Where does the time go? I’ll tell you that the older I get, the faster time flies by.  I’m getting older and find I can do less in a day than I could 10 years ago.

It’s hard to keep all the balls in the air, and seems harder the older I get.  Well, like most of you, I’ve been staying home, in self quarantine, 99% of the time for the last 2 months or so.

January is typically the month I rest up and take a little break, but this year the new season seems to have come earlier….. working on websites for The Bangor Art Society, Belfast Harbor Artisans, converting GlassOrchids.com over to GlassOrchids.art, working on a site for my sister, and one Read More

For very personal reasons I’m beginning to think Google has entirely too much power over our internet lives. As a business, being well indexed is integral to survival, and yet, it’s becoming more necessary to pay to get a high index placement.  In the categories I’m in, companies like Etsy and Read More
