Being flexible with your own schedule
For my regular readers out there, you’ll notice I’ve been blogging consistently each Monday afternoon for several months… until last week. I missed my deadline for posting and was quite displeased with myself for doing so. That being said, missing my streak gave me time to consider the concept of the streak, how I felt […]

Saying “You’re Welcome”
I pride myself on being someone who is keenly aware of the underlying meaning of words and the ways in which we say them. Being this way is both a gift and a curse, yet it forces me to be very conscious of the words I’m using to express myself. This is all well and […]

Daily blogging, what to write and who to blog for
So, now almost a month in and Project 365 is still going strong. At this point, I thought it a good idea to touch base and get some feedback from you all on this month’s posts so far. It’s often said that one should blog first and foremost for oneself. If you like a topic […]

GROW BootCamp 2012 – The Creations
At the GROW Academy 2012, Jeff and I have been discussing and showcasing WordPress and what it can do. We’ve been working with the recruits, setting up WordPress.com websites and learning the system. We thought it’d be a cool idea to showcase what the recruits of 2012 have compiled.
