Life happens in the uncomfortable.
The view from the floor, surrounded by dogs, coffee and adderall.
Today is International Women's Day, a day to celebrate women and their achievements internationally. It's nice we get a day, isn't it? The 2021 theme is "Choose to challenge." In
My most hated phrase of all time is, "hey do you have a second to chat?" There is never ANY good news that comes with that question. If you ask
It was time to update this blog, the original was written in 2018 and was recently trolled by someone who pointed out several spelling and grammatical errors (oops)...so I figured
Public relation professionals are required to abide by a code of ethics. You can read the entire code here, but for the purpose of this blog, I want to highlight
Hey, I'm Bode.
Writer of musings.
Thanks for swinging by to check out my dogs, my ideas, my super fresh perspective and all the things that annoy me in life.

We’re going to tell you your site is bad, your messaging is jargon, and stock photography from the 90s is burning our eyes. A trifold will not get you a client, and cold calling makes people hate you.

In closing, thank a TSA agent today.
@jenjulien989 I see your post, and I raise you this. Little Bode was 🔥 and sucking her thumb gave her 🦫 Some of us, blossom in their 40s.
