I started this blog in 2012. Someone told me about WordPress and suggested I give it a try. I instantly loved it. Over sharing to a bunch of strangers and friends? Count me in! I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to have a logo.

I have to thank my new friend Alicia (pronounced AL-eeecia not AL-eeeSHAA). She is working on an exciting new project and asked me to be involved. But in order to be involved I have to do something that makes me uncomfortable, no, more than uncomfortable- it terrifies me. Self promotion! Eeek. Not my thing. I want you to love me on your own, I cringe at the idea of asking for it. But all growth is cringy. Not easy. So I’m going for it.

The other scary thing I have to do is record a video (!!!!). I think I’ll have to sedate myself in order to do it.

The logo was hard enough. Thank goodness for my support team. 3 people who I can always count on for sheer, brutal honesty (except my husband who is always giving me advice that I immediately ignore). My three logo champions were: Katherine, who is not just annoyingly smart and brilliant – but has actual tangible skills to get shit done. My baby girl – who told me immediately that the image created originally by the graphic artist was whitewashed and I shouldn’t use it (whitewash is bad. Ok, learning, learning). And my pal Sarah..who is always dropping truth bombs and not letting me get away with anything. I need to ditch her eventually.

This illustration was made from a pic I took from a very glam night before Covid. I’m not sure I’ve ever looked like that again, but I’m taking creative license. Listen I gave up the whitewash didn’t I? Do I wear jewels every day? Ofcourse not. I haven’t even worn pants with buttons since March 8th. But sometimes if I’m super lucky with weather and humidity, my hair kind of, sort of looks like that. A little. Oh leave me alone!

So after all these years I have a real logo. I’m finally a real boy Geppetto! Feels good.

Hope you feel good and have a great weekend! Xoxo
