Tweet This guest post comes from our Chapter 1 Next Step Chronicles Blogger Robert, who last time we heard from him was searching for a job, honing his writing skills and looking inside for inspiration for his next step in life. Read on to see what he’s been up to during the last few months
Hope In The Next Step
Tweet Has it really been sixteen weeks already? It doesn’t seem like that long, but it looks like my time writing for Next Step Chronicles is at an end. I hope you’ve enjoyed what I’ve had to say, and maybe, if I’m lucky, I’ve given some advice that’s helped one or two of you. As

A Message From The Past
Tweet Dear future me, Do not be alarmed. I’m writing to you through time and space to communicate with you from the past! The year is 2012, and since I have no doubt the world will not end this year, you should be receiving this near the start of 2013. So, do you/I/we have a

Putting My Brand to Work
Tweet Well, it’s about time we put the “brand” part of BrandKit to work. That’s right, this week’s article is about my personal brand. Mind you, I’ve been pretty upfront about who and what I am in my previous articles, so this information should come as no surprise to you. I have a strong sense

Empathy, Truth, and Hope
Tweet I would say that I’m a man of principles. There are some rules and morals I try to live my life by, if just to be a good person and to be the best I can for others. Well, it’s not so much a set of rules as it is an intent that I

A Roundup of Holiday Movies
Tweet Happy holidays, everyone! Christmas may be just around the corner, but Hanukkah is already at hand, so I’ve been celebrating by watching some of my favorite holiday movies. And don’t get started on that “War on Christmas” crap – I say “holiday” movies because many of them aren’t Christmas movies, not because I’m trying

I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends
Tweet I suppose I can’t speak for everyone, but people usually need someone or somewhere to turn when things get tough. Whether there’s someone we can talk to, a movie or song that cheers us up when things are looking bad, or some sort of security blanket, we all have our ways of coping. As

Inspiration Comes From Within
Tweet It’s possible to draw inspiration from all sorts of places. Maybe there’s some powerful quote that keeps you going. Maybe your favorite song pumps you up. Maybe you’re even one of those people who can gain motivation from a poster with a nice picture and a comforting phrase. For me, however, inspiration is something

Halfway There and Just Getting Started
Tweet So, it looks like this is my ninth article writing for this blog, and that means I’m halfway through my time as a writer here. Don’t fret, loyal fans (I’m assuming I have loyal fans), you still have nine more glorious weeks of reading whatever I come up with. While writing these articles, I’ve

Giving Thanks: Robert
Tweet Thanksgiving is approaching so it’s time for everyone to go on about what they’re thankful for. In times like this, it’s easy to find a lot of things we’d be happy to be without or things we’d be thankful for if we actually had them (no debt or employment come to mind). However, it’s
