Coastal Core PilatesRead MoreOver the course of 10 years, Perri Panella has progressed from a Pilates student to a certified instructor who, in turn, went from helming an in-home studio to owning a PMA-certified business. At Coastal Core Pilates, she channels more than 600 hours of training to demonstrate the benefits of classical Pilates. During private, semi-private, and group classes, she teaches students the motion-based art of balance, as well as shows them the ropes on equipment—such as the reformer, cadillac, and tower—that grants access to an extended catalog of maneuvers. Perri also highlights the ability of Pilates to forge a link between mental and physical wellness. As the studio's health coach, she has become a conduit of support, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle advice for clients who wish to bolster their overall well-being and undercover robots seeking ways to appear more human.11275 Emerald Coast ParkwayMiramar Beach, FL US
Regatta Chiropractic and LaserRead MoreDoctor of Chiropractic Shawna Hogan's biggest complaint about health care is that "patients are so often rushed in and out of doctors' offices today without ever feeling that they are being listened to," she says. "My objective is to go the distance so that every patient feels that he or she is a priority." That attitude has helped her clinic, Regatta Chiropractic and Laser Center, flourish with a variety of patients, including multiple physicians, children, and pregnant women. When she's not administering chiropractic treatments, such as manual adjustments, massage therapy, and cold-laser therapy, she's helping clients slim down with Zerona noninvasive laser body contouring. In addition to making patients feel confident that they could slip through jail-cell bars any time they want, the Zerona treatments help patients struggling with back pain attributed to excess weight.4481 Legendary Dr.Destin, FL US
Pilates By The SeaRead MoreAfter a serious car accident left her with debilitating neck, shoulder, and back injuries, Laurie Beck searched for a way to ease her pain. She found reprieve in Joseph Pilates's marriage of Zen Buddhism, anatomy, and the Greek philosophies of mind, body, and spirit. Later, the practice helped her fight a tough and ultimately victorious battle with lymphoma and leukemia. Now, this strong woman—described by Vie magazine as a "beautiful and vibrant" person who can "light up a room with her smile"—leads a group of certified instructors in helping others reshape their lives. They show students of all ages and abilities how to strengthen their cores through body-sculpting Pilates, Gyrotonic, and barre classes using reformer machines and floor work. Laurie also eases pain through her reiki practice, guiding her clients' energy toward healing and away from lonely light sockets.2441 US Hwy. 98Santa Rosa Beach, FL US

WALLA WALLA — With his defender fighting through a pair of screens and less than 40 seconds remaining in the game, Walla Walla Community College's Nate Richards rose up from behind the 3-point arc with a chance to take the lead.
As his shot bounded through the net to take a 93-90 lead, Richards' defender and longtime friend, Kwinn Hanson, swung to the shooter a beat too late and was whistled for a foul.
"That was probably one of the best moments of my short career here," Richards said. "It just meant a lot to me that coach put that much faith in me to draw the play up to me. I'm just glad I practiced enough that I made the shot."
Although he didn't finish the four-point play, Richards' shot gave Walla Walla enough of a cushion to escape with a 95-92 win against visiting Spokane on Wednesday.
"He hit the big 3," coach Jeff Reinland said of Richards, who finished with 19 points. "It's too bad he couldn't finish the four-point play. It was just a great opportunity for him and a big 3 on his best friend, Kwinn Hanson."
Richards had nothing but respect for Hanson, who finished with a game-high 26 points on 11-of-12 shooting, but said it was sweet to score another victory against Hanson and the Sasquatch this season.
"Kwinn, I would say, is probably one of the best post players I have played against," Richards said. "We have a little rivalry going on. Being able to play with him twice and win twice, that's a little page in my book."
"We can't stop Kwinn," Reinland added. "We tried. We were going to double and we couldn't get there fast enough. He's the best post player in the NWAACC this year. He does a lot of good things. He's just a really good player and I'm glad he's graduating."
Walla Walla (12-13, 5-6 in NWAACC East) looked to be in command late in the game after Prince Lacey drilled a 3-pointer from at least five feet behind the arc to give the Warriors an 83-73 lead. But Spokane's long-range gunners answered back with four of their six 3-pointers coming in the final three minutes.
Jack Nygaard started the Spokane barrage with a trey to cut the Warrior lead to 85-79, before Sam Druffel came up with another 3 on Spokane's next possession.
After a Garret Sawyer trey made it 88-82 Warriors, Spokane cut the lead to two on a pair of Nygaard free throws and a Hanson hoop. But Walla Walla's Caleb Bravard answered immediately, as he grabbed a Lacey miss and put it in the hoop to make it 90-86.
Nygaard splashed another 3 to cut the lead to one, but Richards' 3-pointer and two clutch free throws from Sawyer allowed the Warriors to escape with the narrow victory.
