Today is my 10th Anniversary. Its been 10 years since that morning my husband and I got in my car (running late because I couldn’t get my hair just right) and drove from my apartment in Springfield, MA up to Brattleboro, VT to get married. In jeans and a grey sweater and a thumb ring to make it official and keep it a secret while we planned a wedding. Along the way I also got pulled over for speeding. When I was asked what my hurry was by the police officer I excitedly said I was late for my own...

One morning a little over a week ago I started a load of laundry unfortunately the washer wouldn’t drain at all. The pump didn’t even seem to be making any noise at all and we had just cleaned the icky drain thingy, so we knew that wasn’t it.

From in 2010 my business grew to SIX TIMES what it had been in 2009 and 2009 had already DOUBLED 2008. I was in awe. I was and have been struggling to keep up ever since. I have felt constantly behind always wanting to do more, make more, be more, create more new products trying to fill everyone’s needs. The person’s needs I was ignoring most of the time were my own. In the past 3 years I have gained an...
