I’m Saying No to Gimmicks and Yes to Meaningful Collaboration

 After 32 years in the restaurant and hospitality industry, I’ve learned the difference between genuine opportunity and clever marketing dressed up to look like one. And I see it often—especially in the world of content creation.

If you’ve ever been offered a “brand ambassador” deal where you must buy the product at a discount, promote it with a personal code, and get little more than exposure in return, then you already know the game. It’s a model that benefits the brand far more than it empowers the creator. And while there’s no shame in starting small, there is power in knowing your worth.

As a seasoned professional, content creator, and creative business coach, I’ve stepped back from these gimmick-style offers. I’m building something lasting. A wraparound brand experience that connects the dots between storytelling, product placement, and lifestyle authenticity.

My Vision

I’m not here to hawk products.
I’m here to tell stories that stick.
To create content that feels like something.
To blend everyday use with elevated taste.
And to show what real, relatable value looks like in a fast-scrolling world.

Whether I’m cooking up something beautiful in my kitchen, curating an experience around wine and artisanal food, or sharing farm life with my American Saddlebred horse, Ruby—my content is always rooted in connection, taste, and truth.

My intentions

  • 32-year restaurant industry professional

  • Educator, life coach, and art teacher

  • Content creator focused on storytelling, psychology, and lifestyle branding

  • Horse owner and western lifestyle enthusiast

  • Cook, creative, and entrepreneur blending real life with real marketing

I work with companies that value substance over flash—brands that want their product to live inside a curated moment, not just a product shelfie with a hashtag.
And I’m currently seeking thoughtful brand collaborations in:

  • Wine, chocolate, and cheese

  • Western/ranch-inspired wear and equestrian gear

  • Pet lifestyle products

  • Creative kitchen & cooking products

  • Beauty & wellness (with soul and sustainability)

Why My Blog Still Matters

In the fast-paced world of Reels, TikToks, and swipe culture, this blog is my anchor.
It’s where I expand the story.
It’s where I bring people deeper into the experience I’m curating.
It’s the place where my content lives long after the algorithm forgets.

Every post here wraps back to my social media—a true ecosystem of curated content, purposeful promotion, and meaningful lifestyle branding. It’s not just about clicks. It’s about connection.


The Wrap Around Model: What That Means

The concept of “wrap-around content” is simple but intentional. I build content with layers:

  • A visual experience on social (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube)

  • A personal perspective on my blog

  • A call to action that moves people to connect with the brand

  • A real-time experience that places your product in an organic lifestyle setting

  • This strategy builds brand trust and longevity. And it’s working.

The Other Side...Of What?

 I think where I last left you, last blog post, I was stepping back. I was changing things, redirecting, grabbing my camera and heading... SOMEWHERE! As an entrepreneur, you get to change it as many times as you desire! You wear many hats, many glasses, switch up products and you get to offer as many services as you are talented to do! Since our last visit, I rejoined AVON and re-signed with the Gourmet Cupboard. I also am waiting on status to be a brand ambassador for l'ange hair products and tools! I have ordered new business cards for my photography, I had another art show and I had a fabulous painting class that I taught for 11 women! I had 4 brand new tires put on my car and again had some exhaust issues fixed on the vehicle that at this time, I am keeping instead of trying to maintain a new car payment. That may have more to do with new car payment vs horse board! I said I was stepping back but it looks like I just went in another direction... AGAIN! The podcast set up I had ...

Parts Of The Missing Puzzle

****When He Had Her**** She didn't need to explain anything to anyone anymore. That was the thing about hurt, grief and anger, she did what she needed to do to cope. Over a long period, she had been through more emotional hell than anyone could imagine With no choice left, she had picked up the pieces and replaced them in some order. At this point, the only thing that mattered was how her current pieces were gonna fit! It was a puzzle, missing pieces with no rhyme or reason. Speculation, deductions, detective work, voices from a crowd that loved to talk... and who had seen first hand. A mystery... with no resolve. Questionable choices made from drunken behavior. Low self-worth on his part that he would settle for the likes of an unappealing manipulating repulsive looking woman. She had caused enough ruckus amongst quite a few of his kind and yet he let her bull doze her way in. For the sake of not being alone and letting someone put his house in order. What had he said to her...

The Keeper Of All Secrets

 Good Lord, I heard my Gram's voice this morning! In her funny tone, she says, because my Gram was witty; "I always liked Ronald Regan" What would that have to do with anything is beyond me? That is the thing when you are clairvoyant... messages, phrases, and hearing glimpses from those gone, you have to leave interpretation and the deciphering play out until you understand the message/meaning. {I guess I liked Ronald Regan too. He rode horses and his wife was big-time into astrology!} Ha! An actor who played significant roles in his life to shape a nation that needed to be reformed. "Mr Gorbajev, take down the wall" is about the only thing I can remember. Again why that would have anything to do with what is going on in my world is beyond my scope at the moment! *************************************************************** My Gram was hell-bent on teaching us manners and how to be poised. She taught, us how to be a lady, with closed legs and closed mouths! (t...
