Thank you for all the birthday wishes! Since we are in Mexico we decided to celebrate my birthday by taking a trip back in time. We visited two historical sites, Uxmal and Sayil.

I pride myself on being adventurous when I travel. Sometimes it works out amazingly and sometime I am taken for a ride, literally. A few nights ago we decided we would take the bus to the Gran Plaza. We were under the impression that the Gran Plaza was the main square in the center of [...]

Is it possible to be too hot?

The answer is a big yes.  I found this out recently while working from Merida, Mexico. What the heck am I doing in Merida, Mexico?  Good question, with a simple answer. While it’s possible to be too hot, it’s also possible to be too cold. How can you tell when it’s too cold? When snow [...]

Quotes and Quips

What on Earth did we do before YouTube? How did we watch missed episodes of our favorite TV shows, learn how to get six pack abs in three minutes, or check out the new Old Spice commercial everyone’s raving about – at the click of a button? Before YouTube’s launch in 2005, there were limited [...]

According to the Chinese zodiac, 2011 is the year of the rabbit (beginning February 3rd.) Social media is hopping. Time to jump on it! (with precautions of course...)

What is the coolest acknowledgment you ever received?

By |2016-10-13T16:38:16-04:00December 23rd, 2010|

Recently I received an email from half way around the world acknowledging what we are up to and the difference we are making for people.
