Today I had a wonderful morning with Jena Nesbitt planning The Creative Roundtables first meetup! (http://bit.ly/CreativeRoundtableFeb2015) It’s this Thursday and we are so excited.
Since starting CR (Creative Roundtable) at the beginning of this year, we have seen an overwhelming response from the community to do not only a nightly meetup, but also one that is open to the public (our traditional meetings are closed, as we want everyone to get undivided attention). So, we listened and have delivered!
Our plan for the meetup is to offer that same idea of undivided attention by doing focused breakout groups with seasoned professionals. Our hope is that everyone will walk away with something they can apply to their business or idea, right away. We hope you can come, if you are in the Portland area! Also, please feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested!
If someone told me 2-3 years ago that I would be doing something like this, I would have never believed it. I can’t believe where my life is and I owe it all to the support and encouragement I get from everyone around me…. <3
I am really nervous and very excited for Thursday! Eeee! : )
I hope you all are having an amazing day! Xoxo from Portland!

The other day my friend Julie asked me why I always carry my snacks and meals around in glass containers versus tupperware. I explained to her that I am trying to go zero waste in my kitchen, which involves me eliminating the use of plastic. She was very curious about what the “going zero waste” concept means. She and I continued to have a pretty in depth conversation about it, and I gave her some simple tips and tricks she could implement immediately, in an effort to eliminate waste in her kitchen.

I love this image. To me – it is the perfect combination of vulnerability and beauty. Which really speaks to how I felt while writing this today…
I had a hard week this week and I am going to talk about it.. because I think it is important to not just talk about the great times in life – mainly because, IT IS OKAY TO HAVE A BAD WEEK. I repeat, IT IS OKAY TO HAVE A BAD WEEK!
Without going into too much detail, there are several changes and new things happening in my life that I am adjusting to – and this week I think it all just caught up to me and it got a little hard. I have a video coming out in February all about this, but I have accepted a full time job and am not doing freelance as much. I really felt like I needed to grow and work on a team and understand that world for a while – so I am with a really incredible company now. I also realized this past year that I want to try doing new things with my creativity; like making videos and making tangible products and I want to spend my spare time working on that. But, going through that change hasn’t been the easiest. I’ve been building my business for a long time and it wasn’t the easiest decision to make. I know I have made the right decision for me, but, like anything that is new – it can be a little bit scary diving into, and I think this week it just all caught up with me.
