THE JOURNAL

Hello and Happy Friday!  I’m feeling a little behind on posting from my For the Love of Learning mentoring sessions, so I’m excited to finally share with you these two lovely faces that I spent some time with last month.  This is Megan & Kenzie of MK Photography over in Leslie, Michigan.  These two are […]

It’s no secret that I’m an avid follower of Lara Casey and her Making Things Happen movement.  She has honestly transformed much of my life both personally and professionally.  She has inspired me in countless ways.  And although spiritually we may be on different levels, I love her encouraging words and they seem to hit […]

“Let excellence be your brand”.

One word comes to mind when I think of last year.  Whew.  A new baby, for one.  Then dove head first into one of the busiest wedding and senior seasons to date.  Throw in a few Blink Workshops, launching a new brand and collaborative projects with friends and it’s no wonder the year flew by […]
