A Belated Happy Birthday to Elbert Williams

Happy Birthday, Mr. President!

January 23, 2017November 3, 2016 / Leslie / Leave a comment

#FlashbackFridays Originally published on January 23, 2013 For the past 15 years, it has been virtually impossible to go and visit my grandma without seeing "Grandma Jennie". Not only was she often outside or in the lobby when we arrived, she would often strategically need to open her door for something just as we hit … Continue reading Happy Birthday, Mr. President!

Thankful Thursdays: Keep Your Thank You’s Fresh

Where Did the Week Go? I can't believe it's Wednesday! There was Friday. Friday morphed into Memorial Day. Then Memorial Day became Wednesday. At least that's how I remember it. Luckily, I have been using DailyMile.com to track my workouts. Last week, after I realized I was stuck at the same 6 pound weight loss … Continue reading Be Honest With Yourself

New Year, Another Calendar, Different Goals

January 3, 2012November 3, 2016 / Leslie / Leave a comment

I have never been able to fit within the box. Never. But, in the last few years, I have started to embrace that. A few years ago, I spent much of 2009 grieving people and commitments that I had planned to be a part of my life forever. During this time, I found healing for current and … Continue reading New Year, Another Calendar, Different Goals

Leslie

Leslie discovered the power of the pen in the third grade after her family moved to a new school district. Writing became a way to sort out her new surroundings and escape to fantasy landscapes. That child, and voice, has matured into a poet, writer, blogger, journalist, online content creator and editor. Leslie is a social entrepreneur with a demonstrated commitment to community. She is an active community member in Washtenaw County (Michigan) with expertise in social media marketing and content management systems, volunteer coordination and writing and 13 years of experience in the areas of online community management, training, leadership development, and social networking. She is interested in facilitating connection with both community residents and businesses. Through this work, the economy of the community is improved and the organizations are financially successful. Her main mode of advocacy and online community, however, is through writing.
