THE JOURNAL

Wow, is it really February already?  This year is already flying by and with a new year comes new adventures.  This is the 3rd year in a row that I’ve taken myself through a pretty in depth planning and goal setting process with the help of the amazing Lara Casey and Making Things Happen.  And […]

One word comes to mind … whew.  A few months in the making, but I’m very excited to launch a brand spankin’ new website & client experience this morning!  I’ve been working closely with my brand designer, Katherine from Aviary Creative since late fall and once again she’s blown me away with pretty elements and […]
