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 […]
Step Up, Step Out, Stand Out
I was NOT happy. My Mom had just lifted me out of the boat and now my feet were in the muck and mud. I can vividly remember the feeling of this strange, new substance oozing between my toes. Get me out of here, FAST! It was the flood of 1960 in northeast Oklahoma. The flood waters had not […]
In the FLOW of Circulation and Celebration!
It’s a beautiful new day in St. Louis this morning! August in STL is known to be fairly brutal. We typically see high humidity with temps in the 100’s. But, not this year. The (hopefully) “last blast” of Summer heat came in late July. We woke up this morning to low 60-degree temps, clear skies, a gently […]
Fireworks Get Noticed
My mother’s birthday was July 4th. And, YES, she was one heck of a FIRECRACKER. She LOVED being the focus of attention, and knew how to make that happen. She always led with her “sparkling” personality, and it always served her well. Even after she moved to a nursing home, she landed on the front page […]
Roots of DeterminACTION
Many of you have heard stories about my family roots, me growing up in Oklahoma and how my Cherokee ancestors traversed the Trail of Tears, settling in Kansas and Oklahoma during the Dust Bowl. Census records show the original Cherokee family name of SAU-WAH-GEE in the late 1700’s, and later, OO-YAH-SEE-WAH-TAH (perhaps, Oooh, Yeah, See Water!?) appears […]
Our WHO, WHAT, WHY.
Our clients ask us a lot of questions. Things like . . . How do I get more clients? How can I stand out from my competition? How can I be seen as the expert? How can I make more $$$ ? How can I sell more books? How can I grow my business? They also ask, […]
Naughty Nuffs
Yep. They snuck up again. The Naughty Nuffs. Just when I least expected it . . . there they were. I could hear their voices whispering, “NOT ENUFF time.” . . . “NOT ENUFF clients.” . . . “NOT ENUFF help.” . . . “NOT ENUFF $ in that bank account.” It was a never-ending loop, […]
