Morning Pages
The Artist's Way, a book by Julia Cameron written in the 70's, still holds so much value in our modern age. Specifically, she asks the reader to work on 3 main goals throughout the book. 1. read a chapter each week and do a few of the tasks she outlines which are...
Stop! Collaborate and Listen
I believe collaboration is essential for small town business. Even the biggest corporations know the value of collabs, so why do small businesses tend to isolate and silo themselves? Collaborations are a commitment or partnership between two businesses and their...
New Habits
I don't want to speak too soon, for fear of failure, but I'm attempting to write and post daily to my blog here - about business, small town life, and work - while also posting daily on my blog at Oh Hi Handpies about homesteading, food, and sustainability. I am a...
From Scratch
3 years ago, almost to the day, I sold my marketing business. It was a huge transition and I only now feel like I'm coming out the other side, a chapter closed, a fresh start. But with that comes new challenges. Part of transitioning away from my old business was that...

I have been itching to renew my wardrobe a bit since lately I've really just been rotating through the same few sweaters and skirts/leggings over and over again! I've been wishing to have a high quality capsule wardrobe that I could plan out and purchase...

You’ve got some goals floating in your head, but are you having trouble keeping them there? I’m the same way. I have an idea - it’s brilliant! I’m going to change the world! Then the phone rings, my baby is crying and I realize I almost forgot to pay my health...
