Alright guys, goal setting time is upon us!
Resist the urge to go all hipster/ironic, or emo/anti everything, when it comes to goals. Yes, I know that only capitalistic robots who have been brainwashed by corporate America would even dream of doing something so cliche as setting goals that begin on January 1st (heaven forbid). [...]

She had a plan because she had “Manifest Monday’s” with her best friend every week. This day would consist of them getting together and writing their own personal lists of things they wanted to see happen in their lives. Big or small, they’d write the [...]
Recently I was asked to give advice to other entrepreneurs by my friend who writes Modern Reject so I wanted to share my answer with all of you here as well…
1. Discover the difference between needs and wants.
Constantly re-evaluate what you really need in life versus [...]

Which is why it’s going to be extra hard to explain what I’m talking about. It’s you. It’s all of you guys. You are incredible. The feedback you gave me after my last post brought me to tears multiple times. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your heart felt responses [...]

Continue Reading →This post is dedicated to two of my friends (you know who you are).
“You can do it my dear.” That is what I told myself when my husband and I both went full time into our new photography business which has continued to support us for [...]

I do know that it’s her vulnerability that makes me love her. If you’ve never seen or heard her MTV [...]
Continue Reading →Blah. I was laying sprawled out on our couch feeling blah and puzzling my husband. I had no idea what was wrong, all I knew was I felt frustrated and negative for seemingly no reason…which only causes MORE frustration and negativity!
I realized I hadn’t been outside all day so that might help. I walked [...]

It’s not fame, it’s not money or power.
Success is….
Waking up in the morning, so excited about what you have to do that you literally fly out of the door.
It’s getting to work with people you love.
Success is connecting with the world and [...]
That’s right, A Million Miles In a Thousand Years: How I Learned Live a Better Story by Donald Miller, changed my life and I don’t think your life is immune to it’s powers either.
It’s a book about his life… about a book about [...]

My response included the following:
1. Don’t get arrested.
2. Don’t destroy someone’s property or cause a lot of work for anyone.
3. Say something good.
I know number two could be difficult to adhere to, but I think [...]

She was one of those super unique people who’s talents are extraordinarily strong and who’s weaknesses rival the strength of the talents. You look at her and say , “whoa, that girl could go places that most of us could never dream of and she’d [...]
Continue Reading →If you haven’t noticed, I say “we” a lot.
This is somewhat out of habit because my husband and I do spend 24 hours a day, 7 days a week together. But some of it is because it’s pretty much impossible to talk about my life journey as a solo enterprise. It’s done as a [...]

The guy you rolled your eyes at in your early 20′s while spewing explosive promises about how you would NEVER let yourself become like that. You were convinced you were different, that you saw the truth and that would keep you from ever allowing a house, a job, [...]
