CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
"Deeds & Daily Travel has been in business since 1969, but we have just established our first individual web site. It was a delightful experience working with Diane, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Diane listened to what WE wanted on our site, responded to it, and produced exactly what we wanted to portray. We couldn’t be happier with our first foray into the world of the web. And to top it off, she made it a fun experience for all of us. She is a real pro and a delight to work with."
— Nancy Daily, Principal, Deeds & Daily World Travel
"Diane was great for our growing firm. She is a strategic thinker, a quick study and really cared about my business. She understood our needs, took on our goals and moved us forward right away.

INSPIRATIONS
The Promise
"You can change your life by changing your relationship to the 'stuff' that possesses you." — Kaja Perina, "Psychology Today", January/February 2007 issue, page 33 A Defining Human Trait "Is the capacity to be more skilled, more resilient, more nurturing, and more tolerant
than we are at any given moment." — Joann Ellison Rodgers, "Psychology Today", November/December 2006 issue, page 75 The Great Paradigm Shift
“As each person completes herself or himself and contributes what is authentic,
a new paradigm emerges: circularity. At rest, it is a circle, and in motion, a spiral.
When we look more closely at each part, it is a microcosm of the whole.
If we consciously take this as our organizing principle, we come up with very
nonbinary, unlinear, nonhierarchical results. For instance:
If we think of ourselves as circles, our goal is completion – not defeating others.
Progress lies in the direction we haven’t been.
If we think of families and nurturing groups as circles, the sum means
maximizing the parts – not restricting others or keeping secrets.
Progress is appreciation.
If we think of work structures as circles, excellence and cooperation
are the goal – not competition.
Progress becomes mutual support and connectedness.
If we think of nature as a circle, then we are part of its reciprocity.
Progress means interdependence...
By making the circle the organizing image in our minds,
a prison of lines and limits will gradually disappear.”
— From “Revolution from Within” written by Gloria Steinem for men, women, children,
and even nations whose power has been restricted by self-limiting attitudes.
The Meaning of Success
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better,
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is the meaning of success."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Continuum
"Dependence is the paradigm of 'YOU' — you take care of me; you come through for me;
you didn't come through; I blame you for the results.
Independence is the paradigm of 'I' — I can do it; I am responsible; I am self-reliant; I can choose.
[The Ideal] Interdependence is the paradigm of 'WE' — we can do it; we can cooperate;
we can combine our talents and abilities and create something greater together."
— Stephen R. Covey, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", page 49.
