I’ve always liked being a “slashie.” I like being able to say that I am a marketing professional / writer / blogger / emcee / singer / teacher / homemaker, even though I do not practice these professions all at the exact same time. Somehow, more slashes always made me feel more accomplished. The more …
How was your New Year’s Eve? Mine started with a bang… and not in a good way, unfortunately. While the whole world was celebrating and counting down to 2014, I was spending that climacteric arguing with someone who was close to me. Our voices were loud, just like the blasting firecrackers and our words were …
