  Posted on February 14, 2013 by admin in Articles, Business Advice.

  The reason Maria Veloso wrote the book Web Copy That Sells: The Revolutionary Formula for Creating Killer Copy Every Time “is to teach…the principles of web copywriting so you can write web copy yourself…[Her] goal is to teach…how to take your writing skills and apply them to web writing” (p.3). Because according to Veloso, “Web [...]

  Posted on October 15, 2012 by admin in Portfolio.

    The 2012 primary elections are over and studies, such as How Redistricting Affected Voter Behavior In The 2012 Primaries, have been completed. But the 2012 election story is far from being over. In less than a month across America, on Tuesday, November 6 to be exact, any eligible voters who haven’t already voted through [...]

• Validation Through Addiction

  Posted on August 27, 2012 by admin in Relationship Stories.

  “I don’t get you. Where are you coming up with this? All of a sudden you’re Miss Perfect and I’m just a loser, a piece of crap!” and the argument begins again. This is not the first time Steve and I have had this discussion. Steve just never seems to remember because he’s either drunk [...]

• They’ll Always Need Mommy

  Posted on August 27, 2012 by admin in Relationship Stories.

  I remember when my children were just babies, I would think to myself, “When they grow up and have babies of their own, it will be so nice to not have to worry about them anymore.” I actually believed a day would come when I would no longer get tearful calls from my little ones [...]

• The Old Man and The Taxi

  Posted on August 27, 2012 by admin in Business Advice.

  The first business trip I took by myself was to a suburb of Newark, New Jersey. Newark’s one of those cities where you don’t want to drive yourself and you definitely don’t want the car you’re riding in to break down. Even a seasoned business traveler would feel some anxiety. Ground transportation was a joke [...]

• The Discipline of Solitude

  Posted on August 27, 2012 by admin in Devotionals, Relationship Stories.

  This may be hard to believe, especially if you know anything about me and how introverted I am, but it wasn’t until just recently that I heard about this whole idea of practicing solitude as an actual discipline, a spiritual discipline at that, a way to get closer to God. Of course, I’m familiar with [...]

• Learning to Let Go

  Posted on August 26, 2012 by admin in Devotionals, Relationship Stories.

  I just got back from spending a weekend with a bunch of fellow aspiring Christian communicators and some already highly-respected ones. It was a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime experience I will never forget. I learned so much about communication in general, our role as God’s advocates here on earth, and my role as an individual. One of [...]

• Embrace Your Introversion

  Posted on August 26, 2012 by admin in Relationship Stories.

  I was a painfully shy child growing up. This was not a particularly good quality since my father was a very ambitious young man and moved us to five different cities in four states between the time I entered Kindergarten and the time I graduated from high school. Making new friends was difficult at best. [...]

In South Carolina, the primary elections were [...]
