I recently participated in a five day mini course for small business owners, and writing this manifesto was one of our tasks.  I love working with clients that I really connect with, so I have decided to share this personal tidbit here.

When I wake up in the morning, the very first thought in my mind is my family, including our furry children.  And after that, coffee.

I savor my first cup of coffee, talking with my daughter over home made baked goods for breakfast, if we remembered to bake that week.  If not, I admit we sometimes indulge in Nutella.

Strolling on the beach, even on a drizzly overcast day, is always a good idea.  One day I will own a small cottage on a quiet rugged coast somewhere, so I can do this more often.

In my world, Evernote is an absolute necessity, and I get ridiculously excited to meet someone who shares my enthusiasm in gushing over every way we can use this app to organize our lives.

My clients are awesome, intelligent, women who want to live a creative life.  Beyond designing and developing their websites, what I care about most is helping them to sort through all this tech geek stuff, so that they can run incredible businesses and live the lifestyle they want.

Makeup and fashion are over-rated.  Yoga and green smoothies are much more rewarding.

Striving for always being yourself, living in the moment, and laughing each day, is a must.
