THIS IS IT. Now is the time. You are the one.
This guest post I wrote for 5 BY 5 Design’s Inspiration page ran today: I’m a freelance publicist and producer for creatives and entrepreneurs. I work with some of the most talented and innovative people in the world. I get to travel for work! When I’m not traveling, I mostly work in a hoodie and [...] -
New Mini Appointments Available
I get somewhere between 6 and 10 requests every week from people to have lunch or coffee with me, to pick my brain. Now, I am a civic-minded person who believes strongly in mentoring and being a part of my community, but there’s no possible way I can satisfy that many requests as it could add up [...] -
This.

The Wait Space
“Life is always a rich and steady time when you are waiting for something to happen or to hatch.” –E.B. White, Charlotte’s Web We live in a time without a lot of waiting. If there’s more than one person in line at Target, the red shirts swoop in and take over. Gas stations have twenty [...] -
Be Nice
I’m pretty nice. I like to meet people and am usually the first person to introduce myself and others. I’ve experienced mean girls but definitely wasn’t ever one of them. Before quite recently, however, it was a different kind of nice. Before it was the kind of nice that is exceedingly polite; that pleases people. [...] -

Affordable, too. And she asks which nights would be best for people to attend before she schedules. @irishgirl – Meghan and I [...]