"We went to our matchup zone because we weren't doing well in man-to-man," Reinland said of the late Spokane rally. "They're playing loose — they know they've got to take those and make them or they're going to lose, so there's no pressure. I'm just glad we hung on."
The Warriors also found themselves without any of their usual ballhandlers down the stretch due to injuries and foul trouble. Guards Dallas Reich and Joe Underdahl both fouled out late in the second half and point guard Satchel Schetzle was relegated to only 19 minutes of playing time due to an ankle injury.
With Reich and Underdahl on the bench, Reinland was forced to reinsert Schetzle down the stretch. That decision paid off, however, as his lone assist of the game came on Richards' dramatic 3-pointer.
"He didn't do the stuff he does," Reinland said of Schetzle, who scored a game-high 32 points against Spokane earlier this season. "He didn't drive. He wasn't quite ready to go, but he was good enough to give us some minutes."
Bravard led Walla Walla with 23 points on 7-of-8 shooting, including two 3-pointers. More importantly, Bravard poured in 12 of his points after halftime. Reich added 13 points with ten coming in the first five minutes of the second half.
After opening the half with a driving runner, Reich hit a pullup 3 to tie the game at 42. He wasn't finished there, however, as he hit another 3 in the corner before hitting a fadeaway jumper on the right baseline.
"We were going to go to Dallas the whole second half, unfortunately he got in foul trouble and it cut it short," Reinland said. "Dallas is a hard guy to guard. (He) just has to look for his shot more."
Lacey also came up clutch after intermission, as he scored all of his 13 points in the second half. He nailed three 3-pointers, but none were more important than his final 3-pointer that seemingly came from a different area code to give Walla Walla a 10-point lead.
"We play way better when we get Prince making a few shots," Reinland said. "He's a catalyst because he's our best shooter and we don't have a lot of shooters."
Walla Walla is currently sixth in the NWAACC East with three regular season games remaining. Reinland said the Warriors are in control of their own destiny in regard to the NWAACC tourament.
"We're not out of this thing yet," he said. "We're definitely not in. But we gave ourselves a chance tonight. We got two home games next week. We just got to keep battling."

Why choose Sykes?
Owning a holiday cottage is fantastic. But whether your cottage is for your own pleasure or for business, it can be expensive - unless you make it pay for itself. And letting a property on your own can quickly become a costly and time-consuming job.
There's taking care of your property or arranging for caretakers or cleaners, organising the contracts and establishing the terms and conditions with lawyers - and all of that is before you even consider advertising your property to attract customers, or dealing with their bookings, payments and queries.
Luckily Sykes, as the UK's leading independent holiday letting agent, can take care of all this and more. With 25 years' experience successfully owning and letting properties, we know how to secure year-round bookings and we can make it easy and more rewarding for you.
Cottage owners' comments
"I have to say your service is excellent and I have recommended you to customers and property owners alike. Well done Sykes!"Joanne Atkinson, Wales, November 2013 Read More Testimonials »

Are You "All At Once" or "One Inch At a Time" When You Get in The Water?
When I try to get into the pool, if that water is cold, I'll admit it. I'm a 'one inch at a time' kind of guy. First the feet. After about a half hour, when they warm up, I'll put the lower leg in and so on. The whole process takes about three and a half hours.

Nope, ain't gonna happen. Trump is just a flare. He'll burn out any second now, and go back to being what he was- a know-nothing blowhard.
And this is not an attempt at reverse psychology- nope, not in the least. Nada, no way!
Donald Trump Threatens To Hand The White House To Democrats By Running As An Independent
Donald Trump has explicitly threatened to run as an Independent if the Republican Party isn't "fair" to him. Polling has shown that a Trump third party candidacy would result in a landslide victory for Democrats.
"The RNC has not been supportive. They were always supportive when I was a contributor. I was their fair-haired boy," the business mogul told The Hill in a 40-minute interview from his Manhattan office at Trump Tower on Wednesday. "The RNC has been, I think, very foolish."
Pressed on whether he would run as a third-party candidate if he fails to clinch the GOP nomination, Trump said that "so many people want me to, if I don't win."
"I'll have to see how I'm being treated by the Republicans," Trump said. "Absolutely, if they're not fair, that would be a factor."
"I'm not in the gang. I'm not in the group where the group does whatever it's supposed to do," he said. "I want to do what's right for the country — not what's good for special interest groups that contribute, not what's good for the lobbyists and the donors."
Trump confirmed that he views himself someone who was loved by Republicans when he was writing checks, but now he views the party as being unfair to him. Here is a sentence that you won't read every day. Donald Trump's point of view makes sense. The Republican Party embraced his racist birther attacks on President Obama. The Republican Party elevated him from reality television star to political commentator.
In Donald Trump's mind, he is doing nothing different than he did before.
