Welcome to the first installment of a series in which I’ll share some tips & tricks to help any who might like to automate some tweets, but don’t know where to start. Why do I say “SOME” tweets? Stick aroundddddddddddd. In a nutshell, before you decide to automate, ask yourself these two things … What…
Say it isn’t so !! But it is. Damn it !! Thought I’d jump on the #TuesdayThoughts and #TuesdayMotivation bandwagon with an observation. I watch my #unfollowers with Statusbrew and have noticed a number of authors among recent unfollowers, which begs the question … Why would authors unfollow other authors? Some possible but also irrelevant…
There are people who love drama and who unabashedly wear their dirty laundry … they don’t just hang it on the line for everyone to see … they sport it like a trophy. You know the type? “Oh, I’m so sad today.” [ a magnet for a bazillion “What’s wrong?” sympathy replies ] That is…
I’m compelled to share a DM I received yesterday in the name of my ongoing pursuit of #TwitterGraciousness. I have blogged about that before, and am passionate about calling out #trolls and all those who disturb the peace in my little #Twitterverse. Face it … if you’re reading this, it is because YOU are in…
I always enjoy the no-bullshit presentation of John Oliver in Last Week Tonight. If you’ve never seen the show, I recommend it. With sarcasm and humor, Oliver ‘tells it like it is.’ This episode was funny AND delivered need-to-know content about how much false or skewed information is presented as science. It’s almost 20 minutes in length, but…
Quite simply, if you’re not impressed when you read this impassioned plea by @AmaniJnana ‘s Managing Director, I’d seek the nearest defibrillator PDQ … cuz you’re a cyborg! Please be a part of this incredible effort. Carry or grace another with a bag of distinction. Know that you dignified parents and facilitated their girls’ education…
When I first thought of this topic for a blog post, I reflexively thought of the experience of writing my memoir, which is about to drop very soon. It was very hard for me to relive the events about which I wrote. The road to completion was riddled with speed bumps, many of which I…
Indulge me, if you will, in a little history … Four score and seven yea … NO … WAIT … that’s too far back … About eighteen months ago, I ran a crowdfunding campaign in advance of finishing my book. I’ve never plainly spelled out the details of why I undertook writing it, other than…
Hey Friends !! I would like to give a shout-out to a company with a great mission and an upcoming Kickstarter that I hope you’ll all watch out for. Check out and like their Facebook page facebook.com/amani.friends/ and, even better, hit up their web site http://www.amanibags.com/business-philosophy.html to read their philosophy and see their product range. We could…
I love Catcher in the Rye … it’s a book I’ve read again and again, like a compulsion. Sometimes I actually miss Holden and want to revisit his almost-unwitting rebellious angst. I identify well with him, which is probably making you think I’ve taken leave of my senses. Nevertheless, imagine my chagrin when learning that Salinger actually…
