  • A Real-Life Field of Dreams

    A Real-Life Field of Dreams

    Recently, I made a career decision that wasn’t driven by title, compensation, or what looked good on paper. It was driven by my heart. This wasn’t about chasing a paycheck. It was about following a leader who is building something worth believing in. When the pandemic hit, many of us were suddenly scattered. Like so…

  • Your Vibe Attracts your Tribe (aka-at least it did in February 2023 until I got in my own way)

    Your Vibe Attracts your Tribe (aka-at least it did in February 2023 until I got in my own way)

    I Finally Finished That Blog Post from February 2023… Back in February 2023, I started writing this blog post after receiving a comment on LinkedIn. I had shared something about my tribe at ExhibitorLive 2023, and someone responded, “Can you say tribe?” That one little comment sent me spiraling—in a thoughtful, tangled, slightly obsessive way.…

    A Rainy Cape Cod Sunday morning…

    I was in Brooklyn for Thanksgiving; while hanging with some close friends, I was surprised when one said, “Hey, why aren’t you blogging anymore?” then all chimed in – yeah, why – they were great! At that moment, I realized that I had not blogged since the passing of my best friend and brother from…

    My new tribe: it’s a dog day afternoon:

    My new favorite tribe. The doggies come in all sorts of sizes, shapes, and personalities. I love them all. This was undoubtedly a full-fledged “out of my comfort zone” endeavor. Working at a doggy daycare – what will people think? – who cares! I want to keep busy. There are always things to do and…

  • What’s Love Got To Do With It?

    What’s Love Got To Do With It?

    This is an oldie but a goodie. Wise exhibiting always stays in style. I began my career with Skyline in 1995 as an “Inside” Sales Consultant. In 1995 Pre-At-Post show promotion was not part of my daily lingo, nor my clients’. The industry was not that sophisticated yet. It was not until I attended The…

    I got to Gladiate (aka: saving KitKat)…Yeah!

    I know what you are thinking; what the hell is gladiating? Gladiating was born sometime around 2018 on a late Sunday morning in Boston. I went to the Convention Center for the Wells Fargo 10×20 install. My client at the time. The booth shipped from show to show – and was handled by a different…

  • Time to look up

    Time to look up

    For the first time in my adult life, I am jobless, partnerless, and childless – at the same time. “Unusually new” is a phrase to describe my current situation. Since my joblessness began (September), I have stayed busy assisting Spencer with applying to college and ultimately helping him settle in. Now he’s there, and I…

  • So many things to talk about…

    So many things to talk about…

    I can’t believe I haven’t blogged since December. Lot’s happening. Too much to talk about in one blog, but I will start with this morsel of information. My child, Spencer, went to college in January, and I was going to write about the empty nest thing, yadda, yadda. It would have made for an exciting…

    I can really do this on a Monday morning…?

    This past weekend I drove to the Poconos, the super upgraded Mount Airy Lodge, to be exact. Yes, for you East coasters out there, the one with the heart shape tubs and the corny jingle from the 70s, for a super fun 60th birthday party for my sister-in-law. My bestie and I had a great…