The consequences of a Trump third party run were made clear in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll. If Donald Trump runs as an Independent, Democrats will win the 2016 presidential election by double digits. Trump would also place the Republican Senate majority in jeopardy, and might cost the party a few House seats as well.
Republicans have two options. Either they can leave Trump alone and let him destroy the party as a Republican candidate, or they can attack Trump and set the stage for him to ruin their odds of winning the White House as an Independent.
Either way, it looks like Democrats have been given a gift named Donald Trump.

You're not taking Trumpenstein's massive ego into account. He's in this for the long haul. And when he loses the election (either as a Republican or Independent), the ensuing temper tantrum will be epic.
The GOP would have no problem getting Trump on the sidelines; expose his business practices! He destroyed countless contractors and staff accumulating the spoils of his unethical deals. He is an egotistical maniac and they need to expose him.
SHHHH…….Leave them alone.
And how is such any different from what Republicans in Power do?
This falls under the idiom: "Give them enough rope, and they'll hang themselves."
Applied, currently, to the Republicans.
They 'made' it, they set the stage, they invited and promoted the xenophobia and insanity of the 'tea party', and now they're stuck with Trump.
The GOP can't get away from who THEY are, and Trump exposes that in 3-D splendor !
IF they turn on their Frankenstein's monster, another idiom will come into play:
"Hell hath no fury like a 'lover' scorned."
Trump has placed the Republicans in a Catch-22 situation.
He is basically blackmailing them. He is also calling the shots and goading the candidates to lash back at him, IF they dare.
They certainly consider him a pain in their behinds, a thorn in their sides. But can't do a dayuum thing about it. He's in for the duration. Treat him nice, or else, he becomes a Third Party candidate, gets to keep his adoring base (fans)resulting in a split Republican party, which in turn, makes the Democrat's candidate safely Outnumber the two opposing candidates in the General Election.
So, it's either they make him their candidate or he goes rogue and screw up their game plans. No matter what, Trump has ensured that they can't win.
It doesn't get any better than that folks. ;)
The new republican motto is "Dump Trump". The Donald will not stand for mistreatment. He was convenient for the re-thugs but now is nothing more than an inconvenience. LMAO!! Republicans mad Trump. At least the Pillsbury dough boy (aka Rushbo) is still singing Donald's praises.
…I think Trump hijacked the Avatar of Hate the Republican Party built, lie upon lie, fearmongering spliced into {anti}Christianity, using the American flag as the skin holding it all together…but the Teahadists never intended to let thier monster leave the lab until the time was right…just before the election, but Trump had other plans…
…now the Republicans are trying not to own the monster…
…good luck with THAT…lol
ever petulant Donnie Dipstick announces the formation of the JackAss Party… the symbol, announced by the ever classy Donnie, will be the rear end of said jackass…
advisers to his third party campaign will be Ralph Nader and Ross Perot due to their success in running third party campaigns…
additional financial backing will be supplied by Monty Burns and the StoneCutters Society…
Just thought of a great one:
"Hey Republicans, TRUMP happens !"
I thought Trump appealed to the Republican vanguard that follows him as the new moral majority. What happened? He's got to fight back against those who are in the GOP but do not support him. So he may take his majority followers to a third party ticket, and leave the Conservatives to their immoral ways. It's a fantastical story brought to Americans everywhere.
Many of Trump's supporters are actually encouraging him to run as an Independent. Well, we already knew these folks were clueless …
If your objective is to win the general election, then you need to run as either a Democrat or Republican. It is completely naive to believe that an Independent will garner enough electoral votes to win the presidency.
On the other hand, if your primary goal is to "stir the pot" and force candidates to discuss issues that they would prefer to avoid, then running as an Independent may suffice.
In Trump's case, the motivation for his "3rd Party Candidacy" threat is to exact vengeance upon the RNC for a perceived slight, thereby damaging the Republican Party's chances to win the presidency.
Trump said:
"I want to do what's right for the country — not what's good for special interest groups that contribute, not what's good for the lobbyists and the donors."
I believe Trump is trying to save America from the Oligarchs who are want to control the Puppet Strings.
Look at Scott Walker…Groomed by the Koch and all that Citizen-United Money!
"Dred Scott turned People into Property. Citizens United turned Property into People"
Perhaps Trump is truly attempting to save America from Plutocracy!
Trump may have finally messed up. During the same interview he trashed McCain, he said he hasn't asked God for forgiveness. He forgot to kiss up to the "Christian " right, or needed to tamp down some of his supporters. Walker laid it on thick with his announcement saying God directs every major move he makes. He just forgot to mention he has two Gods and their names are David and Charles. Speaking of Walker and Kochs, Trump hired Koch employees for his campaign and asked David Koch to be his senior political advisor. You notice Trump hasn't trashed Walker. He just may be paving the way for the Kochs chosen one. Walker has already proven he will do anything they want, no matter what.
