My greatest strength is the drive to keep going until I win.
What are you working on?
I'm on an informational journey to grow as a person and as a professional, while sharpening my ear for opportunity. ...So far, it's actually going really well!

Also, I do a lot of promotional stuff such as this:

-Building help site on creative career-building from the ground up at LeahsGotIt.blogspot.com

-Personal blog is at HicksvilleLiterary.blogspot.com, building Indiana and Midwestern pride and awareness while celebrating the good, amusing, and strange bits of Flyover Country.

-Promotions and event staff for Oranje Indy 2009

-Marketing consultant, copywriter, & strategic geek for GeekeryForRent.com -- Web traffic up 200%. Client development currently 6 months ahead of projected goals. New goal is to double client work by the end of 2010 Q2. Here we go!

Um, also working on time management skills because I LOVES me some social media, but between the full-time job and all this volunteering, my Facebook doesn't see much activity outside of my Blogger importing posts.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled blog post to ask for a Christmas miracle.

So, if you follow my Twitter, you know that this has been a pretty awful day for my big brother.

He and his new wife, Gretchen, recently moved 8 hours from the rest of our family so he can attend Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary in South Bend. This weekend, we all came out to my grandparents' house near Milan, Indiana to celebrate Christmas. Like we have every year since... well, before I existed.

This morning is when they got the call.… Continue

No, this was not meant to be as condescending as it came across, or at all for that matter. I have a problem of typing while I think, and assuming all came out as intended. I am sorry if this caused any disturbance.

By your reply, I gather you somewhat understood I intended nothing negative. Thank you for giving it a chance.

I am not too involved in the networking on here any longer. I have found it to be a waste of more time than not. I do not count it out, but stay reluctant.

When did you complete your B.A.?

Well Leah, as I read through your page here, I fail to know you much better than I did when I started. By the way, I started at zero. I am curious, where did you attend, and what did you study there? I did learn that you are attempting a bit of networking, and I am still seeking the idea as well.

So, nice to meet you, Leah, sort of.

Hi Leah, what I have seen so far about this community I really like! People actually use it frequently which means there's a bunch of useful info on here. I have the feeling I'm just scratching the surface and that is what will keep me coming back.

Thanks for the comment!

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
