Here's to the New Year and a New Blog!

As tradition for many, I've made some resolutions this year. I'm going to strive to live my "Best Life" along with Oprah and improve many of the typical things like health, weight and money, but I'm also going to work on increasing my online presence via social media. So here I am with my first blog.

To be honest, I'm not very comfortable with this writing online thing, but I need to start somewhere. I think I'll just start off with sharing what's going on in my life and see how it evolves. Topics may include:

• Marketing - I work for Boelter + Lincoln Marketing Communications and manage some great campaigns and initiatives for some cool clients in the tourism, recreation, education and media industries. I've been in the industry for over 17 years and enjoy reading and sharing experiences.
• Social Media - I've been active online for years, but not as much in the social media world. To be honest, it's growing so fast that it's hard to keep up while doing everything else. I'm already an active user of Facebook and LinkedIn and as of this week, I'm using Twitter. I'll share some of my thoughts and adventures as I play in the Web 2.0 world.
• Knitting/Crochet - I love to knit and crochet, but I've never really tracked or shared my projects. I've read lots of other knitting/crochet blogs and gathered some great project ideas and tips. I'll share some of my projects here.

That's about it for now, but who knows, I may share some other musings or current events. Just remember, I'm new to this and I hope to learn and become better at blogging. Please share your comments, tips and feedback. I look forward to connecting with you all and joining the online conversation.