Check out this from Bloomberg:
Scott Walker Is King of Kochworld
"The Kochs have pledged to marshal some $900 million to spend on a fight for Walker's presidency".
With Scott Walker's graduation to the political major leagues. The audience had been delivered up by AFP Americans for Prosperity, a Tea Party organizing group founded by Charles and David Koch, the billionaire energy executives whose fortune helps shape Republican politics. With Americans for Prosperity, the brothers had harnessed the Tea Party's energy in service of their own policy goals, including deregulation and lower taxes. And in Walker, they'd found the perfect instrument to help carry them out. The rally was one of the first times they'd joined forces.
A Must Read:
The Koch's AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY also funds RightWing Talk HATE Radio:
This is so true so the Republican Party knowing this will spilt the party if they do not listen to the majority of the party and Nominate Trump. Trump is not like all other candidates, afraid to offend anyone or any money backers, so they don't say anything. Talk about global warming, snails in Asia, or other such hard hitting issues. Trump all the way 2016. On board and standing with Trump!
On this Koch pledging insane (a LOT) of dollars on the candidacy of one candidate, just looks as though they are gambling on One (or two) candidates to be their "inside" man. In other words: Beholding to THEM if that person wins the Presidency. That does NOT what most Americans want. They don't want to have a person in the White House who HAS to do their $$$$ benefactor's bidding. In other words: a bought and paid for puppet. So, I think it is distasteful to many voters. And whoever the Kochs back up, will be NOT who the general American citizens would want in the White House. Simple as that.
I almost always agree with what's written in politicususa, especially by jason easley. But i will need an explanation as to how trump may cost republicans senate and house seats. I can see it going the other way actually, as trump probably will fire up the looney tunes who never vote, and i doubt those nutjobs will vote for anyone with a D next to their name. but yes, trump will had a dem the white house in a rout. i worry about the other races.
…New catch-phrase:"Trump happens and then ya vote…DEMOCRATIC!!!"

Sen. Rob Portman said Sunday the "greatest act of bipartisanship" over the last few decades has been both parties "over-promising and overspending."
"And so yeah, there's fault on both sides," the Ohio Republican told NBC's "Meet the Press." "And that's where we are."
Mr. Portman and Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, Illinois Democrat, traded talking points on the talk show Sunday, but found common ground in their belief that Congress and the White House will strike a deal to reopen the government and extend the nation's borrowing authority before Thursday — the Treasury-designated deadline to raise the debt limit.
"We'll figure it out, and it will probably be a relatively short-term solution," Mr. Portman said.
The senator said a prior attempt to address long-term spending, known as the "super committee," "wasn't so super, it turned out."
But he did agree with Mr. Durbin's take on entitlement spending, a piece of government spending that is expected to burden the U.S. government in the long-term.
"We know that come 10 years from now, Medicare is not sustainable financially," Mr. Durbin said. "We've got to do something. Why wait 10 years to see that reality? We know that Social Security has 20 years, or perhaps less.
What are we going to do about it today, in a small way, that will give it this longevity?"
President Obama has indicated in the past he is willing to take on his own party over entitlements, a slice of spending that liberal Democrats have been reluctant to take on.

Every life is both ordinary and extraordinary, but Logan Mountstuart's - lived from the beginning to the end of the 20th century - contains more than its fair share of both. As a writer who finds inspiration with Hemingway in Paris and Virginia Woolf in London, as a spy recruited by Ian Fleming and betrayed in the war and as an art-dealer in '60s New York, Logan mixes with the movers and shakers of his times. But as a son, friend, lover and husband, he makes the same mistakes we all do in our search for happiness. Here, then, is the story of a life lived to the full - and a journey deep into a very human heart.
©2002 William Boyd (P)2011 W F Howes Ltd
"A fabulous book"
The story is just wonderful, the writing is terrific, the characters are rich.
Forrest Gump, in that real characters interact with the protagonist. But this is an English book, through and through.
I am a very fussy listener, and I'd give this narration 3 out of 5. Perhaps a younger narrator would have been better for the earlier part of the book.
Logan Mountstuart, the lead. He's funny, smart, complex and flawed - just as a good lead character should be.
This is such a satisfying read, and for me, a great introduction to a writer who is now on my "must read" list. I can't recommend it highly enough. And once you've read it, take a look at the glorious TV series of the same name starring Matthew McFadyen and Jim Broadbent. I'm sure I'll revisit both the book and the show over the coming years, they're that good.
"Wonderful storytelling"
This book was a joy. Following the story of Logan Mountstuart from schooldays through to the end of his days, this book was warm, amusing and sad by turns. Logan's life covers most of the 20th century and we see major world events through his eyes. Beautifully written by Mr. Boyd and expertly narrated by Mike Grady, Mountstuart's life is explored through his journals and for the first time, I really forgot the book was being narrated and just believed that Mike Grady was Logan Mountstuart. The story of a life well lived.
