I’m delighted to announce that I’m hosting the BowlHer channel on BlogTalkRadio to celebrate the outstanding event happening next Saturday in Chicago. We’ll be gathering to meet, greet, and celebrate the online / offline world that social media folks have come to expect and enjoy.

And the live music and special guests are an awesome part of all that will be one heck of an evening with five off-site parties and livestreaming.

Join Liz Strauss Tonight with Special Guest Brooke White

Universal Motown newcomer Suai has made a soaring, soulful debut album that more than lives up to her promise. Raised in the legendary R&B confines of Detroit, the plucky singer combines her silky swagger with a veteran’s poise to deliver the kind of riveting, multi-themed musical journey that music fans won’t soon forget.

Beach Notes: What Would You Wish for Today?

by


by Guest Writers Suzie Cheel and Des Walsh

Every time I saw a well as a child I had to stop and pretend to through in penny, even if I didn’t have one.

wishingwell

Winter is here. After a few mornings of suffering frozen toes from going barefoot on the beach we have taken to putting on shoes and socks and varying our walking path

We have walked up to Point Danger many times, this morning was the first we had focussed on this wishing well.

Our immediate thought was that this would be a great Beach Note. It also reminded me of my childhood and the joy of discovering a wishing well, tossing in a coin and making a wish.

So just pretend, drop in a coin and make a wish

Here’s your chance … What would you wish for today?

The Specials this Week are

Levite Chronicles
You are going to talk to some people this week who aren’t completely upbeat.

in over your head
If I do this boring job long enough and well enough, I’ll be promoted to the job that’s fast-paced and exciting. That’s the job I really want.

Talking Story with Say Leadership Coaching
I doubt anyone micromanages intentionally. No one likes to think they are being accused of doing it, and no one wants to be on the receiving end of a micro-manager’s reach.

Virtual Impax
Social Media is shifting the balance of power in the relationship between consumers and the businesses that serve them from caveat emptor (buyer beware) to caveat venditor (seller beware) and the easy to use mass communication tool known as social media is the sole reason for this shift.

Remarkable Communication
Does any of this have anything at all to do with writing, blogging, or communication?
Of course it does, silly!

If you can’t dye your hair pink at the moment, you can still write like someone who does.

Related ala carte selections include

AdRants
Vandalism of a whole new kind?

Book Launch from the Middle Zone!

by

celebrateYeehaw! Hey, ya’ll, come celebrate with me, won’t you?
Why are we celebrating, you ask?
OK, since you ask, I’ll tell ya! July 15, 2009 is a banner day for little ol’ me because it’s the official launch of my very first book from Middle Zone Publishing (sound of crowd cheering enthusiastically)!
Yep; writing a book wasn’t even a glimmer in my eye way back when I first started blogging – and by an amazing series of events, it’s actually come to pass! In fact, being a writer is something I’ve wanted to do ever since I discovered my grandmother’s attic nearly 50 years ago.
I want to take a moment and thank my dear friend Liz Strauss for kick-startin’ the whole process some years ago when she accused me of bein’ a “writer”, of all things! I mean, who knew? Plus, I want to also thank all of YOU – Terry Starbucker and the whole SOBCon gang of desperados – you all had a hand in helping shape me into the writer I am today.
hat-tip-thumbAnyhoo – now that I’ve made the further move from writer to “author”, well, all I can say is:
Thanks, y’all, from the bottom of my Texas heart, and a big ol’ tip o’ the hat to ya! (Oh, and p.s.- Please buy the book! Just sayin’;-)
