Why would I waste time writing something I'm telling you NOT to read? To make a point: too many of us (ok, ok, I admit it, I'm guilty too) are addicted to social media. While it's important to have a social media presence, and to a certain extent, to be active on social media, too many of us get lost in the mire of the online time suck. [ 131 more words. ]

It happens to the best of us. You're plugging along, head down, working working working. Then BAM! You get hit with a sinus infection. If you're lucky it only serves you up a healthy dose of green snot, but otherwise leaves you unscathed. If you're not so lucky, it affects your voice. And if you're REALLY not so lucky, it completely takes your voice. [ 256 more words. ]

another reason to have a responsive website http://wp.me/p4wb8V-8H

If you read the title of this post and you're lost already -- that is, you don't know what a responsive website is, let's start there.

This Valentine’s Day, Love Yourself! http://wp.me/p4wb8V-8t

It's almost Valentine's Day, that day when we reach out to loved ones to tell them how much they mean to us, how lucky we are to have them in our lives, etc. But what about showing YOURSELF a little love this Valentine's Day? No, I'm not talking about buying yourself some exorbitant gift (although, heck, if you want to, I say go for it!), but what I'm really talking about is being good to yourself, knowing and believing that you are good, maybe even GREAT!
