They say old dogs can’t learn new tricks. I beg to differ. The older I get, which OMG I THOUGHT I WAS ONLY 35 BUT REALIZED I’M ALMOST 37, I realize I have a huge desire to learn new things. Which brought me to … Today’s (totally and completely optional) prompt: What new tricks would […]

Right now, home for us is in a suburb of Atlanta. It has great schools, wonderful people, and even calls the city center a village. What isn’t to love about it? But home has changed over the years. It’s truly become more of a “where we live” type thing. We’ve lived in Alpharetta, Macon, Fort […]

Comfort zones. We all have them. In fact, we wrote a few weeks ago about what makes us feel comfy-cozy. Today we’re going to talk about stepping out of your comfort zone and doing something you never thought you would or could. Or just write whatever. You know we’re easy around here! This morning, I’ll […]

Niches are like assholes. Everybody has one. Or at least they’re supposed to. That’s always one of the first topics of conversation at blogging conferences or get-togethers. “What’s your niche?” At the NonCon, where we did little to no actual Conferencing (ps: did I tell you already that you would HATE it? because you would.), […]

I really want to keep this conference a secret so it stays this small and intimate forever and ever. I also want them to have it multiple times a year. But enough about that for now… Since I’m busy sleeping thinking about writing and all the amazing things I want to do, we’re going to […]

Tuesday afternoon. All day Wednesday. Work. No phone. No internet. No email. It’s as if we were living in 1994, or worse, the dark ages. Thank God for cell phones, even though there’s crap service in the office. Selling plants without being able to connect easily with customers and vendors is hard. It’s enough to […]

Fall is always such a funny time in Georgia. It’s hot and humid one day, windy and cool the next. Rainy and cold and damp next. It’s a time when azaleas are still blooming and df all festivals are in full force. Its also a time to bring out sweaters and long sleeve shirts And […]

We’re going back to basics today. I want you to just write. No topic. Just dump all the contents in your brain out. I don’t know about y’all, but I need that. I probably need it for longer than 5 minutes, but it’ll have to do! Your five minutes starts now. I’m supposed to dump […]

I have a confession to make. I enjoy running. There, I said it. Are you happy? Yeah, yeah, you told me so.  On June 11, I woke up and something made me sign up for Couch to 5k. I hadn’t been thinking about it or anything. Hell, I’d just a few days earlier said out […]

I’ve been having on and off insecurity issues since I started working. I’ve needed to remind myself that I AM ME. I am who I am. And that’s good enough. Sometimes we ALL need to remind ourselves of the good (or not so good) qualities we possess. Remember, you are MORE THAN WELCOME to just […]
