Hello and welcome to my blog. My family moved to Port Angeles in 2017 for my husband to take a job with a local surveying and engineering company after selling his company in Lynden, WA. While Scott was surveying, I became involved in the local wine scene. I am the winery assistant for Camaraderie Cellars and the Event Coordinator (when we can have events that is) for the Olympic Peninsula Winery Association. When the company Scott worked for closed in February, we purchased the land surveying portion of the business and returned to owning our own company and I added another client. In addition to Scott and me, our family includes a 19-year-old daughter and a silly little dog called Sadie.
Here are some fun facts about me:
- My name Amy means beloved in old French. We don’t know the meaning of the name Harksell. There is thought in my husband’s family that it was misspelled when they hit Ellis Island , though we are fairly certain it is Germanic in origin.
- I am a Sagittarius. We are known to be independent and strong-willed personalities with a penchant for being in control.
- My favorite colors: Purple motivates me, blue describes me, and green inspires me.
- My favorite animal is a dog. Their unconditional love, bravery and loyalty are all qualities that I aspire to and respect. I also have a strong affinity for horses and up until the last ten years or so, I had my own horse and rode frequently.
This blog was started as part of a Social Media Marketing class and I plan to utilize this class to develop my online presence for my consulting company. I have existing clients (including my husband) whose social media presence will be expanded as I learn. I currently provide limited social media assistance to three organizations whose leaders/owners know less than I do. Once I complete this class, I will seek additional clients that are looking for social media marketing. I believe it is part of my role as citizen, digital or otherwise, to support others who need my help. While I will seek paying clients in order to pay my bills, I will also support charitable organizations that need assistance in broadcasting their message and raising funds to help others.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
