First Post
After being on the fence for ages about whether or not to start a blog, I finally jumped in.
My main inspiration for this came from two bloggers. One is Dianna Huff of DH Communications, whose Marcom Writer Blog is packed with business-to-business marketing tactics and Dianna’s delightfully insightful, informed, and intelligent perspective. The other is Morra Aarons-Mele who writes on BlogHer, the Huffington Post, and elsewhere. I am impressed with how frequently she posts (baby notwithstanding!), how well she writes, the breadth of her intelligence and scope, and how candid she is.
I’m awed by the high quality of these and other blogs I have been reading and by the frequency of their posts. I start this blog with trepidation and humility. My topic, as the name suggests, is work-life balance.
My intention is to use this space to be a little more informal, creative, and spontaneous than I am in my monthly newsletter, Strategies for Change, which I will continue to publish. And full disclosure, I am not above posting something from my newsletter here from time to time.
Thank you, Dianna and Morra, for the inspiration and the high standards you have set.
And a second round of appreciation to Dianna, who has been my trusted internet marketing advisor, mentor, coach, and ok, Goddess. Thanks also to Rachel Cunliffe of Created Designs for the design and functionality of the blog.
