Retailers Scared by Internet Voices
It is no longer Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware) but instead Vendor Beware as in this age of the internet with blogs, websites, rants, and youtube it is all too easy to become truly vocal about a poor customer experience. I am careful in most newsletters making it clear that it is my take and experience…
Why Charlie is Brown
It is all in the semantics, consider mud brown vs. chocolate. Wouldn’t you have a library done in Hershey? Or Godiva? Yum. Brown is a wonderful, warm, earthy color that too often gets short shrift by its moniker. Just rename it . . . cinnamon, bark, mahogany, toast, all conjure up inviting images of rooms…
If You Don’t Like What You’re Eating, Change Your Cooking!
I have a habit of tinkering with recipes when I cook. I’m not great at following directions, you know your typical entrepreneurial type!

The first and most coveted is the lounge dining area complete with built in chaises/beds. The…

It’s a Small Small World After All . . . When I headed up to Bristol, New Hampshire for the Masters of Manifestation retreat, I never expected the Inn at Newfound Lake to be owned by two gentlemen that actually knew my Mom! Phelps had actually worked at the Salon Mom used to go to…
Manifesting Your Success: Finding the Masters
While I can safely say I didn’t learn any new secrets to manifesting in either my business or personal life at the recently attended retreat, it did give me a chance to think about all the many ways that I have been successful in manifesting in my own life. Professionally what I have found is…
Get Over It…Get On With It!
What I did see at the recent retreat was a propensity to bare wounds and commiserate on the challenges of being a wounded soul. This is uniquely frustrating to me as I have learned that in order to get on with our lives, we must get over ourselves. Being a walking wounded is a choice…
