    I was talking to my branding agent this morning, and she is trying to market herself services as both very fast, and very customizable. How would start out looking for someone like her? How could she stand out?

    Business Growth VS Time Freedom. How to choose?

    MINDSET RANT 
    At the very least, hire a VA to handle the admin stuff - there's no reason for you to do it unless it both pays more (it doesn't) and you enjoy it (you don't). Take the mini-vacations, align your values with what you do on the daily, and start delegating.

    Proud parenting moment - my own, not my kids. My youngest just turned 18, and will be graduating High School in June. I did it - 31 years of parenting - that's a hell of a career! I failed a lot, and I questioned my decision to stay home with them almost daily for 17 years. I also started a...

    INTRO 
    Yes, Tiller Oregon! Pros: nice people who want to live out their lives there, essentially living in Paradise, within 4 hours of Portland. Plus, I live like an hour and a half away! Why not? Cons: - prime wildfire country, with only one road in or out - no young people except babies who will...

    Hey everyone! I just got off the phone with my dad. He's 94, and has lost most of his vision due to macular degeneration. He never calls me, I always call him. The reason is that, believe it or not, there's not a single landline phone on the market with voice-activated dialing capability...

    I also encourage volunteering. It provides meaning and inclusion that money can never buy, though the money can certainly help. I volunteer with Search and Rescue, which is like... volunteering on steroids. Last night, we had 2 callouts, back to back. We ended up looking for a group at midnight...
