From a young age, Katie Ganshert knew she loved to write. After spending time in Kenya doing HIV/AIDS outreach, she was haunted by some of the devastation that she saw. She used writing as an outlet for her experience. Even though she managed to write a full length novel, she realized it was harder than she thought to get published. In 2008, while spending Valentine’s Day in NYC with her husband, she knew that

Fast-forward several years/decades. How did you land (or create) your current position? I spent four years practicing law at a big corporate firm in Manhattan. It was a great learning experience, but not the format I wanted long term for work/life balance or personal So earlier this week, I went to check out the new Teysha store on S. 1st. If you aren’t familiar with the brand, you really should be. While traveling the world, co-founders, Sophie and Travis, saw the damaging impacts of poverty and deforestation. They believed that social entrepreneurship, conscious capitalism, and micro-finance were the most effective tools to empower people. Thus, Teysha was born to help give artisans around the world more opportunity. The artists make beautiful, hand-crafted belts, shoes and hats. Sophie and Travis explain, “By joining our mission, you are helping to create a world in
I really admire Maura because she was able to turn a challenging I have been really bad about posting this week. Part of the reason is I have just been so busy with work. The other part of the reason is I am starting to feeling a little confused as to the direction of the blog. I feel like this blog has two separate identities. On one hand, I have posts about all the things I do (What I Wore, What I Ate). Then, on the other hand, I have posts about other people (Career Confidential, 3 Things I Wish I Knew in my 20s). I love all of it, so maybe 
When I was younger I bought an American Girl book about throwing slumber parties. It was one of my favorite things to flip through and got me super excited for my birthday to come around. If you remember super fun birthday times when you were younger, they usually involved renting out bowling alleys, skating rinks, movie theaters, pizza places, etc. Well, we didn’t have much money growing up, so I was always doing the at-home cheaper DIY options and having that American Girl book made it way more fun. I recently received another book about party planning that is perfect
Patti Pao had a major “aha” moment when visiting a salmon hatchery in Norway. They do say that you can find inspiration everywhere! While on a sight seeing tour, Patti noticed that the workers’ hands, which were submerged in water all day, looked smooth and ageless. She soon discovered that this was the result of a remarkable enzyme that occurs in nature to help salmon eggs hatch. Patti, a beauty industry veteran, knew immediately Getting up to write is difficult these days. Recently, I don’t have a lot of motivation to get myself to a computer and focus on writing words – and, you know, not getting lost on Buzzfeed, Facebook, and other stupid noise. I have found my ticket out of the funk though. Another fellow Marine wife here also needs to get her writing butt in gear, so we’ve decided to conquer our procrastination together and meet once a week to write and make sure we’re getting work done.
