“Awareness, consideration, decision. We need content for people in each of these categories. Let’s each try to have a piece of content for each category by the time we have our meeting next week,” my boss told the marketing department yesterday. “And remember people’s pain-points. We want to help and create something valuable for folks.”…
This weekend marks my 3rd week in Pinehurst, NC! At the start of the year, I moved out here from Washington state to take a social media marketing apprenticeship with a company called Classical Conversations (they are absolutely fantastic to work with and will get their own dedicated post soon!). In celebration of surviving my…
Sometimes you matter a lot more than you think. Today was my last day at church before I move to North Carolina. During our snack break, a girl who attends there with me gave me the sweetest card. She is 12 and I am 24. I always thought she seemed pretty cool, though I didn’t…

As a child I grew up hearing horror stories about all the creeps from the internet who would kidnap young ladies. I had all the warnings that many 90’s/early 2000’s kids got about how one should never meet anyone from the internet. Yet somehow, despite all of this, I now find myself in the year…
This past week I landed my first-ever freelance photography gig! Well, technically, I’ve had others. I’ve done small-time paid photo shoots for people ever since I was in high school. However, this one is special. This is my first gig for someone entirely out of my social circles. The opportunity: product photography. Specifically,…

Even when folks are physically slowed down, mentally they are running through their to-do lists and plotting their next move. I get that feeling. I find myself sucked into…
