Sunday Update: New Thinking
I had the pleasure of attending the Red Carpet Affair this week. It was a black tie event to celebrate the opening of the Webster Theater. I wore a long, swirly vest and a a new gold blouse and palazzo pants. It is a fabulous outfit. But here’s the thing …. it’s too big. The…
Red Carpet Affair
I have the great honor and pleasure to serve on the board of Help Entertain and Restore Organization (HERO). Last night was the Red Carpet Affair for the opening of the Webster Theater. HERO is a non profit organization that was organized by a board of 9 people who wanted to save the theater. With…
Sunday Update: Interactions
Monday I went to boot camp. Then I helped set up for RVTV. Then I walked almost 13 miles and greeted 4,000 people who were attending the event. Tuesday I went to the doctor. Once a year I go, get my blood drawn to check what they check and they update my high blood pressure…
Workshop: Putting Your Business on the Map
Sheila Scarborough is a friend. I met her on the Bloggers Tour in Hutchinson, Kansas in 2009. We met because of twitter. Both of us responded to a tweet to be a part of a bloggers tour. Now I have the great pleasure to host Sheila as the speaker and facilitator of a workshop next…
Justin Levy: Value in Social Media
Right now Justin is having brain surgery. On August 10 he had two severe seizures and during them he fractured both shoulders. He’s already had two shoulder surgeries and right now they are working on his brain to remove a tumor that caused the seizures. I first ‘met’ Justin Levy online. He was gracious enough…

I write about places I’ve traveled, diet and exercise, social media, tech toys, Webster City and building possibility. I would be wrong though. I use Google Analytics to track how many people…
Sunday Update: Tired
This has been a crazy,busy,insane week. I’m tired. When I’m tired I don’t like how I look. I looked at pictures this week and I hate how I look in them. Fat. It’s not how I see myself in my head, and when I butt up on reality, it depresses me. How did I get…
Four iPhone Apps
I’m really blown away by the amount of things I can accomplish on my iPhone. It truly is a mini computer and aids in making my life easier. Here’s just four apps I’ve started using. What are some of your favorites? How many different weather apps are there? How many just tell you the current…
5 Things You Need to Know about Webster City
1. We have Iowa’s First. The first fish farm to raise barramundi in the state of Iowa. The Nelson cousins, Mark and Jeff converted a couple of old hog barns into a fish farm. It’s actually out in the country with a Blairsburg address, but they are Chamber members in Webster City. Keep your…
Sunday Update: Listening to the devil
We’re gearing up for three big events in September: Cyndi Young comes the 3rd, RVTV is the 8th and Sheila Scarborough’s workshop is the 17th. That means lots of planning, organizing, herding cats, marketing and stress for me. Normally I’d turn to lots and lots of junk food to get me through. This past week…
