I never realized how important blogging was to me and my thinking process until I had to take a break a few months ago due to professional obligations. I felt a big part of my thinking process, the ability to step back and analyze information critically, to expand my mind to apply of all that I was learning – that part of my mind had been muted. There were, there are, ideas, opinions and thoughts that needed to be brought to life, examined and voiced within the screen on my computer – I am excited to have an opportunity to ignite that part of my creativity again.

I re-engage with my blogging efforts with a reminder of my audience – my family, friends, colleagues, peers, teachers, confidantes, clients past and present and those whom I haven’t had the opportunity to meet. With the enormous amount of blog content available I appreciate your follow and support. I look forward to many blog posts in the coming months as I explore the application of social media to small business and brand building, emerging technology from a marketer’s point of view, social media as a direct marketing tactic, and the different events/organizations that I am involved with. I will try to keep my posts topics organized, but I will have to admit that sometimes I will be so excited to share a new insight or piece of information and I might sneak in a random blog post fair warning it is going to happen.
