Don & AJ
Jessica Hinkle
Vice President, Emerging Strategies and Products
Laureate Online Education
We could not do this without amazing, truly innovative people.
These people are connected through six shared values. We look for these values in our colleagues, clients and partners.
Curiosity is at the heart of every GoKart employee. We merge left-brain business savvy, analytics and technical expertise with right-brain intuition, curiosity and aesthetics to incubate, execute and optimize what we do.
A stirred—not shaken—cocktail of cool calculation and wild creativity, Don is the high-beam examination of all things we create, build and release to the world, keeping us on-task, on-budget and all of our work on-point. He's also a freakishly fine musician, as well as the spark that ignited an online education revolution.
Blazing the cyber trail for over 15 years, AJ broke the seal on many online tactics, techniques and technologies that are now industry standards. His constant analyzing and asking questions is part of his DNA and, by association, has defined GoKart culture; by turning that introspective tendency to interactive strategy and architecture, he maintains his status as a pioneer (minus the Wild-West aroma).
Adam's ability to make digital things work every time is why he's a key component of our development team. When he's not creating simple solutions to complex problems, he can be found playing games, eating sushi, on a two-wheeled vehicle of some sort, or lost-on-purpose in the BWCA.
Hyper-focused on superior user experience and interface design. Completely zen in his approach. Adam greets every UX/IA challenge with a "Namaste," kinetically pushing boundaries and asking a heckuvalotta of questions that make us all go, "Hmmm." Natural habitat: out and about in our great city, or simply enjoying his back yard.
So a guy walks into my office and hands me a foot-tall vinyl figurine with antlers, pink teeth and a little smiley mouse emerging from the side of its head. An aesthetically strange and beautiful gift from Andy—a generous designer-type fellow with a penchant for all things interesting. Plus… he just NAILS it.
Annelise anchors our front desk, setting the stage for every day with her bright enthusiasm—no surprise, since she's also on-course to be director of her own theater company someday. She also juggles calendars, events, and general GoKartian health and wellness—in other words, our very own human Swiss army knife.
Ben is all about the brain. His own, of course AND those of the billions of people who do things with their phones and browsers. You could say his obsession and curiosity is what drives him and, if he had it his way, analytics would help you live a better life — not just give you more relevant marketing messages. We'll get there Ben… we'll get there.
Ben can be found at the intersection of analytics and Wrestlemania (there's a Venn Diagram for that?). But it's not all WWE and data points that make up Ben's world; he and his lovely wife have a rockin' pup and he loves to cook… things… It's been said that interesting people are interested and, well… that's Steinbach in a salty nutshell. Talk to him—you'll be glad you did.
Big and Tall and Loud and Smart and Awesome. When Brady's around, everyone's just a little better at what they do and we love that. Mr. Anderson's deep experience in education only adds to GKL Edutech expertise, and we're busy building a house-made digital invention to take advantage of all that talent. Stay tuned!
Every project makes him curiouser and curiouser, meaning Chad asks lots of questions and leaves no stone unturned. The result: our whole team gains a deep-and-wide knowledge of our business partners, leading us—and our projects—to excellence every time. True loves: friends, family, food, Danish aebleskiver, and the mighty UMD Bulldogs. Not necessarily in that order.
Our resident 'ginger', Mr. Flood rounds out the design team with a mountain of curiosity and energy. He digs things like rapid creation with minimal resources (a man after our own hearts), camera gear, games (all of the games) and pushing aesthetic boundaries by trying something new and learning…always learning.
We'll get to DauNae in a minute. First: Ike the Dog. Cutest rescue ever. Welcomed with open arms by DauNae, who swears the easy transition was due to patience and persistence. The same patience and persistence that makes her projects go so smoothly and beautifully.
Gifted with the uncanny ability of navigating between front- and back-end development, Dustin's passion for vintage Minneapolis maps is only matched by his dedication to creating the best possible user experience. Places to find Dustin, on and off the grid: square dancing at the Eagles Club, snowshoeing or canoeing (depending on the season), or biking across our lovely city.
She creates, she shoots (photos), she curates, she mentors, she motivates—oh yeah, and she's a crackerjack strategist too. Elli's keen insight fine-tunes the direction of her projects and leads them (and our GoKart teams) to amazing new levels of awesomeness. Along for the ride: kids, Dobby the dog and her All-City bike.
EJ's team of creative technologists share his love of continuous learning. He masterfully mixes alignment with execution, pairing the right people and technologies for each unique digital challenge. Also another GoKart biker (though his have motors), EJ's forecasting and planning skills have served him well on his coast-to-coast journeys across the USA.
A heady blend of three-parts strategist and one-part project manager, Jackie moonlights as a yogi and helps keep our collective vibe firmly planted in its zen space. Bubbling with infectious energy, she's also relied upon to guide on-demand deep breathing exercises to level the mood (or take the edge off a quadruple cold-press buzz).
Here's the thing about Jenna—she has all of the i's dotted and the t's crossed (even the silent ones) AND she'll kick your ass at video games and execute a perfect Cruyff turn before you can say Fútbol. Beyond that, all you get is a beautiful mix of nerdtastic curiosity and a drive to make your life easier (we're talking to you, future clients)!
A thought leader among modern marketers, Jim brings a whole pile of experience (from start-ups to big brands), wisdom and humility to the GoKart garage. We say we're lucky to have him, he says he's lucky to be here… it's a fight neither of us will win. He's a man of diverse passions. Jim could open a restaurant, create its brand, craft the menu, cook the food, brew the beer and deliver it by bicycle (even if you live 100 miles away).
