Life In General
Bad & good and we’re moving!
Well, the past couple months sure have been eventful. Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up. Bad stuff happened I referred out all my clients and I started a new job in October. It was with a marketing startup, and I thought it would be my dream job. Well it quickly unraveled. Things didn’t go as planned. I had to leave what was a completely untenable situation – financially and mentally/sanity-wise. It was a huge bummer, I really wanted it to work. It just was a bad fit. I was really, really disappointed and down. Then our house got broken into and both our laptops were stolen. It was a bummer because yes, laptops cost money and also because...

Read MoreI’m back and I have the best news ever.
I’ve had a much needed break from blogging and being so visible online, and it’s done me good. My life has changed so much since I’ve been away from you guys! And all for the better. Now, I am back and with the best news ever. I am leaving my job with the corporate world and starting my own business. That’s right! I get to be my own boss full time. Many of you know I’ve done freelance web design and graphic design on the side for years, but it’s come to the point where the corporate world just wasn’t cutting it. I have done the 9-5 office thing for a decade now, and when it comes down to it, guess what? I don’t like it. I...
Read MoreGoodbye, for now
Is it really possible that I haven’t posted here since July? Well, hello there, if anyone is still tuned to this channel. I got an email the other day from my domain registrar letting me know that My Aim Is True.com is up for renewal at the end of the month. I thought a lot about it and I have decided not to renew the domain name. I’ve had it for over ten years! But I do think it’s time to let go of this blog, at least for now. Blogging has been fun and interesting and weird, and the internet has seen me fumble through many stages of my late adolescent and early adult life. But taking this break has been great. I have let go of a lot of...
Read MoreTaking a break
I had a wonderful 4th of July weekend with my family. My dad and brother both took their boats out and we spent time on the water – we like to park the boats just a little offshore from an awesome spot at First Landing State Park. You can swim and walk up to the shoreline where there’s a great little shaded, tree-lined spot. My mom’s brother came to visit from Georgia with his new girlfriend and her two adorable kids. We all had a fine time relaxing, swimming, grilling out and enjoying mom’s absolute paradise of a backyard. She has just done such an amazing job fixing it up. Ever since reading Amanda’s recommendation of Eagle’s Nest...
Read MoreOh my gosh, I won!
Let me just start this post off by saying I never win giveaways. And I am totally going to allow myself to believe that this is good karma for all the giveaways I’ve been hosting on this here blog lately. I won an iPhone!!! Squarespace (an online content management platform that I’ve heard lots of good things about) is hosting a contest on Twitter where they give away one iPhone every day for 30 days. To enter, you simply have to send a tweet with the #squarespace hashtag included. They choose a winner at random once a day, who wins a $199 gift certificate to the Apple store! The truly mind-blowing thing is, I didn’t even know about the contest. I saw a...
