Are You a Writing Hater?

Brian Hanington is the Greatest!

Happy 2012! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I missed you all, and have been going through blogging withdrawals, but my hiatus was a big huge blessing. I gained clarity into what I should be doing with all my ventures. And I finally figured out how to position the brand of Marcie. Allow me…
Many Thanks to People Who Helped Me Move Forward in 2011
I had to come out of my hiatus early to thank everyone whose support, encouragement and bullying (in a loving way) helped me move forward in my endeavors this year. I know some people will be missed; charge it to my mind and not my heart. Of course, I have to give big huge shouts…

If you need to reach me, my information is on my contact form. Have a wonderful and safe holiday season and a…