Joseph is our very own needle in a haystack… not easy to find (we're careful about who we bring to the team), but incredibly sharp. When he's not strategically growing businesses for us and our clients, Joseph is inventing his own (check out Hum — a song-writing app) and authoring & illustrating children's books for Harper Collins (yeah, he's a Dad too). Spare time? Joseph doesn't much care for it.
Every environment that Josh is in—whether it is in the digital space or the real world—is improved by his friendly, on-the-go nature. A short list: volunteering as a Somali youth mentor, fine-tuning user experience, organizing a kickball league, putting his brain up against software bugs, commandeering bike scavenger hunts: he's one tatted-up, cycle-loving, former-beach-bum of an energizer bunny.
He makes our right-brained heads hurt—in a good way. Mark knows everyone and their brother, and also knows how to keep us disciplined and on-target in our approach to client businesses. When he's not riding herd and making our clients' lives better, Mark hangs out with his boys and lovely wife Katie. Yet another GoKart musician, there's a rumor floating around there's a video of his band somewhere...
Matthew is a walking bundle of dichotomy: a strategic designer, a metric-driven UA guy, a believer in traditional AND emerging media. He's an economist and a songwriter, a creative soul who loves numbers, a lover of dogs, a fighter for the arts, and a darn fine cook to boot.
You never know what you don't know—except that Moses will let you know. He keeps the GoKart engine tuned up and humming at top speed, instinctively knowing when one of the moving parts in our beautiful machine needs a little grease to keep going. How does he do it? He claims it runs in his family... and he's got Excel on his side, too.
From the Big Sky state, Owen left the mountains behind to tackle data innovation here in the Twin Cities. As your paid search leader, Owen is a master of context. Right audience, right time, right message, right on budget. Put it this way: if your business is the mountain top, Owen is the guide to get people there.
He got his chops in banking, solving industry-specific business problems and creating digital solutions for financial education. Then Paul took a little left turn, following his nose around the world, helping German business clients viz zer English (and earning the nickname "German Paul" in the process). He landed with us, and we couldn't be happier—and our app and website clients feel the same way.
After 30 years working as an investigative reporter and news anchor, Rick has seen it all—which is why he loves being a part of our mad scientist crew that's constantly inventing something new. He's earned numerous awards including more than a dozen Emmys; with a drive to steer media into new, exciting directions, he's added "tech entrepreneur" to his already impressive job list of author, speaker, and documentary producer.
This guy… he knows social media, he knows sports and is definitely not pro-Wisconsin when it comes to team loyalty. Prior to joining the digital marketing practice here at GoKart, Ryan graduated from Mankato with a degree in Sports Management and ran social media for Team Ortho (Minneapolis Duathlon anyone?).
Rob is our mad genius of Media Strategy, with a borderline fanatical passion for developing meaningful, relevant and branded experiences. Never taking the success of solutions for granted, Rob's constantly defining new ways to measure and test results. Career capstone: Rob was once on a world-record setting, longest-Rice-Krispy-bar team. Years later, we're still impressed.
Steffin makes stuff. And yes, we need to use that broad of a statement. His laundry list of artistic and professional endeavors centers around the pursuit of knowledge, and he has the full storage locker and basement to prove it.
Tate is a master of her craft and has the mindset of a great director, spotting aesthetic opportunities from miles away. She builds bridges internally and with her clients, but won't hesitate to kick your ass if she needs to: in the boxing ring, on the roller derby track, in a head-to-head design smackdown, just name the time and place.
Call her "Big T" (no, actually, don't do that). Exploring the unknown seems to be in Thao's blood. Whether it's obtaining her open water scuba certificate, learning how to brew hard cider or figuring out snowboarding (as a way to avoid our stupid-long winters), she loves figuring things out. Next up — stretching her entrepreneurial muscles and being part of the team to invent, design, build, launch and support a new business. Go Big T!
GoKart Labs is in the digital experience business. We invent, design, develop, launch, promote and optimize digital strategies, web sites, mobile experiences, applications and businesses for our clients…and for ourselves. We would love to make you a part of our growing team of the best and brightest — smart, curious, creative and passionate people who "like things that matter".
At our core, GoKart Labs is an agile organization. We believe in open innovation and experimentation while applying data and analytics to constantly improve results and make us all better at what we do.
Break out your Rolodex. You'll seek out new prospects who need our particular digital expertise. Then, after copious research, you'll create pitches to win their business.
You'll draw on your long-term experience with interaction, and your knowledge of current technologies and visual trends, to deliver designs that balance user and client needs. You'll collaborate with developers and strategists to create websites, mobile apps, branding, and other digital products.
Using even parts hard data and a knack for current trends, you'll define business and product strategies that put users first. You'll communicate a vision for what should launch, and you care just as much about what happens after launch.
You'll collaborate with designers to create great uesr experiences. You'll work with back end developers to build custom web applications and to extend existing platforms. Settlers of Catan experience a plus.
You have a portfolio that demonstrates your knack for UX and visual design, and you're motivated to add to it. You'll support and learn from our team of senior designers, while creating websites, mobile apps, branding, and other digital products. And you'll work on quickly dropping that "Junior" moniker.
You will provide day-to-day office operations for GoKart Labs and Rumble Music. The receptionist will primarily be at the front desk answering and transferring calls, greeting visitors and working to ensure they are taken care of. You will also provide administrative support to the CEO.
We're always interested in meeting smart and curious people. If you have talent and passion in one of the following roles, we'd love to hear from you.

