Now We’re Expected to Opt OUT of Social Sharing?

Wednesday, May 9, 2012

I’m fed up with mobile apps and websites using my Facebook network to promote their product, slyly. The current guilty parties in question are Socialcam, a video mobile app, and Newsle, a website that tracks stories about you and your friends in the news — both of which I love, BTW. Big fan of Socialcam. [...]

Bar Harbor is Aptly Named

Tuesday, May 8, 2012

A couple of weeks back I spent a long weekend celebrating a friend’s birthday in Bar Harbor, Maine. And I’m smitten. Given that water and bars are on my list of favorite things it was a shoe in really. So many wonderful moments made for a magnificent trip… Flying co-pilot from Boston to Bar Harbor [...]

Live Your Talk, I Did

Tuesday, May 8, 2012

As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, 2012 is the year I face my fears. One of those is public speaking. Alongside participating in some panels and presenting for an hour at my agency (traumatic, but not as horrible as expected), I went whole hog and signed up for a public speaking “bootcamp” — we [...]

A Long Weekend and a Wedding in San Miguel de Allende

Sunday, April 22, 2012

A little overdue but still worthy of sharing nonetheless. Last month I travelled to San Miguel de Allende — a gorgeous historic town in Central Mexico — to attend the wedding of my good friend and college bud, Alex. We ate, we drank, we danced…and in the interim someone got married. Noted by The New [...]

A Photo-Video Journal of One Year Since #MyBootcamp Began

Sunday, April 15, 2012

Tuesday, April 17th marks one year since my first workout with Grant Hill of MyBootcamp. I can still recall the moment he pulled up in a Range decked out like this! Then he pulled out all these toys…. Yes, that’s a fire hose and 65-lb rubber tire. It was a tough start — and it [...]

When I say I’ll Do Something, I Do It — Facing Fears in 2012

Fri, Apr 6, 2012

When I say I’ll do something, I do it. I’m going to be debt free in 2011 — done. I’m going to lose this unnecessary weight and get my mind and body healthy again — done. I’m going to build a citywide event (successfully) in 6 weeks — done. I’m going to run my first Tough [...]

New App Crush: Socialcam

Wed, Mar 14, 2012

My fickle nature is apparent by my short attention span for new mobile apps. I’ll try almost anything that gets a buzz once, but if I’m not wowed at Hello it’s an extremely short relationship. Even the winners only get a couple of months of my time before the next shiny app grabs my attention. That [...]

How Social Chicks Travel

Wed, Mar 14, 2012

You can take the girl out of planning, but you can’t take the planning out of the girl — not this chick anyways. On Friday morning I’m headed to San Miguel de Allende — a gorgeous historic town in Central Mexico — for four days and a friend’s wedding. Having already committed to a pricey [...]

Freestyle Writing is Good for the Soul

Tue, Feb 28, 2012

Have you ever tried to write like no one was reading? Last Friday, Mark Levy led a fabulous workshop on better brainstorming at Pappas Group. My big takeaway was freestyle writing; I found it amazing and insightful to discover what I was really thinking. When we write our self-editor often hides what we really [...]
