My Way, My Blog… would Frank approve?

WordPress Chick My Way

In other words, are you doing it YOUR WAY? Clearly this seems to be a pattern for me these days (my recent Manifesto posts) and a question I seem to be asking myself quite often. Am I doing things MY WAY? And no, I don’t mean in a half-ass, throw all caution to the wind [...]

Skype, Oreo shakes & a little woowoo…birthplace of My Manifesto (part 1)

The WordPress Chick Burning the Boat

Here we go. (GULP) Oh for the love… I’m sitting here with butterflies in my stomach (the kind you get when you’re excited & nervous at the same time) and less than steady hands. I thought about starting this last night, but knew I’d have more courage in the morning. So here I am. It’s [...]

2011 – A look back, life lessons and a little love

WordPress Chick 2011 Look Back

Here it is. The BIG “Year in Review” Post! I’ve been doing some serious contemplating on this post this past week (yea, sounds trite, but the reality is the end of the year is the ideal time to do this. I’m done with resolutions though- I’ll work from intention). I’m going to do this in [...]

The WordPress Chick is getting a facelift! Sneak peek

wordpress-makeover

Yep… it’s time for a makeover! BUT… this time it’s not going to just be a new theme… it’s a FULL ON MAKEOVER!!! I’ve been wanting to do this for a while. It’s one of those things that just sort of crept into my mind a few months ago… and the feeling has just been [...]

Are you a jumper?

WordPress Bandwagon

As in bandwagon. This is something that I feel like I’m seeing quite a bit more of lately- but I think that’s simply because I’ve become pretty conscious of it (kind of like when you buy a new car and all of the sudden it seems like everyone has the same car?). Once something comes [...]

Demented and Sad.. but social

The-Breakfast-Club

“Excuse me Dick?… Sorry, Richard?… does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?” Know the movie? (in case the thumbnail didn’t give it away) If you were in high school in the 80′s you do. Yes, I’m totally dating myself here- but you can’t go wrong with a quote from ANY John Hughes movie- [...]

Thursday Thanks: A Love Letter to StudioPress

love letter studiopress

At one time or another I’m sure most bloggers have questioned what the right balance is between sharing personal things on their blog and writing about their niche. If anyone knows the answer- or has found a good formula- I’d love to hear it. Over the last few months I’ve done some serious reflecting on [...]

WOW! What an honor! 50 Coolest Marketers of 2010

Lorrie-Morgan-Ferrero

What a great way to start the New Year! Being an entrepreneur has SO many rewards, but it’s also very easy to get caught up in your own little world. This last year was SUCH a wild ride for me! At the end of 2009 I did a “Look Back” post on the past year, [...]

Inspired Blogging from Cabo San Lucas

Inspired Blogging

So I just got back from vacation last weekend- a week in Cabo San Lucas with my girlfriends. These are  friends I’ve had for over 25 years (which is crazy because part of me still feels like I’m 25 years old!)- one I’ve known since kindergarten. We’ve taken girls weekends almost every year since college- [...]

Hitting the proverbial ‘blog’ wall…..

Hitting the Blog Wall

It’s been a rough couple of weeks to say the least (hence the post title). Having an online business means SO many different things……one if which is supposed to be freedom, right? The challenge with this freedom is that you have to be careful who defines it. In my case, my version of freedom matched [...]
