I Am Here To See A Man About Some Doors

Physical Methods

While I was away in Toronto, Steve and my mom continued working at the studio. The ceiling had been painted and the walls were up, mom was working on molding, and Steve was working on getting me an electrician. I had gotten a few estimates that were a bit of a shocker (no pun intended) to say [...]

Bandanas for Dogs

300 square feet  wasn’t enough room to meet the needs of my current clients, not to mention the growing  list of 100 people waiting to get a spot in my schedule.

My First Pilates Class

When Steve and I arrived at the Mirival spa for a week of rest and relaxation, I don’t think I even bothered to unpack before I headed off to my first Pilates class. I figuredthat it was a “west coast thing” since I had never heard of it before. I come from a small town [...]
