When we first started,
We took on every business that needed help.
If they needed marketing, we were all in.
But we quickly learned somethingâŚ
Not every business is the right fit.
If their values didnât align with ours,
The work felt forced, the vision was unclear, and the results suffered.
So we made a shift.
We stopped saying yes to everyone.
And started partnering only with value-driven business ownersâ
People who see their business as more than just numbers, but as a mission.
Now, when we work with a client, we treat their business like itâs our own.
We care about their success as much as they do.
Because when weâre fully aligned, the results are next level.
And thatâs what truly matters.
Hereâs how we make it happen:
We clarify your message so you attract people who get you.
We build strategies that align with your missionânot just trends.
We create content that builds trust, not just clicks.
We optimize everything to ensure long-term growth.
We donât just do marketing.
We build meaningful brands that last.
If thatâs what youâre looking for, comment "ALIGN" below.
I worked a Pride tabling event this weekendâand wow, I didn't realize how much I needed it.
Itâs been years since I was immersed in queer community like that. I used to work Pride events when I was a director at an LGBTQ social services agency, and before that, with a grassroots drag collective. Iâd perform, table, march in parades, party my queer butt off.
But then... I stopped showing up.
Covid played a part. But mostly, after I got laid off from the LGBTQ org, I spiraled into shame. Even though the whole situation was beyond messed up (a story for another day), I just couldnât bring myself to go out. I didnât feel like I belonged anymore.
Tabling on Saturday cracked something open. I was blowing bubbles, chatting with folks, handing out Pride stickers. A little girl came up with her moms and shyly asked if she could take more than one. That small moment, that sweetnessâit reminded me why I do this.
Then this morning, I watched the parade, quietly crying behind my rainbow glasses. I was overwhelmed. Iâd been feeling so lonely, so afraid, so disconnected. But being back in community, surrounded by music, joy, rainbowsâit hit me hard.
And then I saw them: a couple whoâve been in love for 42 years and protesting the entire time. When they marched by, my heart burst open.
This weekend was queer joy. Deep, radiant,
needed queer joy. And Iâm still holding onto it.
What are you doing for queer joy lately?#
The beach is my happy place. It's the place I go when I need to remember the abundance in this world. It's where I go to remember that I am one person out of many connected in this universe. It reminds me that my problems are much smaller than I think they are. And that the world and opportunities are much bigger than I think they are. What is your happy place? Do you have somewhere where you go to help you ground and re-center?
Iâve been a personal growth fanatic for as long as I can remember. As a teenager, I was devouring Wayne Dyer books and diving deep into Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, and Louise Hay.
But hereâs what Iâve learned: personal growth is easiest when life is simple.
During the pandemic, my growth skyrocketed. I was home, still, aloneâa lot. I wasnât working in an office, and after being let go, it took me over six months to land my first freelance client. So I poured everything into my inner work.
And thenâŚthe money ran out. I had to do something.
But so much of our doing can be out of alignment, actually slowing our growth instead of fueling it. Weâve all been conditioned to hustle and grind, but the best spiritual teachers tell us the opposite:
⨠Less is more.
⨠Be still.
⨠Attract instead of chase.
Today, while driving, I revisited The 7 Spiritual Laws of Success and was reminded of how nature reconnects us to our most brilliant, authentic selves. Even in our concrete jungles, we have access to parks, green spaces, and, in my case, the ocean.
So this week, Iâm committing to more intentional stillnessâmore meditation, more BEing. The hustle got me here, but itâs not what will take me to the next level.
⨠Whatâs your favorite way to slow down and reconnect? Let me know in the comments. đ

SOOOO Why is Cher an LGBTQ icon? Honey, it's because she's been there, done that, and got the glittery t-shirt! She's used her platform to fight for equality and visibility, proving that love knows no bounds.
Whether she's rocking the stage or advocating for LGBT rights, Cher's message is clear: be fabulous, be fearless, and never let anyone dim your sparkle. She's not just a pop culture icon; she's a beacon of hope and acceptance, inspiring us all to embrace our true selves and love out loud.
Cher is the ultimate diva and a fierce ally to the LGBT community!
So let's raise a glass (or a glitter bomb) to Cher, the queen who reminds us that being true to ourselves is the greatest show of strength and beauty. Yas, queen!Â
