Best Year in a Decade aka 2015

About December, 2015
After organizing my new(est) garage and cleaning the house of holiday festivities, I went to bed feeling great and exhausted about 3 AM. It came as a surprise to me when I woke, energized at 5:30 this New Year's Eve, but I suppose that's how the year has been...

If you know me, the last decade has been a bit.. rough in many ways. I can't complain (and I'm not), but there have been challenges and decisions I never would have thought would be a part of my life. Through the trials, my two girls and I have had varying degrees of success in our relationships with the world around us, each other, with finding our place in new homes more often than I felt I had the energy for and in handling the many battles that seemed to come our way. Typically, I stay more on the side of business in my blog and a bit restrained when it comes to sharing, but this year, I can't be thankful enough our more humbled and excited for the future that is building and being brought to light through my family, business partners and allies.

My marketing business continues to grow and I'm excited to tally this year's results. I've started a new company in an area I couldn't be more passionate about - cleaning the Earth of the byproducts created by industrial progress and-right when I thought it couldn't get better, I met another incredible business partner! We'll be launching a multi-media platform with broad social implications and new revolutions in app and social media design and... it's all centered around the things I love most in life. I can't wait to show you!!

I made a list of accomplishments for 2015 and I'm not going to worry about goals until the New Year is here. For now, I'll enjoy my newest home, wait for my girls to wake for a great breakfast and get back to work, preparing my house, my little family, my businesses and myself for the incredible year that will be 2016. I am truly in the best place I've been in decades and through my works, my clients' growing businesses and bold trailblazing-I'll continue to build on the quality of life that my daughters and I deserve and continue to work for.

Though it's been the best year in about a decade, I also have no misgivings about what lies ahead. I feel more prepared and calm about facing each opportunity with the experiences and support I've been given (and continue to be excited and bewildered at) but I know there will be much difficulty. When I started using the name "Web of Allies", I don't think I could have forseen the incredible impact it would have on my life. I have a feeling I'm just starting to see the effects of the concept and finding those who take it to heart. We will be successful because of the attitude with which we face our future-with daring and anticipation, careful planning and strategic partnerships. We will become what we believe in more each day and we will build on the power we have to manifest our talents and look to empower in our communities.
It's all about gratitude...

Thank you for your part in my journey. Thank you for your encouragement, feedback, friendship, business and sharing of ideas.

My cup renneth over.

A World of Life, or Why to Live is the Opposite of Evil

 Wow. This is getting tough.  Not the work of life. Not life. Those have always been tough. What's getting to be so tough that it's almost unbearable, is knowing what I can do for so many that are struggling, while having the fear of change, doom, climate, water, food... on and on until it grips people so hard, that they don't move. They can't hear that there are options. When they see them, they are so tired of being lied to or manipulated that even when they think something is good, the past won't let them open up their own future. Having solutions for people didn't start with the solution, for me. In my life, it was always about the people. When I was young, I wanted to be a lawyer, but I ended up in business. It was my mom, actually, who showed me the world of marketing. I had no idea I'd end up there, but I loved watching her mind work, he sessions with my dad that felt like they were on fire, even from the top of the stairs or through the vents, where

I love Memorial Day (and leave the BBQ's alone)

I love memorial day. I didn't used to think of it much and I BBQ all the time, so I'm not too impressed with all those cartoons running around. I love memorial day because I get to officially remember people, many of whom I think about consistently but It wasn't always this way. Remembering can be hard and (in my opinion) paying tribute to those memories are an individual choice. I was living away from my family, in Arizona and married to an individual that didn't prefer me having any connections to people outside of him. My grandmothers both passed away in this time and I was unaware. My grandmother in Florida was an adorable little woman when I got to know her as a young kid. From my mom's stories, I know it wasn't always that way. Grandma Gron had to be tough to live through my grandpa and I promise you, tough is an understatement. She raised three children and my mother is of the best I have the pleasure of knowing or to know or know of. I remember and c

Past My Limit or Internal Lies. Three tips on personal motivation.

Every time I say to myself that I have reached my limit or that I'm past my limit, I have the instant emotional response that it's just not true. Like most, throughout my life I've had a variety of experiences, some pretty harsh trials and many lessons in endurance and perseverance. Here's a few tips on how to keep going when you feel there is no possible way you can. 1. Ignore reality. Not completely, but in some ways ignore the elements that make you feel there is no way out. Relationships that are ending, finances that are drained and the faith of others in your talents that has just run out are all real and actual problems. In personal and professional realms, there are times when you just can't see moving forward nor feel you have the strength to do so. I suggest you ignore it a little and get out of your current perspective. I can recall the day I drove into Millcreek Broadcasting, a small Utah radio group, to apply for a job. At twenty two I hadn't h
