I just checked in for my daily review of blog readers, and I had a lovely surprise. I left a comment on Cathy Zielske's blog yesterday, and I think she paid my blog a visit! There was a referring address listed as her blog address. Yea!
In case you aren't of the scrapbooking type, Cathy Zielske is one of my favorite scrappers. She has a simple, very real style (and beautiful photos) that really speaks to me. Check out her books, Clean and Simple Scrapbooking and Clean and Simple Scrapbooking: The Sequel. They're two of my all-time favorite books...and I have a LOT of scrapbook-related books!

On a different note, I've been blogging about all things personal recently, and I need to get back to posting some "professional" posts. There's this little issue with CBS' "Sunday Morning" commentator and legal analyst Andrew Cohen happening recently in the PR world. Seems Mr. Cohen has no clue what PR really is, and he's giving our profession a bad rap. I'm going to make time to comment on that one. It's a fire-starter. Even has the president of PRSA responding...twice...because it's such a blatant and ignorant attack on our profession. It's got me fired up — now I just need to find the time to give a blog post about it justice. Stay tuned.
I guess I never thought of what you do as public relations. In all honesty, my opinion of PR people was probably close to what Mr. Cohen was saying. Now that I've taken a step back and really looked at what work you've done for me and knowing what kind of person you are, I have changed my mindset about the public relations profession.
I really just wanted to post an apology to you for assuming things about your chosen profession without really knowing anything about it and for not relating what you do to that profession. Public relations is what you do and you are great at it.

Wow, Corie, that article was awful! I tried to post a comment on the website below the article but it wasn't working for some reason.
Anyway, what an idiot. Who is that guy?!