19th Century Porcelain & Brass Seal. This beautiful seal is hand painted on the top with a scantily clad young woman. The shaft with three sprays in the famille rose style. The brass shaft is decorated with beaded bands and woven work. The seal is inscribed with the letter H. I imagine this could quite well be French. It comes from a serious collector of beautiful objects. A nice, good quality piece. Length: 5.5cm

Dress for Success closes locally
New to You store, the organization's office shut doors
A local chapter of an international nonprofit organization that helped low-income women prepare to enter the workplace has shut its doors.
After more than seven years, Dress for Success has closed its office and New to You Thrift store, said Susan Clower, acting president of the local Dress for Success Board of Directors.
Insufficient funds and little community support forced the organization that helped provide clothing and support to women looking for jobs to fold, Clower said.
"It's hugely disappointing to the community because I know a lot of people relied on getting our clothes," she said.
The organization helped women referred from nonprofit and unemployment organizations from 12 area counties. More than 13,000 women received help through Dress for Success.
Two signs posted on the doors of the Dress for Success office and store on Old Brownsville Road read "Out of Business 12-12-06."
Clower wouldn't comment on the organization's funding problems, although it has struggled to stay afloat in recent years.
In June 2005, the organization was unable to meet its $8,000 monthly expenditures. Concern about financial improprieties resulted in a change in company expenditure policy.
The organization also began to rely more on revenue from its New to You thrift store after prices were marked down and sales increased.
But the board decided to close the organization earlier this month and has no plan to restart it.
"We're just trying to tie up loose ends," Clower said.

by Bellairs, John
Lewis always dreamed of living in an old house full of secret passageways, hidden rooms, and big marble fireplaces. And suddenly, after the death of his parents, he finds himself in just such a mansion--his Uncle Jonathan's. When he discovers that his big friendly uncle is also a wizard, Lewis has a hard time keeping himself from jumping up and down in his seat. Unfortunately, what Lewis doesn't bank on is the fact that the previous owner of the mansion was also a wizard--but an evil one who has placed a tick-tocking clock somewhere in the bowels of the house, marking off the minutes until the end of the world. And when Lewis accidentally awakens the dead on Halloween night, the clock only ticks louder and faster. Doomsday draws near--unless Lewis can stop the clock!
This is a deliciously chilling tale, with healthy doses of humor and compassion thrown in for good measure. Edward Gorey's unmistakable pen and ink style (as seen in many picture books, including The Shrinking of Treehorn and Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats) perfectly complements John Bellairs's wry, touching story of a lonely boy, his quirky uncle, and the ghost of mansions past. (Ages 9 to 12) --Emilie Coulter

Rosita Johanson at the Racine Art Museum
Rosita Johanson's minute narrative needlework are neatly aligned along gallery walls and glowing brightly in rainbow bright hues. The 20 works, from the 1990s through the 2000s, are on view at the Racine Aart Museum through Feb. 3.
The late Canadian artist was originally a dressmaker, the daughter of a tailor. She was born in Germany in 1937. She expressed her craft on canvas as well, stitching and appliqueing plush layers of fabric and using various other needlework techniques that she experimented with through the years. Johanson often employed loop pile embroidery, sewing shimmering beads, shells and various found items into her works. Loop pile creates a plush surface from tightly packed raised loops of yarn. It's also used to create carpeting, velvet and corduroy. »Read Full Blog Post

LaCage celebrates 30 years of dancing, drag queens and nightlife
"Back in 1984, LaCage was a safe space for LGBT and LGBT-friendly people to meet, hang out and have fun while making new friends," said Kris Heindel, who has owned the club with Michael Jost since 2005. "LaCage remains a safe space and fun, but its value has been enhanced through the years by greater societal acceptance and welcoming everyone to the LaCage experience and what they have been missing."
A four-day celebration of the LaCage 30th anniversary begins Thursday, April 24, with an invitation-only party followed by a public party, including a display in the Montage Lounge upstairs showing artifacts from LaCage through the years. Crystal Waters entertains on Friday. »Read Full Article

Reading the John Updike stories: 'The Astronomer'
I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
Like his story "Pigeon Feathers," Updike's "The Astronomer," published in 1961, deals with a crisis of faith. "Pigeon Feathers," written earlier but published a few months later than "The Astronomer," depicts a boy's loss of innocence about mortality and heaven. In "The Astronomer," 24-year-old Walter fears what effect an evening talking with an older, smarter friend will have on the shaky Rube Goldberg contraption of his belief construct. »Read Full Blog Post

