Nothing says spring like high heeled shoes! Except maybe yellow pine pollen.

My holiday tradition includes the celebration of Three Wise Men bearing gifts. Gold is the only gift I can spell correctly, so I typed ‘tinsel’ instead. You — my readers, friends, colleagues, mentors, clients — are not a substitution for a Wise Man’s gift. You are the Wise Men who came bearing gifts to me. Words can not begin to convey the many ways in which you have enriched my life this past year. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

Gold, Tinsel and You

One of my most favorite movies ev-ah! (The other is The Wizard of Oz) I’m glad it’s the six “remaining” cast members who will be attending. I mean, it’s Halloween and all, but seeing Rhett (Clark Gable) now would not be nearly as hot as the movie.

Warner Home Video and Turner Classic Movies have selected Marietta as the location for the exclusive 70th anniversary re-premiere of “Gone With the Wind,” and six of the remaining cast members will help kickoff the gala celebration at a weekend of events November 13-14 on the Square as part of the city’s 175th anniversary, which will also be celebrated.

The re-premiere will be more hands-on than the 1939 premiere, Patrick Curtis, who played baby Beau Wilkes in the movie, said. “The re-premiere will emphasize interaction between the stars and fans.”

Frankly, Scarlett, I Don’t Give a Damn

How do you keep learning? My favorite online tools for learning are Twitter and Google Reader. I scan the Twitter stream for headlines with links of interest and mark them as Favorites for later review. My rss feed reader of choice is Google Reader. It’s chock full of wisdom shared by marketing and public relation professionals, social business strategists, small business owners, writers and pastors.

I attend seminars, workshops, networking events. And, I talk.

How about you? What are your favorite ways to learn and expand your thinking?

Working hard for lots of folks and not so much on your own business? Me, too.
So, I thought I’d throw a Whine party. Maybe I should order a hotdog, too.
