I’m not a tennis player nor a big fan of the sport. I know love means zero but I still don’t understand the scoring. My parents are fans so I will lightly follow some of the big names. My mother actually had some tennis great that she was matchmaking for my sister at some point. […]

A very happy birthday to my beautiful soul-sister and bestie. When we first met, I knew you would always be in my life. Cheers to long ago apple martinis at the Melting Pot and lingering dinners talking about life. Thank you for being my late night emergency phone call. You are the person who can […]

I’ve been exploring meditation this year. Since *checks app* March, I’ve been running meditations through Calm at least 50% of the month. *Pats self on back* As I write this, I’m in an eleven day streak. I’m trying to shoot for 14 but it’s a holiday weekend and weekends just aren’t kind to me lately. […]

Tears drip down, salty and slow Weighted blanket of grief, presses down Each deep breath, grateful thoughts are formed Welcoming the sharp pinch of feelings, to settle in The sun, warming my body Finding some peace

I always look forward to reading Lisa Barone’s bi-weekly newsletter from OverIt. I have been reading her for over 15 years. (Yes, I had to go snoop on her LinkedIn and remember that she started at Bruce Clay in 2006!) I could go on and on about her writing but you should just go subscribe. […]

We watched Elemental, the new Pixar movie, yesterday. Sam, G, and I all cried. (G clarified that he cried once but he doesn’t remember which part!) Pixar does such wonderful movies. This one was very emotional (obviously!), beautiful, and quite touching. It had amazing imagery as well. There was a line at the end where […]

It’s been three years since Covid hit. Obviously, the years were difficult and quite an experience for the entire world. But what came out of that for each of us individually has been different. For me, lately I’ve been appreciating the moments spent with my loved ones. And the definition of loved ones includes the […]

Past lives are sort of a thing for me. I have vivid memories of reading Remembrance by Jude Deveraux back when I was 14 years old. I gave the book to several of my friends. My standout memory was sitting with Lindsay in an RV park where we were spending a few nights at the […]

Here is a list of my top books of 2020. I’m closing out the last week with 188 books read and over 20 top five recommendations. Obviously, I continue to be heavily in the romance, paranormal, urban fantasy genres but I continued to work on my non-fiction, self-help, and memoir categories! I can’t say enough about Sarah […]

This poor blog. Who has time to write? Not me. But I still miss it. Last month I got a notification through Google Webmaster that someone else is an owner over my website. That isn’t good, I thought! But what did I do? Nothing. I didn’t have much time. But finally a few weeks later […]

I still feel numb this morning. We have to move forward in peace for the next four years and I sincerely hope we can do that. I know we can try. We will get through this and we will be fine. But only if we work with each other. This just reaffirms my need […]

Kendall made us stand up and shake out the sleep but it seemed to work. Let’s do this. Last session of the day! Starting up with Ryan Jones. Make data actionable! Three “WHATS” What is it? Reporting! What does it mean? Analysis! What should we do about it? Actionable! You don’t have to start with […]
Okay, it’s 2:45pm and I’m totally dragging. I almost want to take a nap but Dennis Yu came to the microphone and was high energy in introducing Merry and Kyle so let’s do this. Merry says to get comfortable between the two Facebook environment. Facebook assumes that Power Editor users are sophisticated and can play […]
The amazing Annie Cushing is moderator and introduced Craig Paddock up first. Craig starts up and wants to change the title to Advanced Content Research. He brings up boxing equipment and boxing gear, the current results are identical. This was not that way ten years ago and it started converging so Google considers those key […]

What does neuroscience have to do with SEO? Roger Dooley is here to educate us and after rave reviews from his Masters segment on Monday, I’m all ears. Google changed the game and continue to do so. What have they done to directly affect SEO? Trust. Early Google used PageRank algo to look at links […]
