Today we lost Trey Pennington, an author and Social Media consultant based in Greenville, SC. He lost his battle with depression and took his own life this morning.

Just watched Scott Stratten’s Keynote speech, he was funny as usual, and then I went to see Jay Baer and Amber Naslund’s talk about “NOW Revolution” …their new book coming out in February.

So last few weeks have been a bit crazy. There was Uvic LipDub- it was an absolutely amazing experience. I was there with my son around 7am, and we lip-synced out hearts out, lots of waiting around (but we knew that), I stayed until 3pm and was absolutely exhausted…but all I did was just waiting [...]

This week I had a few interesting conversations on and off-line. One of them was about relationships. It’s very difficult to write about it without giving away too much personal details, but my question was this; In a relationship, how much are you making it up to be what you want it to be? Say [...]
