My son turns 8 next week. And he doesn’t know how to tie his own shoes. Let’s be honest. Some folks reading that sentence will think that’s just horrifying. Others
There’s a growing trend bubbling under the radar that brings me great hope. It is a trend where diverse interests are coming together for the good of our coastal communities
Turning 36 isn’t exactly a milestone. It’s old enough to remember when I used to think 36 is SUPER old. But it’s also young enough to understand that it totally
It used to be that the biggest challenge in the online universe was simply building a website. Tools have emerged to make that hurdle inconsequential to most. Having a website
I’ve primarily stayed clear of discussing fisheries issues on this blog. Mostly because the issues are so deeply complicated that they deserve more than passing lip service or emotional platitudes.
In celebrating my 14th wedding anniversary yesterday, it occurred to me that another anniversary simply flew under the radar a couple weeks ago. Namely, the anniversary of our original journey
I challenge anyone to find a better way to kick off a fabulous summer evening than reconnecting with an old friend and meeting a new one under the alter of
Generally speaking, I hate to lose. I’m a fairly competitive person who enjoys setting goals and then crushing them. Adrenaline is my preferred drug of choice and a healthy ambiance
Like many people, I’ve watched my fair share of surfing flicks. From Endless Summer to Riding the Giants. Each time thinking, “Damn, that looks like fun.” Guess what. It is. I
What can I say….I had to come back for another round of this Camano Studio Tour. I’ve been working with these guys since last fall and while I’ve been excited
I’m still totally geeking out about last night’s Little League game. The Firepups faced off against American Sunset, the team that seemed unbeatable at the start of the season. What
I spent the better part of this past weekend on the Camano Studio Tour on Camano Island. This community of artists is concentrated in a 40 square mile area and
Sometimes you have opportunities in life to touch something truly extraordinary. I’ve been blessed to have had that opportunity with Start Out Right. An event that began literally as a dream
Running is one of the only sports that brings together people of all ages, shapes and sizes and pits weekend warriors against professional Kenyan speedsters on any given Sunday morning.
It’s been roughly a year since my awesome and amazing cousin passed away. She was 26 years old and though she fought a hard battle against cancer, she eventually succumbed
You know those rare moments when you sit back and look at your life from a million miles away? Like it’s a movie being played out in front of you,
My son just had his first Little League practice. Already, I can see the potential for lifelong lessons being taught here. Let me back up first to the previous week
I spent this past weekend at a community Expo featuring local businesses and restaurants in Grays Harbor County. It was an impressive event, particularly for such a rural community as
As I near the close of my third week in Westport at Ocean Gold Seafoods, I have absolutely no regrets. I’m swimming in a sea of information about fish, fishing,
Customer service has never been more important than it is today. Historically, people have always been much more likely to share negative experiences than they are positive experiences. But according
Actually, I’m not a big believer in regrets. Never really saw the point of living in the past and holding on to some sort of “woulda…coulda…shoulda” ideal. Everything happens for
I never imagined that after traveling through 23 states, meeting leaders in business and marketing along the way and finally settling for a spell in Denver that the destination at
The most striking part of Camano Island is that one must actually TRY to find a place without an amazing view. The narrow island north of Seattle is surrounded by
So this is what it feels like to stand on a precipice. Though at this moment I’m not exactly standing. I’m roughly 30,000 feet up en route to Seattle for
The last few days have been wrapped in irony and strange postmodern juxtapositions. Visiting Glenwood Springs, the home of one of the only naturally occurring vapor caves in the world
The best part about taking a young child to an art museum is that you get to see what grabs him, knowing that he has no idea what he is
I’m not gonna lie. There are no tears being shed as we close out 2009. It’s managed to be both the best and the worst year in recent memory. I
This weekend I returned to our apartment complex with Julius after a quick morning trip to the store to pick up milk. As we pulled in, we noticed a small
I am breaking all the rules again. Throw all the adages my way…from “the cobblers kids” to “do as I say.” I’ve been oh so remiss with my pinkplusorminus as
When you are flying solo, you need to prioritize. Day four of single motherhood with Joni out of town and if it weren’t for the 2am ear-infection inspired wake-up call
Tis the season for pie. I love pie. I love baking it, smelling it and eating it. It is the superior form of dessert and in my mind both pumpkin
I have been absolutely immersed in all things digital these past few weeks. I’m working with Sandy Puc Portrait Design, a global leader in the art and business of photography.
The biggest differentiator at GroundFloor Media, one of Denver’s “Best Places to Work” in 2008, is that it is made up entirely of senior PR practitioners. The average number of
I knew it was going to be a good day when I jumped out of bed at 5:30 am completely awake after only 5 hours of sleep. The kids wanted
When I began this journey in June it was to take the temperature of the MarCom industry in today’s freaky economy. I met with a lot of folks from independent
Hello, my friends. Pink Plus Or Minus, I’ve missed you. Frankly, it hasn’t been for lack of topics to explore. Rather, it’s been an overwhelming schizophrenic stream of consciousness in