Vice President Joe Biden is a serious fan of the National Hockey League's Philadelphia Flyers. But it's not because he's from Philly, or because he loves the team so much. It's because if he doesn't root for them, he can expect to spend the night alone.
The veep explained his tricky situation on Monday while in Chicago at a fundraising lunch. The city's Blackhawks recently beat the Flyers in six games to win the 2010 Stanley Cup championship.
And while he said he's always liked the Flyers, Biden confessed that he found a new passion for the team thanks to his wife, Dr. Jill Biden. "I married a Philly girl, and Philadelphia fans are the most, uh, most persistent fans in the world. My wife is counted among them.
"It's a simple proposition. I root fervently for the Flyers or I sleep alone. It's not a hard call. It's not a hard call at all."
Biden said he was unable to catch the final game of the Flyers-Blackhawks series because he was in Africa with his wife, but said, "That was one hell of a series, though."

the dance
We left for Disneyland on Christmas day 2014. The girls created this incredible play back in july which included songs, dances, acting, costumes, posters, and a financial plan that they had come up with so that our family could spend the Holidays in their favorite location. There were ideas of turning off lights, forgoing Christmas gifts,and promises to flush the toilet less- for water conservation and all. There was a business plan where they would sell baked goods, cash in all of their coins, and sell their old clothes in a garage sale. When it was all said and done they proudly handed us 283.00 for our trip having no idea that this wouldn't even cover the Disney passes. Neal and I took it to the Lord and asked if he could help us bless our girls with this dream come true and eventually we saved up enough to go.
To say that it is crowded in the park on New Years would be an understatement. We found it quite exhausting to get around, plus it was incredibly cold! My oldest daughter and I got in line for hot chocolate and somewhere behind us we could here some incredibly jazzy tunes being played. We peeked through the bushes to see sax players, crooners, and swing dancers. We decided to sit and watch. I wish you could've seen me sitting there with the most gigantic smile you've ever seen plastered across my face! I fell in love with the dancers, loved watching how their feet floated along the floor effortlessly, loved the incredible skirts and crazy high heels, and lost my self watching them dance. In my joy it must've looked like I was dying for someone to ask me to dance and so the nicest, and COOLEST of the dancers asked me to join him on the dance floor. I shook my head nervously and explained that I didn't know the dance and he promised me that I could trust him, that he wouldn't steer me wrong. It was awkward at first as my feet felt tied up under his effortless floating steps but eventually I started to catch on. I wish I had a video of this moment as I would throw my head back in laughter and as I improved the steps got more and more complicated and he was guiding me around the dance floor twirling me, and swinging me around as if I had done this for years. He was an incredible leader and I surrendered to his moves while he whisked me around and my girls watched on. They said later that it actually looked like I knew what I was doing... he was a great leader...
The last few weeks have been incredibly challenging for me. It seemed as though everywhere I turned there was something negative happening; hurtful things being said, relationships struggling, mistakes happening, and my head was spinning. It's hard to gain your footing when it feels like the world is whirling around you. Have you ever been on one of those gravity rides where it starts to spin faster and faster and faster and you get plastered to the wall like static cling until the ride begins to slow?? This has been my February. I have this horrible tendency of trying to save myself when life feels like it's spinning out of control. I have my own ideas of how my life should look, of how high my standards should be, of how people should view me and I try to live up to a standard that no one can achieve... I try to save myself... And in this I go down hard because I am incapable of saving me. I try to be a soldier, holding myself tightly, and erect, hands firmly clasped to my sides, tall and perfect, but this is a facade because inside I'm running for cover.
I keep coming back to this...
Psalm 119:71
while I DANCE to the tune of your revelation, my troubles turned out all for the best.
and vs. 77 Now comfort me so I can live, really live; your revelation is the tune I DANCE to.
and this word DANCE has jumped off the page at me.
And it makes me ponder.
What if I could relax and stop trying so hard to save myself. What if my trust in Jesus was so secure that I could DANCE even when the world around me is spinning.
Isaiah 30:16-17 says Your salvation requires you to turn back to me and stop your silly efforts to save yourself. Your strength will come from settling down in complete dependence on me- the very thing you've been unwilling to do.
oh man... that hits me between the eyes.
the very thing I've been unwilling to do?!
I have to confess it's true. I'm still learning about grace. Still learning that I don't have to be perfect.
One of the wisest people I know this week told me that God has seen every stupid thing I've ever done AND HAVE YET TO DO.
And I have to confess...
The reason I try SO HARD to be perfect is because I know that I don't really deserve it....
I don't really deserve to dance and run in wide open spaces.
But that my dear, dear friends IS grace... He knows EVERYTHING about you. Every tiny detail, every ugly thought, every rude remark, every time you took something to forget, everything you've looked at online, everything you've spoken over your kids, every rude thought about your spouse, everything.
GRACE, GRACE God's grace, grace that is greater that ALL my sin.
vs 19 of that same chapter in Isaiah says "Cry for help and you'll find it's grace and more grace. THE MOMENT HE HEARS, he'll answer."
And it makes me think of the dance.
I can see myself sitting on that bench on the sidelines, watching as everyone else seems so pretty, so effortlessly gliding, and I wish, oh how I wish I could dance.
And then I see my savior hear my cry, the cry that I thought was only in my head, and he walks over and extends his hand. I try to tell him that I don't know what I'm doing, that my feet are going to get all tangled up, but something inside me lets him lead. At first I feel clumsy amongst the other dancers but I fix my gaze to his. He looks down on my with the kindest most loving eyes, one arm wrapped around my back, the other firmly clasping my hand. He's a strong leader and I find my self surrendering to the sways and turns, and before you know it I'm gliding. And he comforts me so that I can live, really live. His revelation is the tune I dance to (psalm 119)
And we dance. While the world swirls and storms around me, we dance.

