Being Brazen

Take Time

December 18, 2009

Everyone does a lot of reflection right now. They think about the past year, the accomplishments and challenges, the lessons and teachings, the joy and sadness. If you are fortunate enough, you also get to spend a few days slowing down, doing nothing but sitting with family. You get a chance to reboot for the […]

Better Readers Instead of Writers?

December 4, 2009

One of the criticisms of my generation is that technology is making us a group of horrible writers. We can’t spell because of spell check (guilty), we wouldn’t know a full word if we saw it (thx), and we use punctuation to express emotion : ) Sure, we’re teaching younger generations that texting is the […]

Who’s Your Customer: Regulars or Visitors?

October 15, 2009

4:45…the waterfall noise is replaced by beeping. Oh joy. 5:15…I have to give myself a pep talk to get into the water. 7:00…wishing I had an IV for coffee. Yup, I’m talking about 4:45 AM. As in really dark and cold in the morning AM. I’ve been doing the 5:15 wake-up-to-work-out routine for a while […]

Madtown Adventures (aka The barroom brawl that wasn’t…)

October 5, 2009

The internet is a funny thing. Years ago, you had to be skeptical if you planned on ever meeting an online acquaintance in person. Internet friends were frowned upon as manipulating predators looking to take advantage of the innocent. As the internet world has developed, the rules seem to have changed. Dating sites still advise […]

Is it really that hard to expect honesty from businesses?

October 2, 2009

Have you seen those commercials for Ally Bank? Where the kids know that the shady practices aren’t fair? As a customer, you should have a right to understand everything you are getting from a business. It shouldn’t be buried in the fine print, and you should be able to expect honest practices.
