So Much for Encouraging and Uplifting
I had a conversation with a guy who gives seminars ranging from $497 (early bird rate) to $997. He sent me the information and I told him that it wasn’t in my spending plan at this time. I also told him that I would catch him next time. If giving workshops is what he does,…

Blogging While Brown Was a Dream Come True
Blogging While Brown (BWB) was a dream come true for me on so many levels. First, my Live Blogging 101 presentation was a success.

It’s Okay Not to OFFER to help
This past month several people have offered to help me with writing my sponsorship letter to send the letter to potential sponsors to help with my presentation for the Blogging While Brown conference And none of these people have followed through.