Becoming, The Unfolding of You
It seems like everywhere I go lately I find that the women around me are struggling with their identity. We struggle with things from our past, lies we've believed about ourselves, and comparison. These things reek havoc on our security and we walk around battling depression, feelings of inadequacy, and insecurity.
That insecurity has been allowed to have way to big of a role in my life taking over who I was and fought against who God has called me to be! For awhile it seemed to be winning the battle until I began to believe the truth about God's word! That God is for me, that he has a plan and a purpose for my life!
For many years I was a stay at home mom and there were days when I felt disappointed that my biggest accomplishment of the day was to clean the bathroom, which really was a total lie from the enemy because I forgot that I was doing the massively important task of feeding my children, bathing my children, teaching my children, correcting my children, training their little hearts... and all the things we can discount as small when you compare yourselves to other women that SEEM to be doing so much more. Fast forward to this year when I've started my own business and have had many failures and so much to learn along the way that I find myself wishing for the safety I felt as a stay at home mom. There's always something...
My friend Jeanne is offering this free course called Becoming, The Unfolding of You starting in January and there will be many amazing women who will share their own stories of God in their lives! I truly believe this will be a course filled with encouragement to women that we were born with a purpose, that the plans God has for us are to prosper us, that He works ALL THINGS for good, even what seems to be the most shameful of sins, ALL THINGS! That no matter where you find yourself right this very minute, God has a destiny that's specifically yours! He believes in you and is ON YOUR SIDE!
I sat down over the weekend and shared what God placed on my heart while my husband video taped. And then, wouldn't you know as I watched the video I wished I had worn something different, and noticed that my bangs looked funny, and probably looked at my notes one to many times and thought about retaking the video. But I realized that all those things were about me, about the exact things we struggle with as women worrying what people will think, and this is not about me, this is about GOD's story through my story!
I believe that your story is powerful! And God can use your story to encourage those who are coming up behind you. I also believe that there's an enemy that's trying to steal your story from you through discouragement because he wants to render us ineffective as women.
But what if...
What if we believe that WE ARE WHO GOD SAYS WE ARE.
What if we chose to reach up and grasp the hand of our heavenly Father even if at first our eyes are squeezed shut tight as we trust him not to lead us down the wrong path.
What if we DARED to trust that God made something AMAZING in us! Something that HE'S SO PROUD OF!
What if we chose to accept our story, no matter how dirty or shameful or maybe even boring that it may seem and hand it over to the King of Kings to use as testimony in the lives of those around us...
What if we dare to believe... to risk...
What if it turns out that in that risk we find our destiny...
What if...
I see those toes dangling over the edge of the diving board while you look to the waters that look so deep below you. Take a leap of faith! Plug your nose and JUMP!
God has a plan for you in this study! Won't you join the amazing women who are bravely sharing their stories and sign up for this free course? Here are the details:
This January join 20 women for an 8 week study all about finding your true identity in Christ. Each week you will hear unfolding stories from the women in this study. We will be sharing truths about who the Lord says we are and our personal journeys to accepting those truths.
We will also have fun creative videos that follow the study where the women will share one of their gifts. Think guitar playing, bread making, painting, entertaining and more. You know I can't have a course without sharing how the Lord uses our creativity! My hope is that the study will give you fresh eyes for the Lord and yourself. When we know who we are in Christ it changes everything and opens our paths and gifts in incredible new ways.
Some of us are carrying around "truths" about ourselves that are flat out lies and it's time to lay them down.
You can read more about Jeanne's beautiful heart for this free course and find information about registering here:

Nourish your soul; soup month! Today: Potato Chowder
There's been an awakening in my soul if you will, like I've been in a summer slumber and now I'm beginning to stir. I find I'm moved by beauty, it stirs me, entices me, draws me out. I wake to a thick grey fog this October morning causing the lights of the ferry to poke through its density, casting soft shimmers in the ripples of the sound. I feel cozy, bringing out the thick, nubby blankets and pulling up the cable knit stockings. I'm drawn to soup, making big pots on the weekend, savoring the chopping of the vegetables, the slow stirring, the warm smells. It's love for me, leaving something warm for the girls as they run to and fro darting from soccer to dance to sax lessons. They're busy, We're busy, but they know that when the come home at the end of the day something special will be on the stove and they can pull up a bar stool while I ladle them a large bowl of hearty soup and butter a piece of crusty bread while I listen. I'm trying to hear their hearts, encourage their dreams, and remind them always that they are lovely.
As the world seems to be increasingly moving faster and faster I long for my home to be a slow place where there's laughter, love, and food. I not only want our bodies to be nourished but our souls to flourish in the vastness of all that God has for us. I want to practice being still because it's in the stillness where I'm finding my rest! I keep thinking of the term "wide open spaces" and when that runs through my head I picture me running with my hair flying behind me and my skirt whipping from left to right, there's a smile on my face and I'm looking upward soaking in life! Hmmm.... I feel it now, LIFE, and I want to drink it, and grasp it, and soak in the warmth of it! Life Abundant; throwing off all that hinders; pride, wounds, broken hearts, broken lives; I'm throwing it off like a coat that's making me too hot and feels to heavy while I run in the sun and leave it behind, in the dust, where it's never to be put on again. That coat; it closes me off, cuts me away from living an open and generous life, and I want it no more.
There's a gentle nudge in my soul saying, "Time to get up sleepy head, you've hidden away for far to long. Lift up your eyes and see! See all that I want to show you! The world is alive with wonder and it's all me! Notice how when the leaves turn red and fall from the tree it's not a straight fall, but a dance. The leaf blows to the right and is picked up by a breeze, does a turn, and flutters and dances it's way to the ground."
And I'm amazed! You mean you own the skies yet you still want my heart? And he does. So I run.

