When people ask me about what I am working on, I respond in the worst possible way. I will look you dead in the eye, shrug my shoulders, cross my fingers and say, "Here's hoping it will all work out." Bullshit. There is not much in this world that I have not plotted and planned… Continue reading Marketing In The Mountains

Woodstock – A City Unexpected
This past Spring, I got the opportunity to spend a week in Woodstock, Georgia. It is a small city, just north of metro Atlanta. I went there for a business trip, specifically for the Regional Visitor Information Center conference, but ended up experiencing a very cool bleisure trip! (Just what is bleisure? It's business mixed… Continue reading Woodstock – A City Unexpected
Epic Honeymoon: Paris Edition
I remember back in 2007, I had a moment of distress. Here I was flying over Europe heading to Cairo, Egypt, realizing that I was heading somewhere else, somewhere other than Paris. As a child, my one little international dream was ALWAYS Paris. Granted, I have been extraordinarily fortunate to travel to places some people only dream of visiting.… Continue reading Epic Honeymoon: Paris Edition

44 Years… And what did I learn?
I am just days away from celebrating 44 trips around the Sun, and with that type of mileage on this Earth, it is customary that I recap the lessons I have learned and the ideas I hold to be true. These are the types of things I wish my 15-year-old, or 25-year-old, or even 35-year-old… Continue reading 44 Years… And what did I learn?
Are You Living A Life Worth Living?
I was just lounging on my couch listening to this song and looking at some old pictures. I thought I would post the song above, and maybe you could hit play and listen. It's incredibly relaxing, slightly haunting, and wistful. I got to thinking about how good it feels to be at a certain point… Continue reading Are You Living A Life Worth Living?
You Are Going Someplace New
We are all a week into the New Year. So many promises, so many plans, so many goals to achieve. I'd like to believe that I have started out strong, knocking off each and every detail I needed to in order accomplish my goals. The truth is - I've been under the weather, and just… Continue reading You Are Going Someplace New
Going With the Flow
2017 has not disappointed. I started the New Year celebrating the last night of Hanukkah with dear friends in my old home town of Macon.Fried foods (to represent the oil,) beef brisket, and of course a little dreidel was the center of the celebration. It was nice to sit and laugh with old friends and… Continue reading Going With the Flow
Magic Kingdom Hangover
It officially happened - I, Nicole, visited and experienced Walt Disney World. It was everything I thought it would be: Hectic, Expensive, Crowded, and Full of Children. It was also: Beautiful, Very Clean, Delicious, and made me giggle like a little kid from time to time. Was it worth it? Heck yeah. Check that one-off… Continue reading Magic Kingdom Hangover
Wine, Western Wear, & Weddings
About two weeks ago, Tim called me as I was walking to my hair appointment in Downtown Americus to inform me that we would be taking a spontaneous overnight trip on Saturday. Of course, as a proud member of the under-utilized Wanderlust club, I was completely over the moon. I asked him where we were… Continue reading Wine, Western Wear, & Weddings
