Despite my usual steadfast dedication to an early start to a productive first day of the year, I started 2017 by sleeping until noon. And no, I did not tie one on the night before. I don't have any grandiose plans for doing things differently in 2017, but maybe this is...

It's year end post time - be witty, be deep, list all the highlights and do it all genuinely. Sigh. That's too much for me. I started blogging in 2002. It was a fresh approach to marketing yourself and I committed, well, truthfully I kind of kicked-ass. It was how we shared photos in the...

2012 is coming, But first, let's kiss 2011 goodbye. 2011 took all that I had to offer, and put it to good use. You tested my strength, pushed my creativity, challenged my assumptions and reminded me about the importance of intuition. It feels hard to see this year go, it meant so much to...

It's been awhile since I checked in and shared what is happening in our world. October was a fabulous month. Typically, it is a busy one for our family, we have two birthdays, thanksgiving, Halloween and it can be one of the busiest work months of the year for me. This year, we also threw in a trip...
Thrilled. Couldn’t be happier. I felt so comfortable and confident in Karen throughout the entire process. I knew I made the right decision choosing her from the start. I just felt a connection with her work online and then it carried through all our phone calls and meeting in person. Your wedding day is a big day to spend with a stranger and both Karen and her assistant did nothing but add positivity to ours.
