Whenever something is bothering me, just saying it out loud takes an enormous weight off my shoulders. We tell children to “use their words” and for adults, it’s really no different. We have complex emotions, but when we take the time to articulate our feelings, the negative energy we’ve been holding inside begins to dissipate.
That’s [...]

just keeping it real
I named this blog “under the MAC” because I live and think in metaphors. The title symbolizes a personal transformation that took place over a period of years— where I shed the layers of my professional identity and in the process discovered (or rediscovered) myself.
I’m realizing this is an ongoing process. I continue to strip [...]

writing to heal
I have this habit of writing things and forgetting I wrote them. This morning, I picked up the journal that sits at my bedside table and started flipping through the pages. My first reaction was, I wrote that? When did I write that?
I’m always impressed by my stream-of-consciousness writing… it’s full of insight. The words [...]

how do you define success?
At 35, I think I’ve finally earned the right to call myself a “grown-up.” At least it’s taken me this long to feel like one. And there are days I still have my doubts.
I spent my 20’s trying to figure out what success really meant to me… how it looked, how it felt, what I [...]

back to basics
I haven’t forgotten I owe you an update on MyMeWriMo. I’m not attempting to tease you. There will be no grand reveal: Surprise! I wrote a whole book in one month, and I’m searching for an agent now!
Not. But I did make progress and have some interesting revelations to share. I’ll get to that later this week.
First, [...]

i still wear MAC
Recently I hosted the Charleston Holiday Parade for our local cable station, Comcast C2. It’s something I’ve done for the past four years and I really enjoy it. This year, as I dig deeper into my writing about a major life change that resulted in leaving the TV business… I’ve become well aware of the [...]

secret side revealed
Today, I’m honored to be featured over at The Sassy Steel Magnolia. My assignment: talk about a time when one of my secret sides revealed itself… how it happened and how I came to terms with it.
Last week, I declared my commitment to writing my story. Today, I take you on the road, to the time when [...]

matters of the heart
Many of the themes in my writing are inspired by a major life transition. If you follow this blog or know me personally, you know I used to work full-time in television news. I worked my way through the ranks: college degree in journalism, intern, producer, reporter and anchor. I did what most “successful” people [...]

Say what you need to say
I’m not one to get on my soapbox (usually) and most of the time I strive to be diplomatic. I pay attention to politics, but I don’t align myself with the left or the right. My typical MO is to listen to what people have to say, try to keep an open mind and go [...]

Refreshing Your Professional Image
The Women in Business Conference was a great success! Many thanks to those who attended my breakout session, Refreshing Your Professional Image.
I believe our “image” is most powerful when it radiates from the inside- out. It starts by asking ourselves: what does success look like to me? Some other tips to remember:
