Steal This Idea!

Embracing Your Story
Famously, actor Sally Field accepted her second Oscar for "Places in the Heart" by gushing in her acceptance speech, "You like me!" It seemed this two-time Oscar winner still felt insecure about her talent! Working with artists for many years (and having my own art...

To Blog or Not to Blog – Is This Your Question?
If you look at my blog history, it's sketchy. Until I got my site re-worked and up and running, I had trouble with blogging. I had trouble committing. I didn't like my old site and I just didn't want to give the world any extra reasons to visit. With my big launch of...
Are You Killing Sales With Poor Word Choices?
*Read time: 5-6 minutes* I have had a long love affair with my 1941 Roget’s Thesaurus! It was my Dad's. And I get great joy from my more “modern” version from 1977. I’m such a word nerd! Recently, I relied heavily on my thesauri. (Yes, that is the plural. I...
