I learned a new term today.
“Chapter 22″
It’s when a business files for bankruptcy (chapter 11), twice. This week, Hostess earned the term “chapter 22.”
Upon hearing the news that Hostess is filing for bankruptcy (again), a voice in my head uttered “this is supposed to be a good thing.” A good thing because “Hostess is [...]
For the better part of 20 years, my weekend has included the soundtrack of NPR and the week’s news in review. This weekend, the review was peppered with discussion surrounding the Iowa Caucus.
This milestone is supposed to mark the launch of the presidential campaign season. I have come to think of it instead as an [...]
It’s a New Year. It’s Pink Plus or Minus’s fourth year.
Approaching this milestone, it was my intention to relaunch this blog with a new focus. I’ve given it a lot of thought, read through past posts, discussed the matter with those close to me, and have come to a singular conclusion.
The one constant with this [...]
Sometimes you have to reinvent the wheel.
It shocked me to see that my daily, turned weekly, turned monthly, blog posting schedule is now officially “quarterly.”
It all brings to mind an inescapable fact of life…everything changes. Let’s examine the phases of this blog:
1. Testing the boundaries of the mobile office.
2. Collecting insights from industry [...]
It was a defining moment for a generation. We all remember where we were when the towers fell. We all had our worldview fundamentally shifted. Our priorities realigned.
When our family had the opportunity to visit the memorial of United Flight 93 two years ago, I was reminded that in tragedy we can also find hope.
Everyone [...]
For the record, from the moment I walked out the front door to the second my butt hit the seat on the ferry this morning a total of 18 minutes elapsed. Not bad. That is officially acceptable “walking distance.”
Today marks the first day of my new life as a ferry commuter, as I start [...]
This morning I logged onto the Vocus webinar about the future of PR/Marketing. Playing it in the background while doing some housekeeping work, a statement from Adam Singer (Lewis PR) grabbed my attention.
Passion is everything.
I think that hits the nail on the head much more than the standard statement that “content is king.”
People [...]
Next week I start Statistics.
To say that I’m nervous would be an understatement. That said, I have been excited to see that to-date I’ve found the classes at WSU’s MBA program not only interesting from a theoretical perspective, but also immensely useful in real life.
From the studies on leadership styles and management to the [...]
Perhaps it’s telling of how my self-evaluation grades are going to say that I have not had time to come back to this blog for several weeks. And I haven’t evaluated my progress for more than a month.
Halfway through my second class in the MBA program at WSU, I’m thrilled to say that I [...]
Rebbecca is the kind of person you meet and immediately wish you had met years ago. She was one of those people who always exuded positivity. Her energy was contagious.
Rebbecca died today.
A month ago she was woken in the middle of the night, dragged out of bed and shot six times in her own home. [...]
