We all do some reflection from time to time right? We think back to what we were doing this time last week, last month, last season or maybe last year. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I can shrug off the results of that reflection: “meh, same ol’, same ol’,”. But there have been…
If 2014 is going to be anything like today, I have one word to describe it: SURREAL. When I was chatting with Hilary Rushford for her new book launch a few weeks ago, one of the things we briefly touched on was the fact that when you’re starting out on your entrepreneurial journey, it’s kind…
Earlier this week, I posted this to Instagram: I was hesitant to post it, but it was one of those things that came from my heart. I was sitting there, reflecting on 2013, and these were the things that echoed in my head. They kept coming back to me, loud and clear, and even though…
I’ve been extra reflective lately. At random and frequent intervals, there seems to be plenty to remind me that this year is SO much different than last year. SO much better. SO much happier. I get a daily email that offers a simple quote for the day. Today’s quote was from Queen Elizabeth II, and…
Note to readers: this blog post isn’t deep, or hugely eye-opening, but it’s part of my story, so I wanted to record it here. I’m so grateful for those who have continued to encourage us on our journey, so I wanted this to be an update for those folks. Tune in later for some Stationery…
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…
Long story short, we needed to get the house painted. It had been almost seven years since I moved into this house, and the colors were starting to feel dated, there were ugly brown water spots on the living room ceiling from a series of fiascoes, and a few little people had taken to the…
It’s been so long since I’ve blogged, I may have forgotten how to blog. Things have been rolling steadily along. I’m picking up just the right amount of new consulting clients, taking on some limited branding engagements, doing some coaching, and planning Stationery Academy. The orders for the August version of the Day Designer continue…
It’s quiet, ya’ll. Three kids are sleeping, and we know that’ll only last for about 15 minutes, so I better get an update out quickly.
