Ain’t Google grand?! Although I have alerts on apartmentjeanie, partyjeanie and photojeanie rarely do I receive any relevant information. Usually someone named Jean has been photographed or another woman named Jeanie said she was going to party like it’s 1999, but nothing that is germane to me or the biz. Today, I decided to search my name – something I haven’t done in a few years and lo & behold there were loads of entries quoting me. I seem to be very popular with the Northern New Jersey real estate & design blogging community.
But it was a recent article from Parents.com that made me consider the consequences of my verbal charity. I had been asked to answer the question of how to create a memorial and unique memento for children. I willingly obliged with a few stellar ideas to a random woman who didn’t identify the publication or that she would be quoting me. She didn’t even present herself as a writer, but gathering information on behalf of someone else who may or may not have been a journalist. At this stage of my career, I certainly don’t mind sharing ideas & suggestions, but I do appreciate the acknowledgment of the aforementioned.
I guess the lesson learned is that I should become completely self-googling obsessed so I don’t miss an opportunity to remind you all how talented & creative* I am.
xxoo,
jeanie
* that’s is a direct quote from my mother, so you know it is accurate and unbiased.
