Well, this digital woman survived her very first ShesConnected Conference and it was a day and a half of networking, learning and inspiration. First off, I want to say thank you to Donna Marie Antoniadis, Co-founder & CEO, ShesConnected for bringing brands and bloggers together in one location to learn from one another. I also [...]
I’ve had a number of clients ask me about this one, so I decided that the easiest way to answer the question is to post a video. Let me know if you have any questions by commenting below!
When I went back to work 3 1/2 years ago after being home and working part-time for nine years, all I could think about was two things: the money and the outfits. Obviously, those two were inter-related as with all the money I would earn, I could buy all kinds of new outfits. Conversely, in [...]
So I attended my very first social media conference last week, the 140 Conference in Kitchener, Waterloo. Looking back, it’s hard to believe that I almost didn’t buy a ticket because I didn’t really know anyone there. How time quickly changed that! The conference for me really started the night before as my partner [...]
What kind of home were you brought up in? Did you have a typical Berenstein Bears family with Mama, Papa, Brother and Sister?

It was several years after being bullied, I discovered a business cost calculator where I learned my bulling incident, 6-month of it, cost the company $300,000.00! ( Dan Dana’s) The financial cost of tolerating this behaviour stunned me. As a [...]
Keeping it simple…No frills attached! There seems to be a trend these days toward using the latest and greatest to attract readers to our blogs and clients to our websites. I’ve always believed that simple is better, in fact I’ve built my business Simple Websites, Simply Affordable on this very principle. As I was sitting [...]
Resolving Conflicts is hard at the best of time, in a professional relationship sometimes it is even more so. This is not math with a formula – this is shades of interpersonal relationships we are dealing with. I suggest having an open discussion to better evaluate things, this helps to strengthen the relationship. As well [...]
