It’s a new year, with new goals. I think I’m a little late on everyone’s big posts this past week with their to-do lists, [or reduction of, which might be more pertinent around here] but I just had to wait until now.

We’ve been working madly away for the past two months to get this new website up and running — and she is here. [There will undoubtedly be some tweaks here and there, as I’m a nit-picker and am wont to do.] However, her bones are solid, and will hopefully host my work for more than a balmy 12 months, while leaning towards a very, very long time. The original website, while smart, simple, and to the point, eventually became a little too simple, and not the best vehicle to explain our work to a larger audience. Not to mention I think it’s much nicer to have everything under one roof. So! Ta da! Browse around, enjoy, and let me know if you see anything wonky.

Now—to the good stuff. The New Year. A New Start. I’ve got it simple this year, and it bears a striking resemblance to what I referred to here.

BALANCE.

It’s been rolling around in my head for a while, and now I’m ready. Ready to hire on some help [I need it]. Ready to streamline operations [double need it]. The website is done, and I believe very representative of our outlook, and work. I feel ready for a good 2012.

I would also like to return to personal time. With my husband, our dog [that face]. Potluck dinner parties and more running. I want to do whatever it takes to be able to check out of work for at least an hour a day and be present in the life around me. No matter how hard I [or we] work, it’s not worth it in the end to wake up five years from now and have no recollection of the world around us. So. Balance.

Maybe take some yoga while I’m at it. My flexibility is totally shot.

[A huge thank you to those ladies who previewed the site and gave me invaluable feedback. I owe you some delicious food, beautiful flowers, and a cocktail or three whenever we’re in the same city again.]
