Massage and Bodywork March 2007

Hot off the press!

One thing I knew back in October- the California wildfires were a hot topic. I securing two assignments and thought nothing of a super-tight deadline with Massage and Bodywork. Hindsight is 20/20. I had no idea how difficult and time-consuming it would be to identify and secure meaningful interviews right at the heighth of the spreading blazes. I hadn't taken into consideration most folks involved in the wildfires were under an extremely stressful situation and of course, they were focused on their families, homes and livelihood. It seems obvious but something I mistakeningly overlooked. What's more, the president of one of the non-profits I was interviewing was in the process of moving to France! Talk about a challenge!

Dermascope October 2007

It's interesting how one thing leads to another. The previous article in Skin, Inc. on "Protecting Your Business Assets" lead me to the next logical article on the importance of Emergency Preparedness for Small Businesses. The timing of this article was interesting. It was released in October just 2 weeks prior to the California wildfires breaking out (which was a whole other article to itself.)
