What I am reading 10/31/25
Read more: What I am reading 10/31/25I love the delusion I had that this would finally be my week that wasn’t busy. Thank God for some easy reading for those between moments. I did the mad dash to get the Halloween costume done last week, and several of my daughter’s activities were cancelled. That just fed the delusion. But I was…

Read more: Realistic goals for a social media consultantToday was a day that I had trouble coming up with a blog topic. It’s Halloween week and my daughter is bouncing off the walls, so it’s pretty understandable.

Not feeling like you belong
Read more: Not feeling like you belongLately, I’ve been in this weird spot. I just don’t feel like I belong anywhere. I’m a stay-at-home mom but I also work. I’m the mom of a young child, but I’m twenty years older than some of the other moms. I work in social media but on the content side, which doesn’t sound like…

How to keep writing
Read more: How to keep writingI have been guilty on more than one occasion of looking at a blank page and thinking, “I’m a fraud. I have no ideas, and this is when people are finally going to find out how utterly unoriginal I am.” Yes, I am that dramatic when I’m writing. Er, more like not writing I guess.…

What I am reading 10/24/25
Read more: What I am reading 10/24/25I don’t feel like I accomplished nearly enough this week, but I did keep reading. It was a week of rush, rush and rush some more. It was my partner’s birthday and my daughter needed a costume for her ballet class. And yeah, I had to get work in there as well. I really felt…

What I am reading 10/17/25
Read more: What I am reading 10/17/25It has felt like a long week, but I’m still reading. I’ve made it a priority to be more open lately. I go to events I wouldn’t normally and I talk to more people even though it’s not my nature to be social. Let whatever is coming my way come because I’m ready for it.…

Low energy work options
Read more: Low energy work optionsI’ve alluded to this before, but low energy work options are what keep me sane in an insane online world. This is what I pull out to do when I’m having a bad day. They tend to require less of me and are therefore easy to complete. And they keep me working when I really…

What I am reading 10/10/25
Read more: What I am reading 10/10/25Who knew a cough could be this disruptive? After almost a week of this, I am just not reading in the way that I want to be. I knew preschool would include a lot of illness. My daughter didn’t go to daycare, so we’ve never gone through that stage where we get every virus. We…

Why it’s time to take Threads seriously
Read more: Why it’s time to take Threads seriouslyWith how unserious Threads can be, it’s been hard to take it seriously. It seems like such a small portion of people in the world. And is it really as good as X? Threads is on track to exceed X’s active usage, so if you’ve been holding out hope that X might make a rebound,…

Charging a retainer with unlimited hours
Read more: Charging a retainer with unlimited hoursI remember telling a friend who was doing work for me that I charge a retainer with unlimited hours for clients. Her eyes got huge and she said, “You must get taken advantage of a lot.” The answer is simply that I don’t. Do I sometimes tiptoe into scope creep? Yes, but I’m able to…
