Imagine if you will… There I go with that “Twilight Zone” schtick again. Perhaps this time it is appropriate. Lt’s try that again: Imagine if you will a mash up of a street fair, food trucks, music, a bike rally and all of it covered in a shower of bubbles. And with that you have
Having one person with an unusual name is one thing. Having three with the same beyond-the-norm name is different. I prefer to say special.

Listen with curiosity, speak with honesty, act with integrity. This #powernetworking tweet had its origins in a quote I had read the day before. Roy Bennett is an author and writer who specializes in positive prose. I heard this right before I was set to spend a day helping my client, Claire Billingsley, tape her
