I just signed the JVA and it’s official: I’m an Authorized Squarespace Trainer! Very chuffed and grateful. The timing is perfect, too, as I am planning to transition my business from 1:1 design work to doing mostly e-courses, teaching and mentoring next year. It does feel a little risky because my business is finally at a point where it’s providing me with a solid and lucrative income but I am also feeling cautiously optimistic. Teaching and mentoring is where my heart, passion and talent are, and I’m looking forward to seeing where this path leads me. I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who’s put their trust in me and my work so far, none of this would be happening without you ❤️
I’m on my 3rd bullet journal since starting the practice almost a year ago. I’m becoming more consistent and efficient with it. No more fussy washi tape or trying to draw pretty doodles that are just not my jam. I’m all about keeping it simple and organized and this plain but effective two page spread always starts out my week perfectly.
I always thought I was an old-time blogger, having started in 2005, but @shaunareid has been blogging since 2000 as I found out today! Our paths crossed on and off over the years and I was very delighted to finally meet her in person in Seattle. She is so lovely and we could have chatted for hours and hours. Thanks for a lovely afternoon ❤️
Driving to Seattle this morning. Love autumn 🍂
New post on the blog! This is why I love interacting with the participants in my courses, there is always a nice challenge to get my teeth into 😬 If you’ve ever wondered how to get around Squarespace forcing you to use a Full Name or No Name in the Newsletter Form - this easy solution is for you! Link, as always, in profile ✨
When I was 21 I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I was studying Japanese and English at Cologne University but in reality I never went to the classes and spent my time working as a waitress in nightclubs and, ahem, partying. A school friend had moved to Canada with her family and I had a vague idea that I'd love to go there, too. So when another friend saw an ad in our local paper for an au-pair in Vancouver, B.C., I applied and exchanged letters with the family and got the job. It was 1984 when I got on the plane to Vancouver and little did I know at the time that this also marked the beginning of my gipsy life where I would move almost every year for the following 3+ decades. After eventually returning to Europe I kept visiting Vancouver, almost annually, and one of the things I would always do is hop on a ferry and go to one of the islands. There is something about gliding through these deep blue waters surrounded by dark green islands and snow covered mountains that has always felt utterly magical to me. And a part of me still keeps pinching myself that these days I call this part of the world home, and that the magic of all these islands and inside passages are on our doorstep now ❤️