"A poignant journey through a man's life"
When I finished listening to this book I felt as if I'd accompanied Logan Mountstuart through his life with all his hopes and disappointments. It's a mixture of the very personal feelings of the man played against the backdrop of world events into which he gets drawn. Logan seems very real, very human and even though he sometimes behaves badly he remains a sympathetic character, who has an extraordinary eventful life with many ups and downs, sadness and happiness, success and failure.
It's long book but I didn't want it to end. The reader is excellent.
"A Beautiful & Bittersweet Life"
This is, quite simply, a masterpiece of storytelling. The protagonist, Logan Mountstuart, is a flawed yet nonetheless likeable individual whose tale, as it encompasses various notable people from the arts and spans the 20th century, is completely compelling. The narration by Mike Grady is also superb.
"Condensed human experience"
Beautifully written and narrated. This book really lends itself to the audiobook format; it is an experience to listen, and you feel sorry when the story finishes . Typical Boyd; it immerses the listener into the very individual world of the lead character. There is tenderness, wit, tragedy and fun; just like real life.
"Great Escape"
Yes. I feel like Ive met some of these people, their types, and I know well some of the locations described...always enjoy connecting that way. Parts of the story even touched on my special interests; art world. I engaged with the piece completley, it is intimate that way. I believed in it and liked the man Logan, laughed aloud countless times and was moved almost to tears more than once. Great escapist entertainment like this is worth a re visit.
I will be looking for something similar.
Thought he was perfect.
I painted my house whilst listening to it, over three days, it was very tempting to listen to the whole thing in one session, but I needed to eek it out.
I really didn't want this to end and have already relistened to so many parts. Ridiculous, I know, but I am mourning the passing of Logan Mountstuart and have relished being taken through his life. The writing and reading are superb and it will be a long time before I discover such a deeply satisfying listen again.
"Don't read Boyd all at once!"
I had just finished 'waiting for sunrise' and really enjoyed it. I'd listened to 'restless' ages ago. But this is too similar to Sunrise to be a comfortable next listen. I felt that I'd already enjoyed parts of this before. Whilst I know they weren't written in that order, it did became an issue for me. I'll let him alone for a year or two and then see what the rest are like. Having said that, he's a good author. Just maybe recycling a few ideas? ;-)
"Any Humam Heart"
Absoloutly loved this book, make some time and settle into Logan's world spanning decades and continents with Logan will make you consider how lives can be lived outside of the usual constraints the humdrum and predictable.A word of warning however, this will start a William Boyd habit.
I really struggled through this book. I continued for 3/4 because a friend loved it but I hated it. The main character was shallow and bland but not in any sort of well-rounded or intelligent way. I felt like I was stuck in a pathetic male fantasy where first this woman, throws herself at him and then the next, (for no perceptible reason other than it would be pleasant for some to imagine it) the differences between the women being breast shape and skin colour. Then the plot was just a roaming fantasy about bumping into Earnest Heminway and any other famous figure William Boyd has probably ever wondered about. Awful, awful, awful.
"A novel full of humanity, humour and honesty"
Written in the form of an occasional diary, this thoroughly enjoyable work recounts the life, loves and feelings of a writer and bon viveur, Logan Mountstuart, born 1906, died 1991. The author himself describes this life as "long, fraught and complex" and, without ever being a page turner, the novel provides a fascinating insight into the experiences, thoughts and feelings of a character who aspires to be a respected writer, while at the same time seeking to indulge at every opportunity his lust for life.
I defy any mature male reader not to identify to some extent with this character, while many women may find it enlightening to read an honest and frank account of the relationship between the sexes recounted from a very male standpoint.
To my mind, a good test of much one has enjoyed a novel is how one feels having finally reached the end. I have to say that I felt quite sad, both at finishing the book and at the thought that the writer had now laid to rest this admittedly very self-absorbed but also very sympathetic character.

Decluttering the Entryway
An organized entryway makes life easier and creates a beautiful entrance to your family's home.
It's the portal of passage between home and the outer world: the entryway. For the family, it's the place from which they launch themselves each day and hit the road; for guests and visitors, it's the place where they form their first impression of the house or apartment that lies behind that front door. Try these tips to organize door areas and entryways:
Focus on floors. In the entryway, the outside meets the inside and brings plenty of mud and moisture with it. Place entrance mats on both sides of the door to trap tracked-in dirt and rainwater before it hits your clean house.
Clear clutter regularly. Family comings and goings tend to deposit mail, paperwork, newspapers, magazines, library books, broken items and extra clothing at the door. Schedule regular STOP clutter sessions in the entryway.
