What do words and cocktails
have in common? “The perfect one is always out there,” says Carol.
She’s constantly searching for just the right one of each for the
occasion at hand. Her advice, “Don’t rush your choices or be tempted by
the easy route.” She’s been helping companies choose their online words
for nearly 2 decades. And now, she’s helping her two little ones “use
their words.”
