    There is no easy or “best” way to lose a loved one. It hurts no matter how it happens. Some say that losing older relatives who lived a long, prosperous life are “easier” to deal with. Others may say losing the love of your life may be the worst. I think it’s safe to say…

    I met Ron and Abby at one of Liz Georges’ networking cocktail parties. (You’ll hear more about Liz in an upcoming blog.)

    I first met Jeannine Eubanks at a networking mixer, but we didn’t get to chat one on one. Eventually we met at The Electric Brew – Downtown Elkhart as she wanted to learn more about my story starting LIT Comms and how this came to be. By the end of our meeting, she excitedly booked…
