Hi Reader I’ve been a bit MIA the last couple of weeks as all of my kids are performing or running tech for my oldest first High School Musical: The Little Mermaid. It’s been a lot of rehearsals and so many late nights! Now we're into week 2 of the show. 6 done, 4 to go! She’s doing well and finally had a night with no microphone issues/failures and was super excited that the audience got her quippy jokes for the first time. She has two different semi-main roles for every other show all while completing her six week drivers ed course on top of regular school. Now we have dad home for the week and preparing for our next cross country move is getting real as there are only about 12 weeks to go and preparing for more guests to see the final shows! With all that, I just wanted to let you know of a few important things: Squarespace News: Heads Up Squarespace is rolling out new pricing on Feb. 28th. Some of the highlights include:

Hi Reader I’ve been slowly working on this online business dream for years in the little moments and occasionally the wee hours of the night. Next to parenting, it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done. It undoes me at times. It's made me reach down deep into my fears, things I didn’t even know I was afraid of and figure out how to take messy action and be ok with it being messy. One of the things I’ve done to help get clarity in how to move forward is to be a part of a mastermind group. So far...
Hi Reader I’ve been thinking more about aging as my 50th birthday approaches in a little over a month. When I was younger, I was a star athlete. I did gymnastics, ran track, played volleyball and basketball. In college, I took enough dance classes to get a minor (but they didn’t offer one). But motherhood, homeschooling, starting an online business, and the stress of frequent moves and of adulting have undone so much of this early foundation. I’ve been consistently inconsistent and plagued by...
Hi Reader Sometimes you need to cut back some things in order to make room for new growth. Yesterday, I started helping prune the rose bushes in my mother’s garden. I’ve been doing it every year that I live close by since I was teenager. Every time it’s a bit hard to get started. There are new leaf buds everywhere, a tangled mess of last year’s tiny stems, and thick, old dead canes that are always really hard to get to. The only way to start is to start somewhere.
