This past weekend I attended a conference for creative entrepreneurs in The Woodlands, Texas. Initially I was excited to have a conference nearby & in a price range I could manage. Then I got excited about the speaker line up. Then I got excited about the people. Y’all, the information was great. (I ended up […]
This blog has been a place for me to share life & work with y’all, & I think that the two have intersected sooooo much in the past few months. As always, I’m going to be real honest with y’all… it is so so so hard to be re-building my photography business in Houston, building […]
Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day today. Yes, today’s supposed to be about love. But I hope today you focus on more than just romantic love. Celebrate love of family. Love of friends. Love of nature. Love of God. Go past the Hallmark phrases or conversation hearts, and actually share phrases from YOUR HEART. Not everyone […]
For a lot of us, stillness isn’t an option. We are constantly running from one thing to the next, and hardly have time to just be still. I think that’s true, but I also think it’s a lie too. I think stillness is uncomfortable for us. Scary even. It’s not easy to just be still […]

To branch out. To do that thing we can’t seem to kick out […]
I bet you’ve already failed. Yes, you. You’ve already forgotten about that New Year’s Resolution. You’ve gone a few days without thinking of your Word of the Year. And I bet you’ve already kicked yourself for it. Because you know what? I have too. But here’s a little secret just for you, friend…. It’s […]
Over the Christmas break I was in the place where I feel the most settled, the most content. The place where I feel like I breathe just a little bit deeper & smile a little bit bigger. We still had a day or two left in the trip but I found myself starting to already […]
I received a suggestion a little while ago to read The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss, and I was intrigued and decided to give it a try. I haven’t gotten too far into the book just yet, but I think one of the main points is really interesting, and warrants taking a little bit of […]
