Time to mix things up a bit. We’re headed to the Midwest (as of today). I’ll be resurfacing once we’re settled – or at least once our bed is unpacked and the Internet is up and running. For now, relax and enjoy the rest of what summer has to offer.

be back soon.
11Aug10Yesterday I tweeted a resolution for June:
Part I, single-tasking.
Part II, 1 new post per week.
Part III, 2 comments per week.
The first of any month seems like an opportunity for renewal – June’s perfect for this. This is not the first time I’ve decided a revision was in order (here and here). I am, and [...]
maternity leave made by scratch
04May10At this stage in my life, freelancing offers me wonderful flexibility, but I learned that there are some unique challenges – especially when you’re pregnant. With no instructions or HR support I needed to create my own post-baby plan of attack.
It was important to tie up my work as well as set realistic expectations with [...]

The decision to make this blog more a professional think tank is in response to [...]
It never ceases to amaze me how inspirational and driven my dearest friends are. Heatherjean is one such person. I’ve mentioned Heatherjean and her socially-focused, entrepreneurial mission – Proxy Apparel – before in a previous post.
It has been humbling to witness her navigate such a life (and world) changing journey, continually standing by her [...]
coffee on me…
18Jun09Last night while watching the Red Sox game I was challenged by my husband, Colin, to have coffee with one new person per week. The impetus for this is my insatiable appetite for stories, people and inspiration – as well as an outlet for my own ideas.
So, who in Boston [or NH, Maine, NYC...other] wants [...]
Yes, sometimes I like to brag about my stellar husband, Colin. He’s helping to bring awareness and change in the public access, community media and citizen journalism front – and I couldn’t be prouder.
The following is from last week’s Alliance for Community Media Northeast Conference, where Colin talks about how new technologies offer a unique [...]
