Play by Your Rules: Tips to Living True to Yourself | May 21, 2012

Play by Your Rules: Tips to Living True to Yourself

Kathie Truitt, author of The Hillbilly Debutante Café, one day found herself jobless and homeless, a paradoxical opportunity to completely turn her life around; a second chance. Kathie says, “I got rid of the socialite sweater sets, the business suits and pumps, which were not me, and went to what is me – vintage dresses and cowboy boots… I surround myself with the things I like; I have a country-style house, I drive a pickup, and, once a month, I take a ride out to one of the places featured in Southern Living magazine.”

The Power Of The Blog | April 19, 2011

The Power Of The Blog

Four years ago I teamed with a web designer and launched my first online website.  It was a small boutique and I was thrilled at the prospect of having a virtual store to sell my favorite things. The web designer was savvy enough to suggest that I start a blog using the same graphics and colors as the boutique website.   My first thought was “Why on earth would anyone want to read my blog?”  Then anxiety set in and I started worrying about content.

I work with clients who have experienced the same nagging … Read More »

Squash Office Gossip | February 2, 2010

Squash Office Gossip

It’s no secret that our places of employment can be not only a place of enjoyment, but one that can also inevitably lead to stress as well. As business individuals, we’re all constantly striving for our best, while competing with others that are also doing the same. Not only this, but most of us have deadlines to meet, and clients to interact – all of which are expected to be done with a smile and outstanding service.
