Writing is a challenge, skill, hobby I enjoy doing in my spare time. I have experience with many writing styles and applications – one is penning the blogs you read here. I’m fortunate to add another opportunity as staff writer for 78209 Magazine. It’s an excellent way to keep my prose sharp while telling the stories of neighbors and small business owners in the 78209 community.
Squeeze
One of my first assignments is the Business Profile on the new Squeeze Massage owned by Nicole Wilson. Squeeze is using app technology to transform the massage spa business model. The Squeeze app puts customers in control of their massage experience. This includes everything from massage pressure to room ambiance. Nicole’s background is very interesting as well. She’s a military veteran, earned her master’s degree while working at USAA and is a busy mother of three. Learn how she manages a startup business, caring for her children and volunteering in the community.
Oh, Those Kids
In my Meet Your Neighbors profile, two teenage daughters and a comic con event had a lot to do with bringing Angel Santiago and Vanessa Sanchez together. The couple met while arranging to drive each of their daughters, who are also good friends, to Austin for the comic con convention. Instead of following each other up I-35, the parents decided to ride together. During that road trip, Angel and Vanessa got to know each other very well. As it’s said, the rest is history. The article explores the personal and spiritual connections they share, including their favorite thing to do in 78209.
