A big ask – and lots to give.

As some of you know, I’ve been staying at my mom’s since August. It’s helped me stabilize my finances some and keep up to date on all those lovely little pieces of debt I’ve been paying off while I was searching for a job. And if you’ve known me long, you know that staying there…

What happened. (Now leave me alone.)

Lately, I’ve been a little, um, emotional. Tapped out. Closer to fight or flight than I want to be. I kicked a foot-shaped dent into the side of some asshole’s Mini Cooper who tried to get me to get into his car. (I’m pro sex work/ers, but I’m real anti old white guys thinking everyone…

Fuck love and light.

Trigger warning: Woo woo bitches with no backbone taken to church below. I am very, very angry. I’ve been working online for the past 7+ years, and let me tell you, I never planned on being a marketer. Once upon a time, I just wrote. I shared the things I was learning in the hopes…

It took me 7 years to find sustainable success. How long will it take you?

I’ve been having a lot of great conversations with my colleagues about what it takes to be successful in business, especially around how long it takes. The common theme I’ve heard from people I respect and have watched grow alongside me is that it takes many of us 7 years. SEVEN YEARS?! I hear you…

But what’s the next step? How to design your business’ roadmap like a pro

So I did a pretty weird thing last week. After having a slow couple of weeks, I was looking for a new retainer client on Craigslist to fill the upcoming gap. (Which I did.) But after working my way through the tech gigs, cam girl gigs, and everything else, I found myself in the Personals…

If I die tomorrow.

I have been a very lucky human.   I have loved and been loved deeply over and over again, and when I see the people around me who haven’t been lucky enough or brave enough to do the same, I wonder how they keep moving through each day carrying a chasm like that inside of…

Love Letter #78

There’s nothing I like better than falling for a stranger. I’m very good at it. It’s easy to be open with someone you will probably never meet again, and I can find something to love in almost anyone for a little while. But wandering through all of our mutual strangeness, this immediately took a turn…

Reinvention is not a four letter word.

A couple years ago, a women’s group I’m a part of gave everyone an incredible gift. We went around our digital circle and offered each other an answer to the question, “How do you see me showing up in the world? What do you think of when you think of me?” It’s a fascinating exercise…

Drive

I don’t meditate. At least, not the way most people do. Sitting still like that drives me crazy, and my monkey brain goes nuts finding things to turn up and go over and the worst possible time. I need a a basic, repetitive, physical activity to keep myself just occupied enough to go where I…
