Here's to staying connected. Hope you enjoy this new monthly newsletter from Laurie Jennings LIVE. If we've made it this far into the most unexpected year of our lives, then we have a LOT to be grateful for. I have no idea what the holidays are going to look like, but what I do know is that I'm especially grateful for the flexibility I have in this "next chapter" away from the breaking news desk and working for myself. It allowed me to take a last-minute trip to New Hampshire to finally see my 88-year-old father. The Fall leaves were spectacular and the slow walks in the woods - priceless. My father always says "life comes in phases". I know we're all anxious for this unsettling phase to come to an end. Until that glorious day, I wish you time with a loved one you haven't seen in way too long and a renewed sense of gratitude for life's small pleasures. NOVEMBER 2020

November Tip No mugshots, please! Someone asked me if they looked boring up against a set of blinds. I said "YES"! ( ). Find a corner of the room or step away from the wall at a slight angle. Photographers call it "depth of field", and it makes all the difference for your next virtual shot or holiday photo ( ). Take a selfie first and make sure your image has some dimension. Just turning your screen a few inches one way or the other, and ideally putting your back to a corner will instantly give your shot depth. Add some flowers or stacked books behind you - and you'll have a much more interesting shot that shows you care about your presentation! ( ).
