Why “pearls and fire”?  I wear pearls — a lot!  I don’t  mean I wear a lot of pearls, I mean I wear them frequently.   And in the words of my daughters, I am very proper.  But I’ve also got spunk, spirit, some may say passion and some may say a temper.  Perhaps its the red hair.

In any event, I’m devoting this blog to my observations, realities and foibles navigating life as a professional marketer and mother.  Sometimes the going is calm, cool and collected.  Smooth and polished like a pearl.   And sometimes, things are unpredictable and seemingly uncontrollable, hot and smokey like a wildfire.
