Cleaning For Clarity
I buy a new domain every couple of months. I get an idea and no matter how terrible it is, I see if the dot com is available and snatch it up. I do this so often in fact, that my friends like to add “.org, .com,” or their favorite, “.gov,” to the ends of my sentences sometimes as a little joke. In keeping with tradition a few years ago an idea struck and I purchased the...

Five Things I'm Into This Week
Accidental Creative - Excellent resource for people who make things. “We teach creatives how to thrive in an organizational setting and organizations how to better lead their creative teams and structure for long-term effectiveness.” Lily Allen’s, Alright, Still - Is it the UK accent, the Betty Boop image, or the irreverently, snarky lyrics?

He has some lovely things to look at.

A few nights ago as I was tossing and turning over a piece I’m working on for the opening session of the Arts Conference at Willow - Toward Wonder, I was suddenly reminded of a book that I hadn’t picked up in awhile, The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. It is an incredible little resource for anyone who makes anything.
So what made me think of the book? Well, the piece that...
GET $50 OFF ECHO CONFERENCE JULY 29 - 31
On July 29th, I’ll be making my very first trip to Dallas for the ECHO conference. While I’ve flown through DFW, I’ve never spent any real amount of time in the Lonestar state. Not only am I looking forward to the southern accents, I’m also looking forward to the conference.
According to their website,
“ECHO is a a conference for church leaders that love using...

COURTNEY BRADFORD (the only female who entered) and her blueprint special!
After over 330 votes via twitter and the comment section, Courtney inched ahead in the last few minutes, surpassing Jared Hardwick’s stellar #4 by only a handful of votes.

WHICH BIZ CARD SHOULD I PRINT? YOU DECIDE!
First off, thank you so much for all the great submissions! I had no idea what to expect when I put the call out last week. In fact, I wasn’t sure if anyone would take me up on it. I am deeply grateful for all the work that you have put into this little contest and have been humbled by people’s (some complete strangers) willingness to contribute. It is things like this that cause me to...