3 weeks in!
Well they say it takes 3 weeks to break a habit and I'm here to testify. I can honestly say that I barely think about shopping anymore. My husband and I were talking and I shared a horrible thought, in 18 years of marriage this is the first time I've gone this long without buying anything if you're including magazines or candles or flowers. It feels good, it feels in control. I only have 9 days to go and I have to say that this is one of the smartest things I've ever done because not only did it make me realize how much I was spending just to scratch an itch but it also caused me to be very aware of my spending in other areas. I'd have to say that the area that was the most out of control for my family was the grocery bill which we've improved by making one large grocery run on the weekend at Costco or a local less expensive grocery store and then eating from what we've bought for the rest of the week. My girls informed me that they'd like to eat more salad so this week we went to Costco and stocked UP on produce! I have tomatoes, avocados, jalapeños, spring mix salad, peppers, cucumbers, peaches, limes, cilantro, feta, and from there I can make up all sorts of goodies!
The other night we visited my cousins farm where they served up a popcorn sized bowl of fresh salsa which was a.maz.ing! That ended the store bought salsa plan for me! So tonight I whipped up a batch of salsa and my family munched on it while I cooked up some chicken and made salads. It's a production around here as I just line up the bowls on the counter and toss in the veggies. We are eating WELL and spending HALF of what we used to spend by doing things this way. A little planning seems to go a long way! And I must confess that it's nice to have food in the fridge and pantry and not have to run to the store every time I need to prepare a meal. We've barely eaten out which has also saved us money.
One problem, I've put on a little weight with all of this yummy food in the house so I'll need to work on the self control! I've found it super therapuetic to chop the fresh veggies and make things like salsa and guacamole to top our chips and burgers with and I'm getting spoiled because fresh tastes so much better than store bought! Costco has even started carrying the blue corn chips so that's a huge plus!
I'm super glad we did this! I'd say that it's been a smart move for me! The other thing that has really helped is taking the time to track where our money is going, that way if we're getting out of control in an area, like the groceries, we can fix things before we find ourselves in a heap of trouble again. I've found myself referring back to the old Dave Ramsey way of doing things and I'm leaning towards more of a cash system once this is all said and done! I think we're onto a good thing here and I don't want to mess it up!
And it looks like we started this all just in the nick of time because my daughter was given a hefty ortho bill recently and I had to kiss going to Hawaii anytime soon bye bye. That's why I bought that pineapple you see in the photo above, it's my consolation praise. If any of you happens to be traveling to Hawaii soon (you know who you are haha) I will take a care package. haha
Love ya! ;O)

Half way there!
Yesterday marked 15 days into my 30 day challenge which means that I'm half way there! Never in a million years did I realize how much this challenge would affect me! In only 2 weeks my mind has been changed in regards to spending. Do you know what I've found to be the most true??
I'm really, really grateful!
I mean truly, deeply grateful for every little thing! And it's not just things, it's this whole new grateful attitude that's been building inside of me. I'm grateful for my life! I feel so taken care of, so loved, people have been so generous to me!
I did a little exercise today. I made all sorts of columns and bars and such and I calculated where we were at 2 weeks ago as far as spending on groceries, eating out, tithe, misc. items, anthropologie type shopping, etc and then I compared it to the first 2 weeks of this challenge and do you know what I found?? The ONLY THING that went up was our tithe. This is not because we are making more money but because we're being more intentional about putting Jesus first with every dollar that comes into our home! EVERY OTHER COLUMN WENT DOWN! And I don't mean just a little down, but a LOT! EVEN the groceries! Like cut in half!! And this feels like a miracle because we've barely eaten out at all which means we're eating home for every meal~! I don't know how God's economy works but I like his math! I've watched this over and over in my life in different areas, God honors obedience!
When I go out into the garden to cut peonies for my table I feel so blessed. As I was digging through the fridge this afternoon looking for something to prepare for dinner I was able to scrounge enough vegetables together for a salad and throw a pot of spaghetti together because we were trying to hold out until tomorrow before spending more money on groceries! We feel like we're eating like kings!
God blessed me with something else as well, on the first day of this journey I had a Starbucks card which was given to me for my birthday which I allowed myself to use for dates and such! I treated it as gold saving it for when I really wanted a treat! A few days ago I went to the mailbox and someone dear sent me another card to keep me going until I can spend again, a gift from God, and I've enjoyed each Americano immensely!
And do you remember me talking about putting things I might want when this is over on a secret board on pinterest to think about? It turns out I don't really want any of that stuff anymore except for one pretty dress that I still dream about sometimes but that's the only thing left! I was thinking about how many useless items I've purchased over the last year simply because my fingers were itching to buy. It's usually those items that don't last as long in my closet. I find myself wanting to slow down and only get something it it's extra, extra special.
This afternoon this cookbook arrived from a giveaway I won on one of my FAVORITE blogs and so I'm excited to curl up in my lounge chair outside with my favorite blanket wrapped around my legs while I figure out how to make the chorizo gravy guacamole loaded nachos cuz I'm thinking I need to get those into my belly this weekend!!
God has been so faithful to me! I'm giddy as a school girl! I so super, duper, highly recommend this 30 day cleanse of your finances! You learn SO MUCH! And I feel so much wiser now! I think that when I was in the buy, buy, buy mode it was never enough! And now I'm suddenly so super content and relaxed about not shopping! I'm even saving money on gas!!!
Wonder what's going to happen after the 30 days is up?? Cuz right now I feel like that song where she sings, "spirit lead me where my trust is without borders" only this time it's with my finances.