Climb the walls. Make the most of wall space for storage. Hang a key rack near the door for easy access. Pegs and hooks hold rain gear, jackets and summer hats.
Use the door. Hang or attach a shoe organizer on the back of the door. Roomy pockets hold mittens and scarves, sunglasses and suntan oil, pet leashes, and garden gloves and shoes where they're accessible but not in the way.
Contain it. Provide a mix of open and closed storage to house entryway contents: cubbies or shelf units for baskets or dishpans used as family Launch Pads. Add a low storage bench for seating when changing shoes or donning galoshes. Label containers to help family members remember to use them.
Mission Control: Family Launch Pads Just as a spaceship must have a dedicated structure to support liftoff, so family members need a Launch Pad to stabilize them as they blast out the door in the morning. What is a Launch Pad? It's a dedicated space — perhaps on a bookcase shelf — to contain all the "out-the-door" essentials for each person.
First principle: Corral, corral, corral. So you've cleared a shelf on that bookcase? Give each family member a different-colored plastic dishpan for their Launch Pad, and nobody's field trip permission slip will walk to school with the wrong sibling or disappear behind the shelf.
Second principle: Make putting away easy. Child comes home from school, tosses homework and lunch menus in her dishpan. Dad comes home and tosses paycheck, keys, billfold, receipts and pocket change into his. There things stay, safe and segregated, until they are needed next morning.
Third principle: Think creatively. A Launch Pad need not be a space on shelf or table. In one family, each child has a backpack that lives on the back of its owner's dining chair. Lunches, papers and gym clothes go directly to the packs.

Workers' Compensation Lawyer
I strongly recommend that you consult with a workers compensation attorney as there are a number of issues under the new law that are tricky. Future medical for the other eye may be at issue since it will have to overcompensate for the eye lost.

You may think you need to get all your ducks in a row—a perfect business vision, business model, business brand, personal brand… all neatly lined up and packaged up, before you start sharing content with anyone else.
So you hesitate to launch until you know every single detail is perfectly in place (and every person who sees it will love it).
You shy away from telling people what you really do in conversations until you've proven you're a success at it (and that means proving it to yourself first, which can be the most difficult person to please of all).
You circle around a blog post or an email you want to send for days, until you muster the courage to put something that's a little more personal than professional out into the world.
Or vice versa, you backpedal from writing about your business dream versus the typical weekend highlights that your friends and family have come to expect from fun-loving, weekend-loving (but surely not business-loving!) you.
You're waiting. You're waiting for your business, or your dream, or your brand, to match what it is you want to say now. But they'll never catch up with your head and heart. So just say it. (Tweet this)
Whatever the content is—you're waiting to hit send, publish, or even say it out loud—the point is, you're waiting. You're waiting for your business or your dream or your brand to match what it is you want to say now. And here's the thing—they'll never catch up. Your head and heart and all it wants to say are always going to be two steps ahead of the business or brand or dream you've already been able to create. So just say it.
Say it if it's not perfect, write it if it's not 100% fully-formed, share it if it's still just sharing the journey along the way. Because if those first rocket-fast years of working for ourselves taught us anything, it's that your content shapes your what you do, not the other way around.
If we sound passionate here, it's because when we started Braid we were saying all the things our past experiences had taught us were true, but we were also saying a lot of the things that we wanted our business to become. We said we were "for the creatives!" when half our clients were simply small businesses and the other half were the creative entrepreneurs. Today we're 100% creative entrepreneurs. We used personal branding as just one aspect of the kind of branding we do. But we talked about personal branding in practically every post or email we wrote. Today we consider almost every branding project we do – personal branding.
The spark for this post, for the words we're sharing with you now is our Braid ECourse this month, Shape Up Your Content: Tame Your Ideas and Tell People How To Buy You. If there was one revelation that's come from this ecourse, now in it's third year, it's come from the "Braiders" who have taken the course and haven't been shy to share their comments. They ask us tough questions as they carve their messages, because they take this course seriously. Because they get it. What they say about their business now is really what they are saying about their future vision – and themselves. It's where they want to go next. What they want to be doing.
So yeah, this is an ecourse about sorting your ideas and writing content that says what you want it to say about your personal brand, about your business—but it's also about shaping what you want that business to become.
What you're saying about your business now, is really what you're saying about your vision. It's where you want to go next. (tweet this)
The next time you introduce yourself, instead of diminishing what you do, say what you do plus that dash of what you are just starting to to do but still don't have completely figured out. So if you're a designer who is really starting to transition into brand consulting. Say "I'm a designer, but my specialty is branding." If you're a lifestyle coach who is really wanting to focus in on eating issues or concerns, start writing most of your posts (be it your blog or simply your Instagram) about changing our relationship with food.
