Betsy DecillisA few years ago, I spoke to the Columbus (Ohio) chapter of PRSA about all things integrated marketing communications and spin, you know, sucking.

At that event, I met—in real life—one Betsy Decillis, who was amazing and fun and she offered to take me to Jeni’s for some ice cream after the event.

Had I not already had plans, I would have totally taken her up on it (and, now that I think about it, she still owes me).

It totally doesn’t even matter that there is a Jeni’s literally blocks from my house and I go there once a week.

It’s not the same without Betsy!

She also gave me one of my most favorite photos ever.

It’s so great, I am going to share it with you.

It is a squirrel village set up by someone who lives in her hometown.

And, even though I hate squirrels with every fiber in my body, I really love this squirrel village.

It was my Facebook cover for a very long time. I love it.

You are going to learn a lot about Betsy and her, um, hobbies (there is a difference between knitting and crocheting!) so I will leave you with this…

…she is unapologetically Betsy and full of a hilarious style.

The Spin Sucks Inquisition

Betsy and I had a fun chat and explored the normal questions…and you get to see an amazing gift she gave me.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

You will be very, very jealous.
