THINK ABOUT IT: pick up the phone

24. February 2010

First, I’d like to give a huge hug to all of you who responded so positively to the re-posts yesterday! I was shocked at the response. Sometimes when talking to people about MML, they ask about something I’ve written about in the past. And for some reason it never clicked, just because I’ve written about [...]

the dark side of starting Jess LC

15. January 2010

Okay, maybe the title of this post is a bit dramatic. But the truth is, the interview I did for The Good Life For Less’s new Dreamers Into Do-ers series really does highlight the not-so-pretty parts of starting Jess LC full-time after graduation in 2007.

small business answers

7. October 2009

This might sound strange to mention, but I’m not quite sure how much to talk at the beginning of posts about my day to day life. Some bloggers share quite a bit and readers love it, others bloggers keep pretty private and share only topical information. I’m not quite sure where I (should) land on [...]
