Featuring Domini Heddermen from Renaissance Housewife
As I begin this new post, a blank page sits enchantingly before me. How I’m enjoying my new writing life. Since I was a young child, I’ve always wanted to live this life, and now here I am: filling in the empty pages that have sat empty for so long. I can truly say that I’ve started to live my dream. One of them, anyway. But the start of this feels like the start of so much and I feel I’m at the edge of truly More

If you had to list five books that impacted your life the most, what would you say?
I have read so many wonderful books over my lifetime, so this is definitely not an easy task. I’ll share the five that came to mind right away, but I have a feeling there will be many others that I will want to add just as soon as I remember them.
I fell completely in love with Morrie and the life lessons that he so graciously imparted on all of us when I first read this book.
I read More

Are you an efficiency expert? Do you pride yourself on micro-scheduling your day so that every single second is accounted for and not “wasted”?
I am. Or at least I think I am. I realized this just now. And, boy, it was a wake-up call that I didn’t like waking up to.
I was thinking about a road trip that Dan and I are excited to take. It’s a day trip, and we’ll have a couple of hours each way in the car together. I was just sitting here thinking that we could rehearse More

I have been embarking on a new path over the past few months – and each day brings a new set of discoveries and territories to explore. I am forging along without a tangible map – allowing signs from the universe to guide my way. This is a brand new way of living for me, and I must say that it doesn’t always come naturally. So I keep pushing forward and hope More

It’s not always easy to open up. To be raw. To be vulnerable. To let others see the real you – to let yourself see the real you. To tell it like it truly is. To let go of any pretenses. To step out without a mask. To show your soul.
And yet – what is the alternative? Living a life that isn’t truly yours. Going about your day in fear. Constantly worrying what others will say. Wondering if they will approve of you. If you will approve of you. Wondering if what you said was More

Do you believe in signs and synchronicity – messages from the universe?
Certain events have occurred over the past year that have made me a believer.
I believe in the universe, faith, divinity, and love. I believe that there is a power guiding each of us. I believe that we each see evidence of this power every single day – some we pay attention to, and others we are completely unaware of. The signs that I see and feel on a daily basis are the knock-you-over-your-head kind of signs. I More

Featuring Leah Griffith from Eating Life Raw.
I had the sensation of a house falling, jolting me from my dream, and then realizing that I was safely at home.
I believe that I have just gone through one of the most agonizingly beautiful times in my recent life. I can add the word beautiful now because…well, I’m safely at home and all the scary stuff seems to be under control. But, in all sincerity, the last year has been an epic journey of crossroads and discoveries, More

I love Etsy. For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, it’s a website that features handmade items. Individual crafters can open a shop there and sell their creations. But it’s so much more than that – it’s a wonderful community, too.
We began our Etsy adventure in 2007, and it’s been a big part of my life ever since. We started with our main shop, thisisit, and have since opened two other shops: qualitycraftsupplies More