ten days in!
Ten days in! I can hardly believe it! I'm a third of the way there!! And I haven't slipped up once yet! Woo hoo! I find it therapeutic to cross off each day before bed! It makes me feel proud of myself somehow.
But I have a confession to make...
I think I chose an easy time to embark on this journey, the peonies are in full bloom and so I've been filling my home with beautiful flowers from the garden. I have SIX peony bushes if you can believe it! I had 5 but Jeanne bought me another for my birthday which will always make me think of my special friend. It's my favorite flower in all the universe, especially the Sarah Bernhardt ones because they look like fluffy pink candy and make the perfect fluffy balls!! I've already decided that when I move I'm tagging the peonies and taking them with me! We've lived here ten years so my plants are good and established, this means that one bush alone probably has at least 50 blooms! Could you just barf right now?? I know!
Also, the weather has been pretty great around here which beckons me outdoors. I run in the morning and then try and take afternoon walks with my mom and sister, this keeps me out of trouble. One thing I've figured out during this cleanse is that I often spend out of boredom. In the cold, damp winter season I get so stir crazy being cooped up in the house that it's almost like my fingers itch to buy something or go out to eat just to break up the monotony! With the sunnier, warmer evenings we've been content to sit out on the deck and relax in the sun while we wait for our food to grill, it's wonderful and really curbs the eating out desire!
At the beginning of this phase there were so many things I could think of that I wanted to buy so I made a private "wishes" board on my pinterest page of all the things I might want once our cleanse was over. As the days have passed most of those things have been deleted because I've realized that I don't really want or need those items. The ones that remain I've decided will stay until they go on sale and if at that point I'm still interested and the spending freeze is over, then I can think about it.
My sister is really great at sticking to a budget and blows my mind with the amazing things she finds for cheap because she's patient! She once found a pair of Uggs for 25 dollars, brand new! She's made fun of my spending before for things like fancy soap in the kitchen. Her exact quote was, "I'm washing my hands with cash!" When she put it that way I never bought such fancy schmancy soap again. She told me at the beginning of my 30 day journey that she bet that by the end of the 30 days I'd be so used to not buying things that I may just realize that there's not that many things I'm willing to spend money on anymore.
This is proving to be true. In only ten days I no longer feel the desire to buy something new, makes me wonder how much more this will change after 20 more days! They say it takes 3 weeks to change a habit and I'm hoping this change in permanent.

It's not my economy, but God's.
Happy Memorial Day weekend! I sure hope you're enjoying yourselves! It's been pretty quiet around these parts, we've stayed in, watched movies on the DVR, made popcorn, splurged on cherry coke, and I've cooked a little. Yesterday we did find ourselves a couple of hours with no kids so we used that golden Starbucks card and went on a coffee date. We sat outdoors at a table and discussed some big dreams for the coming year and even some bigger dreams for our future. I think it's easier to stay on task with this 30 day challenge when I know that changes in our spending habits could lead to huge dreams coming true one day!
I'm an early bird and am always the first person up in our family. While I wait for Neal to join me for our daily Bible reading together I usually grab a cup of coffee and sit at my desk and poke around pinterest, go over the budget, etc. My desk is my special spot, like mommy's little oasis. Most of the books here were gifts from someone dear, the candle was a very generous birthday gift from a sweet lady that I love with my whole heart! There's pictures of my loved ones and flowers from my garden.
I was SO tempted to cheat the other day!! I had to run into TJ Maxx with my youngest to grab a birthday gift for a slumber party she was invited to and did a dumb thing and found myself wandering over to the dress section where there were Roxy maxi dresses for less than 20 dollars! It's embarrassing how I was trying to legitimize the purchase of a new dress! The price was great! The dress was DARLING! Thankfully I couldn't find my size. I don't think I would've given in at this point but it's ridiculous how tempted I was! I'm still learning to just say no!
Spending less has actually allowed for a quieter life which I'm really enjoying! I was thinking back to my early 30s when Neal and I were pretty broke and I hardly ever got online to check my email because dial up took about 15 minutes to load and I didn't have the patience. Now we have the internet when we're sitting at a red light and looking for something to do. When I was younger if the mail arrived and there was a Pottery Barn catalog in the mailbox it would feel like I had just received a free magazine and I'd get myself something to drink and sit and enjoy looking through the pages while the girls napped. I'm reminded of a simpler lifestyle and it's good!
I still have 25 days left of no spending and it kind of feels long but it also feels good too. We came up with the idea of celebrating at the end of this season by going to a favorite restaurant as a family for dinner!
We've changed our spending habits, made tithe a number one priority to honor the Lord, and slowed down and God is honoring this! Work has picked up for me and I'm truly grateful for this! I LOVE to work and use my schooling! I'm starting to understand that the Lord lead us down this path of financial freedom so that we can be more available to be used for His kingdom! I can't help but think that when I'm buying dresses and Anthropologie and buying things for myself all the time I'm working to build my kingdom, but when I lay that all down it would seem he's beginning to change my heart towards HIS kingdom. It's not like I will never get a new dress again it's more like how many do I really need?
One last thought, I've noticed that this spending freeze has freed up time for me. When I shop, shop, shop it usually leads to coming home and figuring out what I need to return because of overspending and this also takes up time. This freed up time has had me outdoors where God is opening doors for us to chat with our neighbors. They're opening up to us about where they are in life and some are going through some difficult seasons. As I chatted with one lady the other day I promised to feed her this summer on our deck and hopefully just be a blessing to her and to those around our home.
Isn't it just like the Lord to take a small thing like a 30 day challenge and use it to open big doors for his kingdom! I like the way his economy works!

