Do you write the way that you speak?

I can not count the number of times that I have met someone and they have told me that I speak/carry myself exactly how I write. Sometimes I am not sure if they consider that a good thing or a bad thing, but personally, I am extremely proud of it. When you meet me, I want you to feel comfortable. I believe it would be very...

Just another manic monday…

Sometimes, I can’t get inspired to write. Like today. Writing was just not in the cards and I spent all afternoon working on everything but my blog post. And now, it’s 2:30 in the afternoon, I have tons of work left to do, and I still don’t have any ideas what to write about. But, I figured maybe if I let my fingers start walking,...

Choosing where to comment

If you’re anything like me, you have a whole heck of a lot of blogs that come via rss every morning. Currently, I have about 50 that I subscribe to and read every day. I also love leaving comments on the blogs that I read, but as I was commenting on a couple posts this morning, I found something very interesting: I rarely comment on...

Refocus your 5 senses and improve your writing

Touch – wood, fur, velvet, keyboard keys…they all feel extremely different and bring out different emotions. When is the last time you just let yourself enjoy the touch of something? When I am struggling with my work, I will take a moment and my computer to the couch, rather than my office chair. The comfortable seat, squishy pillows and silky texture gives my body and...

Sharing some favorites

I absolutely love blogs, the way that it is so simple to subscribe and get it in whichever rss feed you choose (or by email!), the customization, the fact that they always have new information, and the multitude of topics. What I don’t like is old but great articles are not always easy to find. First, even with a ‘most popular post’ widget on the sidebar,...

Can a local company break me of Starbucks?

I am an extremely hard to surprise person. Companies really have to go out of the way to impress me, but when they do, I am more than happy to share my experience. This is the case with my recent interaction with Portola Coffee. A little over a month ago, I was on twitter complaining about the lack of coffee in my system. Within a few...
