Last week I wrote about not being good with Plan B. That’s true. I’m not. But here’s what I AM good at doing: finding silver linings. Optimism is a gift I was given at birth. It’s not something I work on, it’s not something I think about,...

So today we are traveling as our kids are off school for the week. We’re on a very-early-in-the-college-search visit to the University of Texas at Austin. It’s been a long day so we are all taking a little quiet time in the hotel before we head out and...

So a topic has been brewing at the top of my brain the past few weeks, and this morning, my pal, Danielle Hughes, wrote this piece. No, I’m not “copying” her. For the record, I was mid-way through writing this when I took a break and saw hers. But...

Eleven years into this business and I still get the request from clients “can we remove that negative comment on our Facebook post?” Um. No. You can’t. Again, the answer is a resounding “No.” I get where the client is going with this....
