Happy December, adventurers! Is anyone else surprised by the fact that 2014 is almost over? I'm torn between feeling like January 1st was forever ago and feeling like it just happened. But maybe that's just because this year has been such a busy one. It was my first year of full-time freelance work -- December 7th is my actual "no other jobs but freelancing" anniversary, and that's right around the corner! Which of course, gets me thinking... ...

Happy Thanksgiving!
Or, Happy Almost Thanksgiving, more accurately. I'm taking a break this week to spend some time with my family. But if you've got a little free time, check out some of these tidbits: Are clients getting to your website, but not booking your services? Your "Hire Me" page may need a little revamping.

Things I’m Loving (And So Is the Biz!)

The Hustle – October Wrap-Up
Happy November, adventurers! It's hard to believe how close we are to the end of the year. I spent this weekend planning holiday travel, making gift lists, and wondering exactly when it got so cold outside. (And inside. Turns out the heat in our apartment needs a little tune-up... whoops...) For me, closing in on the end of the year is always a bit of a shock. I like to consider myself organized, but once November rolls around, I start to wonder exactly what I've been doing with my time and why haven't I achieved all 12 of those top-priority goals I set back in January? Luckily, I got my act together a little early this year... ... Read more