To quote the work of Florence Scovel Shinn (you know it, but it's an oldie and a goodie), "your word is your wand." What you say, what you write, what you choose to talk about is what you put out into the world – and lookie there, it's what comes right back at ya.
If you're dealing with creative fear, need help with time management, or simply need a boost of inner-confidence when it comes to showing up and being seen you might like the DIY Coaching for Creatives email sessions. You can sign up anytime! It's just $40 for 4 weeks of content delivered straight to your inbox – plus, it's a great way to invest in yourself at the beginning of a new year.
The Braid Method Branding ECourse is for creative entrepreneurs who are ready to support themselves financially with their business, create a blog or consistent online presence, and finally turn the work they're already doing into a digital product, package, or offering for dream customers. This branding ecourse comes with 7 learning modules in a 300+ page digital download, a workbook with 20+ branding exercises and scripts, a quarterly masterclass, and an exclusive Facebook group so you can connect with us and other students.
Tara here. We all grew up with catchy slogans – "just do it," "got milk?" or "a diamond is forever." They've been etched in our brains because of how consistently they've been used – and all the ways and means these big-budget brands have impressed them upon us.
But even without big budgets, trending one-liners and themes are still impressing and influencing us and our peers in the realm of the creative entrepreneur, now more than ever – from hashtags that catch on like wildfire, to pinnable quotes that strike an irresistible chord.
A themeline may even start with you – a product you're launching, a movement you're championing. But those are ideas, products, events and rallying cries that come and go with the flow, they don't describe what you do as a personal brand and a business.
Of course you should keep creating those ideas, those products, those launches and those themes in time with the seasons, in time with what's happening in the world, and most importantly, in time with your own bursts of inspiration.
But! When it comes to that single line that describes what you do (that doesn't change over time!) – you don't need a catchy, clever, cute or even a razor-sharp cut-through-the-clutter slogan that's going to make you popular, memorable or hirable. You need a tagline.
A tagline (I sometimes simply call it a descriptor line) should be a useful companion to your brand name and logo, that does a little of the explaining for you.
A few weeks ago I wrote How To Decide On Your Business Name and promised a follow-up on how to write your tagline to go with it. So before you think of it as a hashtag or a pinnable quote, as a shoe box slogan or a one-liner delivered by Morgan Freeman at the end of an emotionally stirring commercial – think of your tagline in brand places like your website masthead, a sign-off to your newsletters or posts, or in your social media profile.
Think of your tagline as the biggest clue, in the smallest amount of words, into what you do and how people can buy or hire you.
A short and sweet tagline (or descriptor line) for your business should:
a. show what your business does in an instant; and/or
b. round out what your business name alone isn't telling people
Creating A Say-What-You Mean Descriptor Line vs. a Catchy One:
Here are a few different fill-in-the-blank formulas you might try:
1. The "I Do This for Them" Version
Your Business Name (could be your name, of course) followed by:
For example:
Green Goddess
floral design for events
But what if she had a shop and did events? I'd do the one- two- three- punch:
2. The "Short-Short Laundry List" Version
For example:
Green Goddess
florist | design | special events
But what if her name was her name? But she loved the idea of a "green goddess," perhaps that's even her logo mark design?
3. The "Make Your Name Still Sound Like a Business" Version
In this case I might suggest a short descriptor line you use with your logo sometimes, but a "rallying cry" that feels like your personal motto that you pepper in when you have the space, or the right context to do so:
For example:
Julia Hernandez
floral design & events
"for the green goddess in all of us!"
4. No matter which version you use, go back and pepper in Purpose & Personality
Okay, so these are feeling pretty straightforward. And very concise. They almost feel like a "duh" moment, like "of course that's the description for what I do." But where's the creativity? Well, a little goes a long way. You don't want to turn your breadcrumb into a full-on bagel! But here are some simple ways you might infuse a little more of "you" into what you do in a line as short as your tagline:
For example (and this is my favorite of all the "imaginary" Green Goddess combos):
Green Goddess
natural floral design for wildly gorgeous events
Note the "natural" descriptor. That's stating some purpose. Perhaps she only uses local plants or more natural-feeling designs (no tight rose-only bouquets).
Note the "wildly gorgeous" that's infusing some personality. Perhaps she's a total stylista, completely influenced by fashion and design in all her floral designs.
Caution! Don't use words you don't really use. If our Green Goddess was a shy wallflower, vs. this loud and fabulous floral designer. Then you might tone down the flair, but keep the "natural" intent.
Having trouble writing this deceptively short and simple line? Or simply picking the one that "feels right?"
Now, I recognize that not all of you do work that's as straightforward as floral design. Many of you do a hybrid of services, or are still in transition, trying to figure it all out and how it fits together. So, yes, even though your tagline shouldn't change as much as your hashtags do, you should give yourself permission to evolve or update it every three to six months. We've updated ours (branding & business visioning for creative entrepreneurs) at least once or twice since we've launched. Just knowing it's not totally set in stone can free up the writer's block!
