<p>So what was it you ask?....Simply put.... 'to become a bad@ss' (censored for for young readers  ;)...) ....yep.   What was I thinking?   I guess it was just time to do all of the things I wanted to.</p>
<p>So....one simple resolution has led to a lot of changes over here.</p>
<p>Physically ~ I started running again.  How long has it been?...not since college...that was oh, well...13 years ago.  With running came a commitment to a 10K, then a half marathon.  Yes, I did that, no really...March 25, there I was with 14,000+ others.&nbsp; Did I win? No.  Did I finish fast? Not so fast.   Did I finish? YES!  And that is all that matters!  ;)</p>
<p>Professionally ~ that brings us here... I relaunched McKinley Margo with an entire new product line~ Monogrammed Wallpaper for your iPhone or iPad...who'd have thought that a brainstorm on a snowy day could bring so many changes to my little company?!</p>
<p>So, what's next?..... Wall About You  .... that's what!... Wall About You is an iPhone, iPod and iPad Application that allows you personalize your device with Monogrammed Wallpapers- Created by You!</p>
<p><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://mckinleymargo.com/storage/WAYhome150.png?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1303677830368" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>Hopefully in a few weeks, everyone... well... everyone who wants to  create super cute custom wallpapers for their iPhone, iPod or iPad....  will be able to purchase the little App that could and get designing!</p>
<p>In the meantime, over the next few days / weeks, I'll be sharing some of the project details with you, as well as some of my inspiration.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>See ya' soon!</p>
