‘The best party of the season’ — put it on your calendar

I’m not the party-going type, so when I tell you I’m hitting the circuit, it means something.

Dubbed Glamour in the Garden, the soirée is being promoted […]

The power of video

I’m sharing this Easter worship video I developed as part of my P.R. and marketing work for my client, the Church of the Redeemer.

How I learned to ‘Get Things Done’

I’m usually a nose-to-the-grindstone kind of gal — I rarely take lunches out of the (home) office, tend to avoid schmooze fests (no matter how good for business they might be) and am usually too busy earning a living the hard way to take the time to learn how to earn a living the smart […]

More Joy in January
