Meet Tiffany

With nearly 20 years in the world of public relations and more than 294 pairs of worn out stilettos (and counting), Tiffany is shaking things up all over Mid-Michigan.

As the Chief Conversation Starter at Motion Marketing & Media, and Publisher of Capital Area Women’s LifeStyle Magazine, Tiffany Dowling means serious business. Tiffany sits on the board of the Lansing Community College Foundation (LCC) and is deeply involved with Junior League of Lansing and other local charities.

Whether in stilettos or a pair of peep-toe pumps, you can count on this business owner, philanthropist, mother of two and a dedicated wife to get straight to the point.

Tiffany’s favorite shoe brand: Stuart Weitzman

Tiffany’s dream shoe: I dream about a lot of shoes. I can't pick just one. It wouldn't be fair...

Tiffany’s motto: It's just as much fun to find the perfect shoes first, and then search for an outfit that works with them.

I’ll just put it right out there: 2010 marks my fortieth year on this planet, and I decided it was time for a daring resolution. I’m a risk-taker by nature and there’s a lot I’ve yet to do. So, why not make 2010 the year I get around to doing them?

Just before the New Year, I sat down with some trusting team members and compiled a list of 24 things I’ve never done. (Correction: 24 things I’ve never done and would be willing to try.) After compiling the list, each of my teammates voted on the 12 things they want to see me try in 2010 (one each month).

So, here it is, my new year’s resolution. The official list of “new things” I’m going to attempt in 2010 (in order, from January to December):

1. Take a polar plunge

2. Knit a scarf (first try second try)

3. Shoot a gun

4. Learn ballroom dancing

5. Change a tire

6. Hot air balloon ride

7. Learn to ride a motorcycle

8. Drive a tractor

9. Canoe the Grand River

10. Try Indian food

11. Take voice lessons; sing karaoke in front of people

12. Donate 30 pairs of new shoes to charity in one month

Spectators will be encouraged and welcomed at each of these events. Stay tuned for times and details. Of course, there will be photo evidence, or it didn’t happen.
