Social Media Club South Florida - Engaging Creative Communities

Posted on | June 20, 2009 | No Comments

Back in December, I became part of the organizing committee for Social Media Club South Florida (@SMCSF). It’s been great to be amongst others who care about growing the Social Media scene in South Florida as well as increase awareness and educate and of course, grow community.

This past meeting in June was focused on how creatives use social media to grow community and enhance their brand - aptly titled “Creative Community Engagement and Engaging Creative Communities.”  We had a panel of 5 creatives:

…and I moderated the panel.

We were able to cover some great topics, such as how they manage their social media efforts, their favorite apps, and how transparent they are to their followers. Afterward, Steve’s band, PALO! laid down some spirited Afro-funky grooves. It was a great night.

Presentation at LaidOffCamp Miami

Posted on | June 20, 2009 | No Comments

Ideas take a while to marinate, simmer, and then come out fully cooked. After a lively conversation with Daniel Burka at FOWA earlier this year, I have had the idea for a presentation about the practical outcomes of following your passion (and what happens when you don’t). Based on my own experiences, I have found that not listening to your inner voice and doing “what you are supposed to do” has actually been detrimental to my career. Instead of keeping me safe with a “good” job with “good money” (one of my biggest pet peeves of phrases), working jobs that I was not passionate about kept me small, disguntled, and actually chipped away at my belief in myself and my capacities.

When I saw a tweet from Rick Tuttle (@RickTuttle) that LaidOffCamp Miami was looking for presenters, I knew that is was time to take that presentation idea out of the oven of my head and set it on the table in front of a potentially hungry audience.  Edwin (@TheRealEdwin) fortuitously videoed the presentation (in two parts), so now you can get fired up about all of the possibilities that exist for you in the world too.

If you can dream it, you can live it.

Gardenscaping - my vision of things to come

Posted on | April 15, 2009 | No Comments

Gardening has been a consuming passion for me lately. I can’t wait until the evenings when I can go outside and sculpt my yard to match the vision that I have in my head (and on paper).  Here is my plan: no grass AT ALL in the backyard (grass is highly overated in my opinion), and only garden beds full of edibles, medicinals, and fragrant plants and mulched paths.

Here is the sketch that I drew up over Christmas that is my working blueprint:

My friend Maria de los Angeles (@vicequeenmaria), who volunteers for Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, came by to check what I have done so far and let me share my vision of extreme yard transformation.
