I created a website.Whenever I look at what I do on a daily basis, I laugh. I created a website. I still remember when computers were added to one classroom in high school. Remember those white boxes from Apple? Yeah, fashion aside, the eighties was a great decade to be a teenager. My dream was to be a photo journalist. I didn’t really know what that was, but it sounded great and I loved taking pictures and journaling. College introduced me to accounting and I quickly learned that a life behind a desk dealing with numbers was NOT what I wanted to do. What the professors failed to express was how much fun numbers can be for an organization junkie. So, today, decades later, I feel like a super hero. I count beans during the day and I dive into tech at night.When people learn that my “hobby” is blogging, they complement on using my left and right brain. What they don’t realize is that numbers can be found in everything, including blogging. Developing, designing, search engine optimization, social media, branding – it’s all a numbers game and my experience in accounting and love of writing are the perfect ingredients to becoming a successful blogger.After I published my first book, people began asking me when I planned to quit my day job. Me? Leave my numbers? Never! I love accounting. Organizing the month end financials, reviewing the variances, and delivering the data to non-financial people is a blast. I get to wear the hat made fashionable by Sherlock Holmes (the Robert Downey Jr role, of course) while checking items off my To Do list.I then go home at night, slip into an Avenger’s (or Star Wars or dog themed) t-shirt and jeans, the only gear that can withstand paw prints x five (yeah, we have five big dogs) and start plugging away at my blog, Keep the Tail Wagging. Writing, editing, video editing, optimization, and more. There’s always something new to learn, to test, and I celebrate each milestone and I teach myself something that I never thought I’d learn.I love learning new things, pushing my mental boundaries (technology), while making sure everyone stays inside the box GAAP created (accounting). As I stated, accounting and blogging are a perfect match.My specialties include quickly learning new skills, problem solving, full ledger accounting, fixed assets, NAV (Navision) accounting software, Microsoft Office, Pages, Sheets, Keynote, iMovie, social media management, content creation and management, search engine optimization, Divi by Elegant Themes, public speaking, and interviewing professionals.
