to establish a productive (distraction-free) workflow

09Feb10

Whether you’re a freelancer, contractor or simply work remotely it can be both convenient and uniquely challenging to work in an nontraditional office. My “office” has been anywhere from the Cambridge Public Library to my current location, the dining room table.
The perks of a nontraditional workspace seem almost endless – no cubicles, tea at the [...]

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.
If this year taught me anything, it taught me [...]

gone fishing.

15Jun09

No not really, but that would be such a lovely release. Perhaps, soon.
Right now I am counting down the week until I have officially completed [and attained] my MBA. That’s right, the end is actually in sight with t-minus seven weeks …and counting. I have several ideas percolating and I hope to find some time [...]

the de-evolution of community, relationships and the currency of quality

29Mar09

I was incredibly humbled and inspired by Doyle’s recent comment regarding my declaration of setting digital boundaries:
You are working at the edges of a lot of this stuff, and your experiences, reflections, and wisdom is very important to share. The currency of human relationship is really evolving here. Its possible to know a gazillion people [...]

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 [...]

on hiatus: new year, new opportunities

07Jan09

With the new year comes a new job. This past week I started as a Community Manager for WEGO Health. A stellar start-up that’s shaking up the online health space in innovative and community-centric ways by “empowering health activists to help others.”
In order to focus my energy on integrating into my new community responsibilities (as [...]