With band member in hospital, Flaming Lips cancels Beale Street Music Fest appearance
Oklahoma psych-pop group the Flaming Lips has canceled its appearance at the Memphis in May Beale Street Music Festival, and will be replaced by blues guitar power couple Derek Trucks and wife Susan Tedeschi.
The Flaming Lips had been scheduled to headline the Budweiser Stage on Saturday night, but the hospitalization of group member Steven Drozd on Tuesday has forced the group to scrap a handful of dates, including the Memphis appearance, according to festival organizers.
Trucks -- a member of the Allman Brothers Band and front man of his own group -- and Tedeschi will be added to a Saturday Budweiser stage lineup that includes a number of other Southern roots and blues acts like Gov't Mule, Drive-By Truckers and the North Mississippi Allstars.
One other change to Saturday's music fest lineup includes a switch at the SoCo Blues Shack, where the Burnside Brothers will step in to replace T-Model Ford for a series of sets throughout the day. Ford, an octogenarian bluesman from Mississippi, had to bow out due to health issues.

Customer Reviews of Pioneer DIVX HDMI 1080P All Region Fr6ee Code Free DVD Player Play PAL/NTSC 110-220 Volts
Great all regions player for the price11/20/2013
My wife and daughter love to watch Bollywood, German, and videos from the UK. I had purchased a rather complicated system for them to do so about 5 years ago which also played their VHS from other regions. It drove my wife bonkers trying to constantly switch from one device to the other and she finally would only watch those movies when we were all present. We purchased our first HD TV earlier this year and this player with its up-scaling capabilities has made viewing everything in our library a true joy. Just insert any DVD and press play. The instructions state that you can only play in your area but they are incorrect. If you really want to watch everything from anywhere in the world, then buy this unit!!

Limited-time feature
43 year old man | Burbank, CA, USA | Seeking women 30-45 within 15 miles
Allow me to introduce myself...
Who I am: I'm a good friend, I'm a writer I'm a listener, I'm a dancer and a singer (karaoke singer, don't want to give the impression that I'm a smooth crooner). My humor ranges from an Oscar Wilde turn of phrase to a Kevin Smith fart joke. Profiles that have the phrase "I live life to the fullest" make me scratch my head. If you wake up and breath I would assume you are living life to it's fullest, only zombies can claim otherwise. I giggle when I read profiles that list laughing and eating as things they love to do, guess they must not be living life to it's fullest. What I like: I like to sing in the car, experience new dining places whether they be dives or classy, kick back watching a movie and if it's a rental adding some Ben and Jerry's (gotta love the chunky monkey), checking out some live theater, rummaging through a bookstore and hearing how your day went and if it was a bad one, trying to make you feel better. As for what I'm looking for; well I could go into a shopping list of what I want but in the end all I'm looking for is my best friend and partner in crime. So there you have it a bit of me in a nutshell, a simple man with simple tastes. So tell me, how was your day?
Book club , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Watching sports
Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Dancing, Football, Other types of exercise, Swimming
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Birds, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Gerbils / Guinea Pigs / Etc., Horses
I have been to Europe 4 times and plan on going back, especially Italy and England. Locally, love me some karaoke so I go to Sardos in Burbank.
I love music as long as it hits my soul or makes my toe tap. As far as films go I am what you would call a cinegeek so I have a ton of favorite flicks ranging from drama to Sci-Fi so if you're interested just ask.
Hmmm lets see for fun....I love to dance (especially 80's and swing), going to the movies, going to see plays, writing, directing plays, shark fishing, glass blowing, pina colada's and getting caught in the rain
The last book I read was a biography on filmmaker Sam Peckinpah called Bloody Sam. Currently reading a biography on Woody Allen and reading book of short stories by Neil Gaiman
