Recently, one of my clients came to me with an easy and practical idea to develop his network on Twitter and Facebook – such a great idea that I thought I would share it all with you.

Groovy Man! (maybe it’s time for a makeover?)
In business, you cannot afford to allow your professional image to become outdated, it is important to keep up. Here is an example of a logo from “The Drawing Room” that was ready for a makeover. The client (who is a talented and professional home designer I highly recommend if you are in need of one) asked me to update her logo with the suggestion that I do something 3-D, which is a great idea, as, if you spend any t [skype3d] ime on the internet you will see that the “bubble”, “shadow”, “3-D” look are very hot right now.

It has taken me longer in my life to learn that lesson that it probably should have. That applies to my business life as well. It is very important to listen closely when your intuition tells [...]
Julie and Julia
Why don’t they make more movies like this? There was no car chase, no removal of heads or other body parts with accompanying copious blood flow, no evil plot to destroy the world (Well, I do have to admit a couple of lobsters did meet their maker). I absolutely loved it.

Dogs and Cats Living Together
(The title of this entry comes from the unforgettable 1984 movie “Ghostbusters,” which maybe a few of you out there are old enough – like me – to remember.)
