You might be forgiven for believing that I had lost interest in Water Words That Work. After all, this is my first post since November. But in fact, the opposite is true.

The response to the blog was so amazing that I went back to the drawing board and rethought what this project is all about. The outcome is that Water Words the blog is now also Water Words That Work the company. I’ll continue to dispense free, useful advice to all who want it (and a few who might not be expecting it), but I am now also accepting clients who want more hands on assistance to “make a splash with their communications.” 

Check out the redesigned blog (got a professional to do it this time around) for signs of things to come.

I’ll start by giving a big shout out to the first batch of clients who opened my eyes to Water Words as a business opportunity:

• Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay
• Association of State Wetland Managers
• Biodiversity Project
• Chesapeake Bay Funders Network
• Foundation for Pennsylvania Watersheds
• National Park Service
• New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
• Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts
• Water Resources Education Network

Let me also tip my hat to the partners at Beaconfire Consulting, who have graciously agreed to let me continue as a part-time member of the staff of their fine company. Thanks for helping me avoid a painful either/or choice!
