Happy Birthday spa50!

Monday, March 08, 2010

Today is Tuesday March 9, 2010, spa50's birthday.  I want to tell you a story about 'The Secret.'  A couple of years ago I read the book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne.  It's based on a simple philosophy that has been around since the beginning of time.  In short, "You get what you give."  This philosophy is spoken

How Difficult Can It Be

Thursday, January 28, 2010

All we wanted was a logo, tag line and web address. It took us 3 days to figure it all out. First we began with Vistaprint and the logo looked washed out in the preview pane.

It's scary. It's exciting. It's a lot like marriage and starting a family. We just got hitched and now we're pregnant. And it's a NEW BUSINESS! My partner Kelly and I have been friends for years. I came from the corporate world but always dreamed of being an entrepreneur. My partner has been the entrepreneur - always the risk-taker. And I admire
