What Inspired My Business
My work is about shedding light on the good work of others.

As a journalist I wrote about many cultural groups and individuals who were doing fantastic, "off the beaten path" work in the community. I do that same work now as a public relations specialist.
 
Most Unusual Client or Client Story
Most unusual clients: Marin Museum of the American Indian, Coro Hispano de San Francisco, and Steve Podesta-SF Productions.

Most Unusual client story: recently put my client Dietrich Stroeh (water management consultant) in touch with the Governor of Georgia's assistant press secretary to discuss water management strategies for the State of George because they are experiencing a significant drought.
 
Recent Business Surprise
I was able to establish contacts for one of my clients (a master floral designer) that may result in an upcoming short-term reality TV show.

Most Challenging Business Obstacle
 
Business Challenge
Operating great business/personal interests:

As an award winning writer and folklorist I recently established FolkHeart Press to promote "Family Folktales: Write Your Own Family Stories". This was in response to the collapse of the press that was to print the book this summer.

Managing the start-up of FolkHeart Press while maintaining Karen Pierce Gonzalez Public Relations is a challenge. Add to the mix that I also require time/space to write (ficiton and non-fiction) and have a family...

It's a challenge to stay centered in the midst of all of this.
 
Our Solution
Being sure to keep centered (quiet time, exercise, patience (ouch!) and faith in my ability to get things done) seems to be what works the best. That reduces anxiety and angst and keeps me aware of what, in the moment, is the best use of my time and attention.
