Full disclosure: I am married to a tennis-playing nut. He went to state in high school and continues to win local tournaments (in his age bracket, but still). So I am highly aware of the do’s and don’ts of the sport, even though I’ve rarely put a sneakered foot on Read more…
So I’ll admit, as a woman who’s shorter than your average height, I know how bad heels are for me, and I will probably continue to wear them for years yet. (I have to be able to look people in the eye. Or at least closer to it.) But some Read more…
I continue to be amazed by the next generation that’s been attending my alma mater, Mizzou, and, in particular, the women that have been active members at my sorority, Alpha Phi. It had been suggested a few months ago that I profile a recent alum that had published a children’s Read more…

I’ve been working with Four Corners Creative for about 6 months now, and I’m always impressed by the programs that Kate Meek, their founder and CEO, puts together. Her marketing materials before she came to me, on the other hand… We’ve been working on her website this fall, adding a Read more…
Last year, I had the immense pleasure of going back to my alma mater to celebrate my sorority’s 100th anniversary at the University of Missouri. Over 600 Alpha Phis, past and present, converged on the quad for a celebratory photo before our celebratory gala. A year later, I was able Read more…
