❤️❤️❤️

Another Small Business that has greatly impacted me through the years, is All Things Social .

I met Sami back in 2016 when we were both working fulltime for small businesses. Our passion for marketing instantly connected us and over the years, Sami has grown her passion into her own business.

All Things Social is about building communities and making social media “social” again. If you are looking for social media guidance, help running your social media or looking to connect with other business professionals - Sami and All Things Social is my go-to!

This morning on the first day of celebrating Small Business Month, I had the pleasure of hearing Rachel Edwards, founder of Insperai Inc.. I've had the pleasure of knowing and learning from her for roughly two years, and this morning she said something that just "clicked".

She said, "People Skills are NOT Soft Skills." And this one sentence meant a lot to me. In my heart I already knew this, and she had one heck of a way to reinforce it. I've literally built a career and a business off of "people skills". On social media. In networking. Through all of my volunteering over the past 25 years.

Thank you, Rachel, for giving me something that I'll be talking about for awhile. And for those that need a boost of inspiration... Rachel, here, founded a tech company that is going to change the game for businesses and teams. I'm so incredibly proud of her. Go give her a follow.

Happy Administrative Professionals Day to the Real MVPs out there!

My Director of Barketing, Hershey, also wears an admin hat at my office. She keeps me on track, makes sure I take my scheduled breaks, and lets me know when mail and packages arrive.

Thank you for all of your hard work!

I’m pretty sure my mom meant to include “Volunteer” as one of my middle names. 👏

Today we celebrate the incredible volunteers who make it all possible. 💙

Your time, energy, and heart strengthen our community in ways that don’t go unnoticed. Because of you, we’re more connected and full of possibility.

Thank you for all that you do today and every day.

If you’re looking to upgrade your game in the photo taking department… here’s your chance. MJCollins Photography is such a great teacher.

Did you get a new camera or just want to learn how to take better cell phone photos or use your DSLR camera?

Get to know the fundamentals of taking your pictures from a simple snapshot to something more preconceived and creative!

Thank you for making my dream come true! I’ve often joked, “I just want to ignore people and eat pizza at Archstone Workspace.”

Today that was made a reality. We were all hyper focused for nearly two hours before the pizza delivery interrupted us.

We might have to do it again.
