Can I please just start off by saying that I’m terribly nervous to be here? I’m kind of equating Jess letting me guest blog for today to that idiot “pants on the ground” guy on American Idol. Not talented, but should probably be shown to America in order to be mocked continuously. Hopefully I will [...]

Hi everyone! I’m starting with a bang – I got the logo designs!! It was like Christmas morning when I opened that email to see the first round of logos. All the ideas and possibilities! Oh.My.God…all the ideas and possibilities! I truly had no idea how difficult this would end up being. And I wish [...]

Hello again MML readers. It’s Heidi from To Be Luminous again. One of the questions I get most often is why I call my coaching practice “To Be Luminous.” Recently I’ve written a Luminous Acclamation- a manifesto so to speak that defines what a luminous woman is and what my practice represents. Enjoy! And don’t [...]

My PR ladies sent me an email last night saying that they found photos of Ali Fedotowsky, of this season’s The Bachelorette walking with her fiancé, Roberto while wearing a Jess LC Franklin Be Present Necklace! I was shocked, thrilled, and so happy to know that she [...]

I’m on pins and needles, you guys!! I’m anxiously awaiting to see what ideas my logo designer has come up with for my logo – this is the first time I’ll see what she has created. (I should have them by the time you read this!) I’m excited and nervous – it’s an interesting feeling [...]

After having a great lunch and a long talk with Stacy, an MML reader, I’ve decided to make a few changes here on MML for the rest of August. The transitions in my relationship, apartment, and business happening in two weeks have taken a much larger toll on my energy level than I anticipated. This [...]

Though I haven’t mentioned it before, I’ve decided to go on vacation during the entire month of August. In fact, I’ve been on vacation for the past two weeks and it will continue through the weeks to come as well. But I haven’t missed one day of work and I’m not going on any major [...]

Today I’m back to share steps two and three of the makeunder I’m doing for my new apartment. I shared step one, create a vision, last week. Here’s how I’m using the makeunder process for the next two phases: Due to the nature of this transition and makeunder (moving out of a two bedroom apartment [...]

Hi Guys, Whew! I took a mini-weekend trip to Rochester, Michigan this weekend to see my hometown. I hadn’t been back in town since my parents moved to a Philadelphia suburb two and a half years ago. It was a bit surreal to walk the streets with my childhood best friend, Carol Beth, and revisit [...]

Lately I’ve been spending a lot of time here on MML talking about business, purpose, and taking actions because that’s what I’ve been focusing on myself this summer. However, there is another important aspect of MML that hasn’t gotten as much attention: simplifying and tailoring our spaces to reflect our visions. But, since I’m going [...]

Hi guys! I just want to pop in and say that Susie and I are still busy chipping away at the orders from last weekend – the response was so much bigger than expected and we are filling orders as quickly as possible. In the meantime, my longtime friend, Krista, sent me some photos of [...]

Hi Guys, Good afternoon! I am a bit late in posting today because we had a secret sale this weekend for people on the Jess LC email list (sign up is on the top right of our homepage). There was such a huge response to the deal that I’ve been quite busy prepping, printing, and [...]

Drum roll please…I did it, I found my logo designer & web designer!! It’s signed, sealed and in the process of being delivered! Not only am I jumping up and down with excitement, but yikes I’m also terrified and realization has now struck. I was just saying to my hubby that this feels like a [...]

Thanks for the awesome comments and email stories shared in response to this morning’s post, What to do when you don’t know your purpose (yet)! This week has given me some incredible insights into ways I can create some kind of class for MML in January and February. I’ll be sure to ask for more [...]

As promised on Monday, I’m going to share something that I realized while talking to Stephanie, an MML reader, who recently left the job she knew wasn’t her calling in order fulfill her purpose. The only problem is, she doesn’t know what that purpose or next step might be… Yet. As we talked over coffee, [...]

Thanks for the resounding response, comments, emails, and tweets about yesterday’s post. I normally don’t get too fired up when writing here – but I’ve felt the urge this week to really nail what I’m learning home here on MML and with Piper, our lovely and talented MML Dream Reporter. My perspective on business is [...]

Pardon me, but I’m a little fired up today. While standing in line at the CVS to pick up some contact solution yesterday afternoon, I glanced at the cover of one of the weekly magazines and saw a feature on how “Ali from the Bachelor lost 10 pounds as revenge”… or something like that. Regardless [...]

(paper from a craft project I worked on this weekend) Hi Guys, Can you believe it’s already Monday? I don’t know about you, but I certainly felt like I could have used an extra weekend day. I spent a lot of time on the past two hot, sunny days outside walking around- to the farmers [...]
