There’s something about all this newness that has me all sorts of introspective, terribly observant, and really quite emotional. It’s odd. The stark comparisons to what was and now what is have been a bit shocking and often send me spiraling into a sea of feelings of loss, sadness, fear…almost as if I wish all […]

I don’t get out and wander as much as I should and really as much as I’d like to. There’s something so freeing and inspiring to wander about, stopping to inspect, admire, notice, and photograph along the way, taking in all that is the world around me. My friend Ashley invited me to join her […]

My friend Syndee Stein is awesome personified. She’s creative, driven and has the most magnetic personality you can imagine. She exudes positive energy, confidence and sheer moxy, and I lover her so. This month she’s doing an awesome series about love on her blog (which I actually designed for her…more on that to come in […]

Oh hey there 2012! You’re looking mighty fine if I might say so myself. All bright and shiny and new. And all sorts of sexy with that yet-to-be-realized potential of yours. You saucy minx you….Oh sorry, I got distracted….ha. Hello friends. It’s a New Year, and I’m LOVING it already! You know me, I’m smitten […]

many of you know i spent the last few months working and travelling around california. it was an awesome time to connect with friends and clients alike and to begin building relationships with people beyond my santa barbara network. and it afforded me the freedom to take on some projects i would not have otherwise […]

it’s a new year. we are six days in, and as i begin to process what i would have this year look like, i can’t help but feel an overwhelming desire to run the other way, toward the safety of 2009. i know what it holds and what to expect. i like that about 2009. […]

recently i have found myself thinking about relationships and how they relate to my business. my friend david jay often invites me to invest lots of my time and energy in people. he believes it is on of the most valuable uses of time and has the greatest return on investment. i agree. and i […]
