I agree with Chris. Don’t take the holidays off from creating content for your blog.
Many companies do scale back on a lot of tasks during the Thanksgiving-to-Christmas-to-New Year holiday period. This is our opportunity to shine.

This post will give you a little insight into my running-crazy-brain these days.
I woke up one morning last week from a dead sleep with this quote in my head: “Don’t social media the kids, fly out and embarrass them in person.” I have no idea why. And I have no idea where it came from.

I am embarrased to say [...]
