Obsession with the letter ‘B’

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

It feels like a surreal version of Sesame Street around here, as the letter of the century is ‘B’.

‘B’ for Brophy, my maiden name.

‘B’ for Beck, my married name.

‘B’ for Plan B, the name of two of my companies.

‘B’ Originals, the logo of my custom aprons.

‘B’ Musings the name of my monthly column and blog.

…and the list goes on. My entire life has been centered around one initial for so long that I cannot cut the symbolic umbilical cord and utilize another letter of the alphabet. Call me crazy but when it comes to marketing and business, there is only one letter that sums me up.

Today’s blog sponsored in part by the letter ‘B’ and viewers like you!

‘B’ Fuddled ‘B’ Ginnings

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

I subscribe to a lot of magazines. Not 5 or 6, mind you…but more like a 3-4 dozen. Everything from Martha Stewart Living to Redbook to Vera Wang Weddings to Pink comes to my small, cramped PO Box and waits patiently for me to find time to flip through the pages and find something of value or interest. This is my place to comment about all those pages because, trust me, my husband could care less if brown is the new green or princess gowns are all the rage. So read on dear friend and comment at will as I’m sure this blog will ‘B’ come ‘B’ fuddled!
