It's hard to believe that the song '1999' was popular 20 years ago as we turned the century milestone. How time does fly! Here we are in 2019 and the New Year is a good time to look back and ponder our successes, challenges, gained knowledge and new directions and bring our experience forward. As a contractor for 28 years, my goal was to protect people's investments. Damsel in Defense came into my life almost 5 years ago and I reflect on the fact that I transitioned from p

The holidays, shopping, celebrating and traveling are here as we visit family and friends. Some Damsel Tools cannot be taken on planes or other types of public transportation - unless they are in your luggage. There are also some state regulations for Pepper Sprays and Stun Guns.

Vacation time is here whether you are staying at home, planning a road trip or camping, or going up up and away! As you make your plans, discuss Situational Awareness with your family. Remember, criminals hide in plain sight. Police response is normally 7-11 minutes if you are home. If you are away, it can take longer. Consider having a non-lethal safety tool for that 'just in case' moment. It is a good idea to not post vacation plans on social media including your fa

The most dangerous situations can be the ones we don’t prepare for. As a Realtor, does your daily plan also include your safety? We have alarms on our homes, cars and businesses, but what about your physical safety? It is important to plan for that “what if" situation and have a "just in case” safety tool.
