    At 11am in Santa Rosa this morning it was overcast and my mood was just as gloomy. Noon, the sun is out and I am finally ready to start the day. :)

    Never been a big farm girl... Hiking, camping, bears & raccoons, I can deal with. Sheep, goats and cows... Not so much. Llamas are a different story.

    It has been a while since I have really sat down and made an effort into writing a blog post. A long while...

     

    Instead, I spend hours playing with Photoshop (see pictures below) on my iPhone or writing for my clients. I used to spend the same hours writing my life down in my journals, hours and hours each night...Every thought and feeling that would run through my brain throughout the day would be hand written in my daily journals.

    Now I take pictures, manipulate them and then save them to my hard drive on my computer. I always have had a great memory, and can look at a picture or remember a date and tell you, who, what, when, where and why... But it is much harder to remember the giddiness that comes with a great night or the inside jokes that make me laugh until I cry. I love my 2,000 pictures of clouds, but I truly miss writing down the joke of the day, or why a certain smell instantly makes me smile.

    This is my pledge to start doing this more often.... And not just on here.

    Just saw this at the Spice Sensuality Boutique in Rohnert Park. No, I didn't buy... But I did get edible undies for a friend's bachelorette party.

    A few friends of mine, Adam Reiter and John Pita, play at Cellars of Sonoma every other Friday night, usually singing amazing versions of light rock cover songs while we all drink pinot noir.  Occasionally they have special guests.

    A few weeks ago, it was Marshall Coffy on the guitar (video too large to email) and last night, Leilani Carrara kicked ass singing "Don't Stop Believing" with help from Adam, John & a guy we named "Older Marshall"

    You guys may have seen me check into a place called Demorasoft on Foursquare or Twitter and maybe even heard about it through Mark Kithcart or Natalia Jaramillo. Well, I have signed on to work with them part time in the crazy marketing department (sigh, this is why I love marketing... We are all a bit mad).

    My first official duty is to help plan a seminar / tweetup in September that we are calling Wisdom of We, or #WOW10 for short!  I will tell you all the details soon (like who some of the FAMOUS speakers will be) and the usual, when, where, what, how and why.  But for now I am really excited to show you the logo that Laurel from Enatai Designs created.  We are loving it.

    If you want to hear more about the seminar before anyone else or find out more about Sponsorship/Collaboration opportunities, please email me at Shana@ShanaRay.com and I can give you more details! :)

    I am SOOOOO happy to announce that Vibranz is the first, and at this point, the only Kombucha that has been approved by the distributors for meeting the FDA standards and is back on shelves of grocery stores. 

    Trucks are picking up the Kombucha and starting to distribute to stores all over the West Coast, Texas and several stores in New York.  They even hand delivered Kombucha to some stores in Northern California so that you guys can get it.

    Please check out our website for more information about which stores that you can find Vibranz!

    Thanks for all your patience during this ordeal!

    Cheers!

    Hello! My name is Shana Ray, a Digital (Social Media) Marketing Director, working with wineries, restaurants & tech.

    My main website can be found at http://shanaray.com but I use this one as my social media/wine/food/music/llama blog and my way to get out my frustrations with the stuffiness that sometimes comes with wine.

    ...and I have red hair and can usually be heard before I am seen.

    I am a partner at Two Five Media and a Digital Media + PR Manager for Collaborize Classroom http://CollaborizeClassroom.com/blog

    .... yup, llamas.
