If you are living in a cave, perhaps you have missed that today is Cyber Monday, that tradition of just a decade of pointing at an icon and then clicking as opposed to pointing at a window display and then clicking your heels inside the store. Cyber Monday became a “thing” as a response to…
We are in the thick of the days of October, the time of year that baseball fans, players and sportswriters live for. October is the month of heroics on the pitching mound, at the plate and in the field. Unfortunately for baseball, the number of people watching the World Series has been getting lower and…
We’re living through an era of tremendous change. We have read about people who lived through the Industrial Revolution. Perhaps older relatives have told you about buying their first television. Lots of us and our kids can no longer conceive of a time before cell phones. (How many “Seinfeld” episodes would need to be rewritten…
Do you ever feel that images are rushing by you? There are so many that come into our space, onto our screens, in our reading material, on our Facebook feeds. I had the opposite experience recently: one where I could focus on one image for a while. I have to tell you, it was majestic,…

For those of us who run small businesses and own homes and have kids and partners, we have learned lots of lessons, some painful. Here are just a few: Social media…
I’m so not type A. Really, one look inside my purse or my car or most of my closets will assure you of that. Yes, I’m the people person creative type. I was a good science and math student too—but the obsessive parts of me are just not aligned with neatness, order and the like. …
Today I saw a proposal from a market competitor of K2M Creative Media. A friend shared it with me, knowing that because of the many complicated layers of friendships between me and her company, I wouldn’t bid for her firm’s website build, but that I’d give an honest and educated opinion.

At a recent family gathering a cousin asked me, not for the first time, if I was still working in a particular job. It’s been several years…so, no, I’m not. How and why I started my business became the focus of our conversation. I enjoyed putting into words what motivated me to create K2M Creative…
