Yes, two years of insightful, earth-shaking posts!
Ha! Not quite, but I have met some great friends through this blog and learned a thing or two about my business and myself.
I wish I had a screenshot of the blog as I designed it a couple year’s ago. I do have my header (I must love me some red and deep aqua):
and a screenshot of my website’s front page from then, and my, how things have changed:
I always feel that this blog, like me, is a work in progress. I try, and sometimes fail, but keep going to shape this space into an extension of me and the life choices I make. When you stop by, read and make a comment, I appreciate it beyond what can be written here. Here’s to many more years – thank you!

OM :: The Numbers
Did you feel all that energy at the beginning of the year? All the possibilities, the plans, perhaps some resolutions? I love that feeling because it really is one of life’s natural highs. The yin to that yang is usually the dissection of my business numbers from the previous year. They annually send me into… Continue Reading
The Meetup :: October 2010
Hello Meetup-ers! Hope your September has treated you well. With the slow start of school and adjusting to a new schedule, this past month has been challenging time-wise.

OM :: The Office Hours
It seems when you run a business from your home, your time at work needs to be approved by whomever you live with, at least if you’re part of a family. I don’t know if this expectation arises when you’re male. I would imagine any time working at home, especially when there are children involved,… Continue Reading
The Meetup :: September 2010
I’ve decided that August is a weird month. Even though it harbors my birthday, August has that desperate feel to it. Stuck between “Hurry up, let’s get this month over with” and “May summer never end,” I feel like I’ve been rushing around, pushing this month away, while embracing it at the same time. The… Continue Reading
Preview of a New Schedule
I’m going to experiment with posting on this blog Monday through Friday, every week in September and thought I would give you a little preview of my plans. I’m going to begin a photo a week project called 52 Pick-Up, inspired by my friend, Angie of Jumping Jack Designs. Angie has been participating in a… Continue Reading
The Meetup :: August 2010
I’ve been staring at this post for awhile and not writing anything. Just back from vacation this weekend, I had a full day of completing orders, assisting my parents and wrangling my boys.

Analytics for Everyone
How often do you analyze your numbers? I look at my numbers with no regularity because I don’t know how to analyze them. I can stare at them pretty well, but I don’t think winning a staring contest with my analytics is going to help my business. When I took the SATs and later the… Continue Reading
