Letter of “Congratulations” to Del. Tiffany Alston
Welcome to another installment of Hands and Feet highlighting folks on the ground and in the trenches, fighting for their families and communities. Prudence Juris and I have only been friends for a short while, but in that time I have learned many valuable lessons, the most important being about patience. She recently penned this [...]
Unceasing Gratitude!
After what has seemed like months and months (and months) of transition, I have finally landed on solid ground and feel so settled, joyful and full of life that I can barely contain myself. It’s been a long road, filled with moments of doubt and fears that I would be swallowed up by an all-engulfing [...]
Boundaries? What Boundaries?
I was at the Association of Fundraising Professionals Annual Meeting this past week in Baltimore. While I have learned a few things in workshops on major gifts, strategic planning, and special events, I once again realize that what happens outside of the rooms and in between workshops is really what makes these conference worth attending.

Hiatus…and Hiatus Over!
Cha-Cha-Cha….Changes!! As you have all noticed, TDP has been on a bit of a hiatus. I needed some time to adjust to some life changes. Life often doesn’t happen like planned, especially when other people get involved. (More about this to come behind the cut. If you want the new password, email me offline!) I [...]

I have participated in several consortium and working groups over the last decade. Some have been great and others not so much! This one is truly [...]
NYC here I come….
I have been looking forward to this trip for weeks. I am excited to say the least. It’s not like I have never been to New York City, but this trip just feels different. The last time I was in the City was in October 2008 for Craigslist Boot Camp. The time before, for a [...]
The Way of the Blogger
I am sure by now many of you have heard through the grapevine about PittGirl, a Pittsburgh blogger who has been writing anonymously for some time now. Her writing is witty and edgy, and has quickly become one of my top five daily reads. However, she recently outed herself and shut her site down. I [...]
