I know I’ve been quiet lately, but the silence on this blog stems from a pile of amazing people and projects I’ve been able to work on. I’d love to be better about documenting these adventures as they occur, but in the grind of daily minutia, the details don’t seem to matter. The tiny steps…
If there’s any one thing I’ve felt in full force this past month, it’s that choosing is HARD. I’ve had more opportunities come my way lately than I know what to do with, and while that’s amazing, and I’m so grateful, I KNOW that I can’t do everything. And choosing to do everything results in…
First of all, announcement! Day Designer® is officially a registered trademark! Trademarking something is a lengthy process, and it’s never guaranteed that you’ll actually get a trademark when you start the process, so I’m delighted that it’s done! Wahoo!

Last week at AH Inspired, roomie Rachel Shingleton and I had several great chats. Rachel and I have overlapping lives: we grew up in the same neck of the woods, we still both live in the same neck of the woods, and we both love our families, our faith, and good ol’ fashioned DESIGN. We…
“Give me three things positive about life in general lately,” he asked. It’s the same question I’ve heard almost every three weeks for a year and a half now. I twizzled my hair and staired aimlessly around the room, maybe trying to find something my eyes could land on that would suffice as an answer,…
When things are going great, it’s hard to risk. The top of the mountain feels GREAT. The wind is whipping through your hair, and there are a ton of Leonardo-Dicaprio-at-the-helm-of-the-Titanic moments. Heaven forbid we risk it all.
