Raise Your Voice

By Cathy Davis | October 22, 2017

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

By Cathy Davis | October 17, 2017

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.

By Cathy Davis | October 11, 2017

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

By Cathy Davis | October 2, 2017

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

By Cathy Davis | September 26, 2017

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 […]

My Favorite Items on the Menu: Know, Like, Trust

By Cathy Davis | September 18, 2017

Our favorite family-owned Mexican restaurant is right around the corner, about a mile away. We were there for their opening, and 10+ years later, we keep going back. We like to “shop local” and when I find a favorite menu item at a local restaurant, I’m known to order the same thing each time I […]

What’s in YOUR Dream Box?

By Cathy Davis | September 11, 2017

I spent some time with my two grandsons this past weekend (ages 5.5 and 3). They love electronics . . . our iPad and iPhones have the requisite toddler apps for EDU-tainment. 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

By Cathy Davis | September 4, 2017

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

By Cathy Davis | August 27, 2017

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

By Cathy Davis | August 21, 2017

“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 […]
