growth.

July 18, 2012


I've been trying to find quiet moments here and there to reflect and recharge lately... and I'm finding myself most inspired when I'm in this room of the house. It's all about the natural light.

Things have been busy in this girl's world. A good busy. My business is quickly growing and I'm realizing more and more that I need to expand and make changes. It's exciting and terrifying all at the same time. It's such a learning a process, and I've grown so much in the last five months. I can't wait to see what the next five months will bring!

I've also seen a shift in my blogging approach... while this will always be an inspiration/pretty photo/music blog, I've been leaning towards being more personal, sharing from my heart, and being more open. It's not easy for me, but the personal things I've blogged about have been much more rewarding and have just felt right. Quality over quantity. Like my business, my attitude, and my life... my blog is changing, too. I'm excited to see where it goes!

What have you been learning this week? What's inspiring you? 

*Speaking of expanding my business, are you a developer looking for some extra projects? Let's team up! I'm in need of some coding geniuses (especially with Wordpress)... email me if you're interested. xo.

  2. Hey lady! I can really relate to the shift in blogging approach. I've been dealing with it for some time now. A part of me wants to share share share and the other part still wants to keep it a little less personal. I've tried my best to share a little bit here and there. I'm not sure I can be an all-lifestyle blog. Too personal! Haha, but I think you've been doing a great job. I really admire all the changes you've made on your blog - and the design really looks solid and gorgeous. <3

  3. I literally just stumbled across your blog -- I am hooked :) Might I ask what you use for photo editing? I love the filters/actions/whatever gives your images that "dreamy" look. Lovely!

  4. I love all the beautiful clean white colors in your home. And that lamp is die for. It just looks so peaceful and calm.

    I've been lacking major inspiration for awhile. Just waiting for it to hit, I guess.

    have a nice day. xo.

  5. i've never been the one who shares a lot of her personal life. i admire people who are able to put it all out there, but i just can't get over that hurdle. not sure if i really want to. deep down i just don't feel comfortable doing it. i do share little pieces of info about me or what's going on in my personal life here and there, but that's about it. i will never have an issue with answering any personal questions if somebody asks me, but i will never be the one to blurt those things out without somebody else showing interest in knowing those answers. i'm curious to see the changes that you and your blog are going through. i've been enjoying it this far and have no doubt that it will stay that way :)

  8. I'm being inspired by some of your music mixes! Thanks for those (I needed some fresh air in my music listening habits).

    I can totally relate to the shift towards a more personal blog - scary change but rewarding in some sense. Loved the courage you had to share on the mentioned post (and I loved what you had to say).

  15. so glad things are going better for you as of late. it's so hard to be completely personal in the blog world sometimes, but once it's out there you realize so many people can relate, and that is a beautiful thing.

  20. Your blog is beautiful, loving scrolling through your posts.
    Details of the home type posts are some of my favorite sorts, it's like peeking into a stranger's window. (except not creepy, lol!)
