The Power of SLOW Newsletter
A weekly-ish newsletter that discusses slow marketing, slow sales, slow creativity and slow living. Ideal for micro-businesses, leaders of mission-led teams and consultants. The Power of SLOW isn't just about business but it's very much about business AND it's also about human capacity and human scale, marketing in a way that heals and doesn't harm and being creative and authentic in a fast standardization world. It's about defining what's ours and what's the machine's. It's about ensuring that no matter what, we the humans are flourishing.

Please consider hitting "display photos" for a cozier reading experience. And, this email may run long so feel free to open and read it on my main email page. I got a totally inspired idea last week when I had some down time and was able to slow down and think about what is important to me and the work I do. The idea landed instantly and I was able to turn it around in about 2 days ... a 30-Day one-minute resilience challenge for the month of May that I'm hosting on my Facebook business page....

the $1 Million Dollar Question
Please consider hitting "display photos" for a cozier reading experience. Dear Reader — I remember the very first days of the Internet. My fellow journalists and I were all gathered around one computer in our newsroom that had the ability to connect to the Internet. I’m sure we had to do that dial up thing. Our editor, Jeffrey, was sitting in the chair. The rest of us peering over his shoulder as he went from site to site to site. We stood there in awe. The possibility at that moment wasn’t...
{introducing} the power of SLOW
I cried after saying goodbye to a client the other day. Our five months together concluded with one powerful message: She finally saw evidence of her own magic and power to forge her own authentic path toward financial freedom.

And, for me, it's always about the Power of YOU. For the past several...

😳 Oops. This was surprising + My BEST content for 2024!
Happy Day to YOU, Reader! I had this great idea that I would share my top blog content with you today ... and I am ... BUT. But I hardly wrote any. Oops. Don't get me wrong, I wrote a TON this year. I wrote 20K words of my next book. I wrote countless emails and newsletters. Tons of social media posts. I wrote a lot over on Substack. But, blog posts ... 4. I published 4. I'm giving myself some grace, though, because I also launched twin daughters into young adulthood and into their freshman...
