I sort of get it. When I send notes home or newsletters I use the same font and layout so if parents are paying attention, they'll notice that this is another document from their crazy speech therapist. Of course I hope they think a little better of me than that, but if that's as good as it gets, I'm okay with that. It's better than just another paper to move from the kid's backpack into the trash.

Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

A group of us connect when someone is looking for work to help them think about it. That kind of authentic relationship is what helped me most when I was offered the job I have now. With some spirituality in there I guess that’s how I see my personal branding.
One of my mentors would talk about the goals, values, communication style, being authentic etc in building a reputation. It’s worked so far for me.‘The negative feelings we all have can be addictive…just as the positive…it’s up to

So do I! People have reputations, products have brands. Maybe it's semantics, but language is important and words carry connotations. Originally Posted by rebeccaC

I'm not sure 'reputation' is what I'm after.
Maybe 'persona' is a better fit for what I do.Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

Image seems a perfectly fine word in this context.

Chile Pepper! I was just wondering about you. How's everything going?

Aw, thanks, Oak. Everything is fine, but man is life hectic. We are heading into summer here, so it's the end of the school year for my two boys. My oldest is graduating 8th grade, and he has been something of a challenge this year (adolescence--what can you do?). Our school is K through 12, so no change, but I'm still hoping things even out next year. We are trying to expand our winery business, and I have had more freelance work than ever this year, so work is good. And finally, despite the hectic schedule, I am just 300 km short of reaching my 2013 riding goal of 5,000 km! Now, that's km, not miles, but it has been a real challenge for me.
How are things going for you?
