Boys In Blue Love the Mystic Women of Salem!

Our boys love the MWS!
Two Officers of the Salem Police Department



Our poster on display in breakroom at Salem PD!





















Thanks to friend of the project Dawn, our poster was mounted last week in the break room of the Salem Police Department!  I met the Chief and a few of our officers that rainy afternoon in Salem, Ma.  The guys were really nice and wanted to know all about the project.  They wanted to know about the future women to be featured, and when the book is going to be released.  Also, we found, right off the bat that it is indeed a small world...Stephanie, our MWS Firefighter, is known by the Salem PD, on a professional and personal level (her brother is one of the officer's best friend).  A very small world indeed.

Many thanks to the Chief for allowing our poster to be displayed!  To the guys, well, MWS loves ya'll too!  Thank you for your interest and support of our beloved MWS project!

Marblehead Dentist - Impressed!



This is a shot of MWS friend...Dawn's, boss, Jim Fox D.D.S of Fox Dental.  He has a dental office in Marblehead and was so impressed with our poster that he elected to removed the pad, frame the piece, then put the pad back on (for his clients).  Now that's a compliment!

Thanks Jim for your support and enthusiasm !

MWS Welcomes Our Cyber Sorceress to The Team!!

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I hope all the MWS featured women are remaining calm, continuing to breathe, getting at least some rest at night, and are enjoying the fruits of their year long labors during the madness of October 2011 in Salem!

Many, many things/events have occurred over the last few weeks and one in particular that I am very, very proud and relieved about, is our newest addition to the MWS Team - Samantha Shostak (Sam)!


Sam is a grand addition to the team and one that is a perfect fit.  Her skills in  graphic art design are to be admired, her dedication and level of professionalism are extraordinarily high - an absolute must with this project.  The Project Manager said after reading just 2 of her emails, "jeez, I love her already!"

Sam was my tutor in electronic design class in 2010.  I soon learned that she possesses the gift of being a natural born teacher...patience, skill, and a little psych thrown in there as well.  I just adored her, and as she says,"we quickly became friends."

William and I are honored and feel so very fortunate to have Sam on the MWS Team!  I cannot wait for all of you to see some of her work!  She is not only highly skilled, she is also VERY creative and brilliant to boot.

Please join us in welcoming our Cyber Sorceress - Sam!!!  Check out her bio on The Team page!

A Kennedy Interested in MWS Project!!!!

Good Morning everyone!

I have so many cool things to tell all of you.  The last couple of weeks has been incredible...one very cool thing after another regarding the promotion of MWS project.  So...I will be reporting and uploading photos for you every few days in order to keep you all up to date with the latest information/events/ etc.  But, this one...well, I just couldn't stand it, I HAD to tell you immediately!

This afternoon I was making the rounds in Salem, replenishing pr materials to the various store locations, before heading to the University (mid-term prep ya know).  I went in to Artemisia Botanicals and spoke to Darlene.  She was so excited to tell me that Caroline Kennedy and her kids were in the store yesterday browsing around.  Caroline picked up one of the pr cards and engaged in a conversation with Darlene about MWS project.  Darlene reported the Caroline was very intrigued and interested in the project, and wanted to hear more.  So...guess who is sending her some pr materials and going on her website to promote MWS?  Yep!  Will do!!!

I just cannot believe that a Kennedy knows and is interested in MWS!!!  This is only one incident, the list goes on and on about the cool things happening...so check back often people...things are really in high gear right now!

Enjoy this fabulous fall weather and I will blog again in a few days!

The Official Witch Store




Hello Everyone!

Friday October 7, 2011 was the official launching of the MWS PR Campaign Blitz!

Mystic Woman, and dear friend, Penny Cabot, was kind enough to agree to be the first and official launch location of the MWS PR Campaign of 2011.   These shots were taken inside of her beautiful store on Pickering Wharf Friday afternoon.  I showed Penny the huge poster that the University printed for me and she further extended her kindness by allowing me to install it in her window facing the wharf/water!

Later that evening I was driving around Salem, and something led me to the wharf.  When I drove by there was a crowd outside the store, and all of them were gathered around the poster!  How cool is that?

I cannot think of a better place to launch our campaign!

Many, many thanks to our friend Penny!

A "Fare Thee Well" to Brian Miller

Brian Miller, Cyber Wizard of the MWS project is moving on to bigger and better things.  His schedule is just too demanding, therefore he cannot spend the time necessary on the MWS cyber designs and pr materials.  Brian's unique style, dedication, vision, and designs laid the groundwork for the  MWS project.  His knowledge of all things "cyber" allowed the blog (which the Project Manager was insisting upon) to be viewed and enjoyed by many.  Not only was the inital blog (remember, the yellow one) used for enjoyment,  it became an essential tool used by The Team to keep the public and the MWS women continually informed and up-to-date on events, progress, and news that was happening regarding all things MWS.

The PR materials are beautiful and esquisite in composition.  Brian took very basic ideas/suggestions and turned those ideas into breath taking art pieces.  The posters and pr cards are certainly nothing short of artwork in it's highest degree.  You just do not see posters/cards of this caliber very often. 

The women of the MWS project, the Project Manager, and myself would like to take this time to give our cyber wizard, Brian Miller, our most sincere thanks and gratitude for all his efforts.  Every single selected MWS woman (and many, many others) that have seen the pr materials are in complete awe of their beauty and excellence.

Thank you so much Brian, for laying the ground work for this enormous international project.  Because of your expertise and skill the world has taken notice of the project and most importantly, the Mystic Women of Salem!

We wish you much success in the future and we fare thee well.  I will miss the laughs and our hen house meetings! You are such a joy to me personally, and I will always hold you dear in my heart.
