Friday, February 27th, 2009

I have a confession to make – I am completely and utterly in love, bordering on obsession! I am experiencing a crazy mix of emotions on hourly – sometimes momentary basis – excitement, delight, nervousness, fear, gratitude and more excitement. My mind is constantly racing. It’s even beginning to affect my dreams! I envision a […]

It’s wonderful to know that business publications are interested in corporate philanthropy and was thrilled to be included in the article! In […]

I have to say, for anyone looking to expand their visibility on web, there’s definitely no shortage of opportunities. It’s mind boggling how much time and brain power you can invest into the various ways to promote your business online. At least we can say we’re working ON rather than IN our business, right?

Girl Power video

Monday, October 13th, 2008

In case you haven’t seen this video yet http://www.girleffect.org/#/video/, I found it extremely powerful and touching. In today’s world – as reflected by daily headlines proclaiming despair and panic – it’s empowering to know that some of us ARE thinking about making a difference in the world.

Developing responsible strategies

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is front and center these days as many companies become increasingly aware and engaged in making a difference globally, regionally and/or locally.
