Raise Your Voice
If you grew up reading Dr. Seuss, you are probably quite familiar with “Horton Hears a Who” (originally published August 12, 1954), the metaphorical story of many tiny voices joining together in a chorus loud enough to be heard. The story resonated with me as a child, and seems to be an appropriate metaphor for […]
A Preference for Excellence
A “COMMA CAUSIE” (my newest made-up word) is an example of when an ill-placed comma, or simply a missing comma, causes the meaning of your statement to change. We see these COMMA CAUSIES© all the time. Our clients either have way too many commas, or not enough. They look for areas where they can reduce their […]
Do What You Must. Trust Your Instinct.
In the world of self-publishing, I’m always watching for stories I can share to help emphasize not only how much $$ we SAVE our clients . . . but also how much $$ we can help them MAKE. It all started last Friday when I took a leap of faith and found myself on an […]
YZARC
So, just exactly how does one turn CRAZY around?! YOUR ZANY, AUDACIOUS, RESOURCEFUL, CHARITABLE soul reaches out, extends a hand, calms a fear. We love helping our clients expect the best and watching it come true.
Let It Be: Teddy Bears & Tyrants
If you haven’t noticed, there’s a whole lot of negative-energy “stuff” swirling around the planet lately. From hurricanes and earthquakes to political tyrants, tirades and Twitter feeds. I can easily name a few people who need an official “time out” in a rocking chair with their teddy bear (and I’m not referring to my two darling […]
What’s in YOUR Dream Box?

Their latest attraction, which captures BOTH of their attention simultaneously is called, “Creative Galaxy” which we access through Amazon Prime (the 3-year-old showed […]
Ready to Roll
It was 1962 . . . I found myself at the bottom of a neighborhood hill, laughing and giggling, as I lay bunched-up against a small row of bushes. I had just turned 6 and received a shiny new pair of sparkly-gold steel roller skates with bright red wheels for my birthday . . . […]
The Story Matters
We’ve all seen the t-shirts about how “Punctuation Matters” . . . And I recently learned first-hand how much placing your words in the correct order ALSO matters. My entire life, I’ve heard the family story about how one of my Miller ancestors married a Cherokee maiden back during the Trail of Tears era. I have […]
Moon Shadow
“Oh, I’m bein’ followed by a moon shadow, moon shadow, moon shadow . . . Leapin and hoppin’ on a moon shadow, moon shadow, moon shadow . . .” ~ Cat Stevens (AKA: Yusef Islam) Those of you who have followed my weekly writings may recognize this photo from Summer 2016 when I was able to capture […]
