		<description><![CDATA[Oh April, my birth month. Signs of spring, flowers pushing up through the ground, the crazy weather, more illness… April was an enigma of sorts. Just when I started to feel like I was getting over pneumonia, I got strep throat – then passed it to two of the kids. Turns out pneumonia will just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know anyone who asks a question or makes a request just to be told &#8220;No&#8221;.  There&#8217;s nothing positive about being told you can&#8217;t do something, have something or be a part of something so it makes sense to me that people shy away from asking important questions or put themselves out there.

		<description><![CDATA[I adore Pinterest. I don’t get to spend as much time on it as I’d like to but when I do, I’m there forever. Pack me a lunch because I’m going to be there awhile. But as much as I like Pinterest, I hate the pinning/re-pinning process. It’s cumbersome because you never know if the [...]]]></description>

Unlike last month, I can&#8217;t use the excuse of preparing for my GM to be out of the office. Last month was her first full month gone. We held our [...]]]></description>

Since I want to really focus on developing new business for myself this year, I figured 2013 was the time to start. Whether you&#8217;re new here or [...]]]></description>

Most notably how many people were interpreting Instagram’s rights in using your photos and what they were entitled to do with your photos. There were majors concerns about Instagram owning your pictures and their right to sell or profit off your picture, largely without your [...]]]></description>

For others though, the experience burned the relationship altogether. I’ve talked about my own experiences before but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Email marketing is still one of the most popular forms of getting the word out to customers and readers. I suspect that has to do with the fact that email marketing is relatively inexpensive and newsletters are fairly easy to create with little to know technical knowledge.
