No, this isn’t a political post about how freaking happy I am that President Obama will be our leader for another 4 years. Though, I am really ecstatic that he won:) This is a post about three strong examples of how my town is moving forward and I hope this is a reflection of [...]
Life really is like a book with a bunch of different chapters. Early on, our parents are the authors, making decisions for us by slowly helping us learn how to make good choices that lead to solid content within those chapters. As we get older, we are given more room to do the writing, with [...]
To be truly thankful is to be stopped in your tracks, blown over by gratitude and allowed to flood over you.

Redpepper, a Nashville based advertising agency (http://redpepperland.com/) gave me the idea for this and I thought I’d put my own spin on it. It came to me in their “weekly redpepperland update” email last week and I loved it. 100% of the profits from One for Y’all Storm Relief T-Shirts will go straight toward Alabama and Redpepper [...]
I didn’t really know what to expect driving to Nashville this Friday for a 72 hour “workshop” for entrepreneurs.
