  1. Disney Social Media Moms Celebration PHOTOS

    February 16, 2010 by Leanne

    The Disney Social Media Moms Celebration officially wrapped up four nights ago and I’m still in recuperation stage.  Although today I finally was able to put in a full work day without zoning out. My apologies to my online friends because I have not been keeping up with the content demand. And I’m so thrilled about you visiting my site. I’ve never had so many comments on any one post before and it really thrills me to no end. (Insert giddy smile here.)

    I still need some time to gather my thoughts for a coherent blog post on the entire event. I’ve been visiting some of the site from the bloggers who attended and I am so impressed with their writing talents and amount of content they publish.  Janice and Susan from 5 Minutes For Mom are simply amazing!  Their energy levels are through the roof and it shows in their website.

    While I gather my thoughts, here are some photos from the event. These are a compilation of my pictures, plus photos from Preston Mack – the official Disney photographer on Friday, and Josh Hallet of hyku.com who attended Thursday’s breakfast with Guy Kawasaki.

  2. Book Ban

    December 2, 2009 by Leanne

    Someone needs to ban me from purchasing any  more books until I catch up reading the ones I already have.

    Books

    Two more books just arrived on my doorstep this week from Amazon.com.  I’ve been very fortunate to meet some wonderful people recently who just happen to be authors as well and I can’t wait to read their books.  I met Gary Vaynerchuk in September at Disney and found him very engaging and interesting.  His new book, Crush It, was just about to hit the shelves.  Gary is nicknamed the “social media sommelier” for building his empire on wine tasting and his wine library by using social media skills and platforms. 

    And then in October I was speaking at BlogWorld Expo where I happened upon Guy Kawasaki.  I had been following Guy for a while (as in following on Twitter and alltop.com) and couldn’t believe that I was actually sitting a table with him having breakfast.  He is an amazing wealth of knowledge and so down to earth. He’s also authored numerous books with the most recent “Reality Check“.  So I had to buy that, too.

    Then there are the Carl Hiaasen books my friend Mike has loaned me. I’ve read two of those and love Carl’s writing!  I’ve got about 4 more to read.

    And then I read on someone’s blog – can’t remember who – about how wonderful the book is about Steve Job’s presentation style. Had to get that, too.

    Bottom line is – I’ve got so many books to read and so little time to read them all. I must be banned from buying any more books until I catch up with these. The great thing is, I am so excited about what I can learn from all of them!

    I’ve got a 5-hour flight to LA coming up soon, maybe I can use that time to get going.
