Comfort Zone, 5 Miles Back
Earlier this year I wrote on the popular New Year meme, “Word of the Year“. I chose the word “discomfort” as mine, and was truly surprised at how it was received. Even more surprising is how the year has thus far unfolded for me. This week’s Writer’s Workshop includes the prompt… - Write about a time…
Twive & Receive and Why You Should Look your City Up
In my post back in April about going local and offline with your social media efforts, I talked about a really fantastic initiative in Memphis started by WordPress and social media chick, Beth Sanders. The purpose behind MemphisGives is for the Memphis tech, social media and online marketing communities to “give back” to the Memphis area by…
Why you should “go local” – and offline – with your social media
While I was listening to the questions and comments during the business break-out session of the blog conference I attended this past weekend, Kate (not mine) raised her hand. She told the crowd to never discount what you can get involved with offline. Kate is a great person to suggest this because along with her own blog, Kate runs a hyper…
Why I Quit Pinterest…and Started Over

Dear Twitter, I foolishly thought our love was eternal
Dear Twitter, Our story began many moons ago. It didn’t take long for you to woo me with your charm and charisma. Our blossoming romance was fast, furious and intense. I fell head over heels in love with you and could not get enough. You brought joy to my life and fulfilled me in ways…

My Word of the Year: Discomfort
As far as Words of the Year go, my selection probably doesn’t strike you as a particularly positive nor hopeful one. However, as I reflect back on my blogging and social media journey, and also look to the future, I find “discomfort” to be my perfectly joyful bliss. To me, discomfort means pushing yourself beyond…
Why I Broke up with Klout & Changed my Twitter Handle
This weekend turned out to be a weekend full of big social media changes. Social media event #1 for the weekend: The first and most fun piece of my weekend was attending BarCampMemphis. I had never heard of “BarCamp” before, but a quick Google search immediately pulled up sites for BarCamps in cities like LA,…