But if you're still struggling, here are some tips:
Give yourself wiggle room to warm up.
A great way to warm up is to give yourself a longer word count. See if you can sum up what you do, and who you do it for (with a dash of your personality, using your own words, because you are not a robot!) in a couple short paragraphs. Then whittle down from there.
Get methodical and categorize your words.
You can also try this method: listing single words in category columns. Pick a category for each column and write it at the top of the page, for example a.) the kind of service or product I provide, b.) my specialty, flair, unique approach or signature style, c.) who I create this service or product for. Then list different words that pop up within their column. Then narrow down to your favorites in each column. Start pairing them up with each other. This could end up being a three word descriptor line, or a single statement that merges the three ideas.
Give yourself some context, and "try on" your tagline alongside your business name.
I also find it really helps to write or say your business name before you "try on" the tagline. So don't just start listing the taglines that you're deciding between in a row. Pair each one of them with your name first. Then read them out loud. Imagine them on your website masthead with your logo. Imagine them on your business card.
Or try starting an introduction using your favorite one. "Hi, I'm Tara and my business Braid Creative is _____ [ tagline here ] ____. What I mean by that is…" and there you go, the conversation has begun. And it just started with one line, that simply described what you do.

Lindsey co-owns a grab-and-go food bar in OKC offering up clean eats like soup and salad, she does one-on-one nutrition and food coaching, and is always pursuing new training, certification, and degrees in her field of study. She is a dedicated student of her craft who just wants to help people feel better after they eat a meal. Lindsey loves reading The New Yorker, she regularly listens to foodie podcasts, and enjoys a good slow dinner with friends. Lindsey is also a really talented writer – the problem is she doesn't know what to write about. She's feeling stuck, but she's not alone. The downside of being a creative for a living is having to create even when you're feeling uninspired, blocked, or downright afraid.
Together we brainstormed a few ideas of how she could structure her content and create systems for always having something to write about. We also talked about the fear of not being good enough and feeling inadequate when it comes to our own high standards. So today I thought I would share some of the ideas we came up with on our Monday morning coffee date in case you're feeling stuck too.
When you're feeling stuck just mind the gap.
First off, I know I've shared this Ira Glass quote before but it's worth repeating:
"Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it's just not that good. It's trying to be good, it has potential, but it's not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn't have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I've ever met. It's gonna take awhile. It's normal to take awhile. You've just gotta fight your way through."
If you're feeling like Lindsey, and every other creative entrepreneur who is a student of life, then you will constantly feel as if you're coming across new gaps just as you close the old ones. That's a good thing. It means you're growing. But like Ira Glass advises – you just have to keep writing! Here are some ideas to get you going:
When you don't know what to write about – write about what you've been talking about.
Don't underestimate or take for granted your gifts of knowledge. What kinds of questions or conversations have you answered lately? Write about that! For example, as of yesterday I had no idea what I was going to post this week so I started mentally combing through my conversations with friends and clients. My Monday morning coffee with Lindsey was top of mind so now I'm writing about it and hopefully sharing something valuable with you along the way.
When you don't know what to write about – read something.
Nothing gets my gears turning like reading a good memoir or self-development book. If it doesn't spark entirely new topics or ideas to write about I'll simply share a review. Not everyone has the time to read the book for themselves so write about what you learned from it or how it inspired you. My review of Daring Greatly caught Brené Brown's attention and from there she became a Braid Method client! (Now if only Amy Poehler would become my BFF.)
When you don't know what to write about – share what you've been working on.
What have you been working on lately? Write about it. It doesn't have to just be the polished finished product. You can share the behind-the-scenes of your creative process. Tell the story of what it was like to truly help your client – paint a picture of what they looked like before and after working with you. So for Lindsey it might not be just writing about the benefits of vitamin C but sharing how her client shifted and transformed when she started eating foods that nourished her body and mind.
When you don't know what to write about – establish creative boundaries.
The cool part about working for yourself is it means you get to do whatever you want. But being creative can be overwhelming when the sky is the limit. So create constraints for yourself. Define the parameters for what you want to create – that might be limiting yourself to a topic, word count, or deadline. It might be working from writing prompts (Alexandra Franzen has some great ones here). And remember, once you create some rules for yourself you can always break them.
When you don't know what to write about – dig into the details.
Lindsey went to a writing workshop hosted by the very talented food and memoir writer Molly Wizenberg. I asked Lindsey for one great writing tip she learned from the workshop and she said that Molly keeps a little 1" frame on her desk – it reminds her that she doesn't have to write about All The Things. That she can take one small detail or fragment from her life and create a really deep story about what she sees through a 1" frame. What a great reminder.
