2013 - A New Year with New Dreams (big ones!)

Oh hi there... did you forget that I have a blog? So did I!


Happy New Year and hello 2013. Some changes are certainly in order.. I've had the last week and half off from work and have another half week ahead of me. To say that I have been planning for the new year would be an understatement. I have been mapping out, praying, talking with Kell and goal making for the next year ahead.. and I'm really determined and excited!

To start things off.. let's just define this blog and call it was it is! I wanted it to be a space where I promote my illustrations and announce the progress, failures and successes of my small wannabe-business. Honestly, it is not that at all.. it's a personal space where I share about pretty things, sailing, food, my handsome husband and fun vacations with my family! And I love it.. so I need to just embrace it rather than avoid it. I also love my illustrations and want to turn it from a wannabe-business to an ACTUAL business this year.

I will be keeping this blog as a personal chronicle of my adventures and a fun creative space. I will also be creating a second blog that is strictly business!

What a simple solution to what has been bugging me for so long! Why didn't I think of it sooner? Nonetheless.. what a breath of fresh air for me :) I'm excited. Stay tuned (for real this time!).

Meanwhile... HAPPY NEW YEAR! And since we just agreed this blog will be personal and stay personal.. why not embrass myself with a song recording I just made this afternoon. I love the What Are You Doing New Year's Eve song. I especially am obsessed with Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's rendition.. watch here.

The only person that ever hears me sing is my husband Kell and  also my little brother Steven when we used to ride to highschool together and belt out Guster and Sublime. So this is a leap for me.. I am shy about my voice and guitar playing... but I'm trying to be a little bolder this year, so.. why not?

  11. Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see
    if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.

    My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.
    I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  13. Great blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
    I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
    Would you recommend starting with a free platform like
    Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options
    out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Bless you!
