yard work therapy

Some people pay others to take care of their lawn, some people pay others to listen to their thoughts and sort out their problems. Not me. I use the power of what I call yard work therapy. I find yard work to be very therapeutic. Really,, it gives me time to focus on my thoughts, allowing me to organize other tasks at hand. I spent hours this past weekend trimming and planting at the daycare my wife runs and an equal amount of time at my home. Hours of work means hours of thought. Here's a little more insight.

1. The Board of Directors for Each One for US All is now complete. In the midst of ripping out weeds in the flower bed on Pennsylvania Ave in Morrisville, PA,,, I determined my final selection.

2. The list of key contributing corporations has been determined. As I planted a new maple tree smack dab in the center of that very same flower bed, my top 5 prospective targets came into view.

3. A new idea for the formatting of my website was created. Something about the hum of that weed-whacker really gets me thinking.

I guess it all comes down to who you are. Some people find they think best with isolation and silence. Not me,,, give me a lawn mower and a patch of land needing some attention and I can solve any problem at hand.

the new identity, t-shirts anyone?

The list seems never ending when it comes to what needs to be done when forming a new business. This especially stands true when you're choosing your identity or branding as they say. I knew from the start that Each One for US All needed something powerful, a statement of it's own. Something recognizable when seen,,,, who am I kidding, I just wanted something that would look cool on a T-Shirt. So here it is,,, I'm thinking this will work on any color shirt in one color or two as you see it but I'm open to suggestions and I'm willing to produce one for anyone who wants one. Just send me your size and mailing address in the comment section below and I'll be sure to oblige.
A huge thank you goes out to my longtime friend and colleague Leigh Woolston Karsch who created this artwork. She was able to show me in 5 minutes with a bic pen and a cocktail napkin that she understood my vision as she always seems to do. Leigh and I met in my previous life in the print world. In fact I knew her when she was only known as Leigh Woolston and she's one of those people who knows what she knows, owns it and doesn't make you feel bad about not knowing the same thing. She will take the time to help you understand but make you feel like you understood all the while. Do yourself a favor and check out her business at http://www.lapetitefleuronline.com/ Taking wedding and special event planning to a new creative level. Thanks again Leigh,,, you're too cool.

Another special thanks goes out to my one true inspiration and the love in my world, Jacqueline. You listen, you suggest, you challenge, you care, you believe. I couldn't do this without the love you show everyday. You've put me back on track so many times,,,, thanks again for this one.
