I finally got my headshots done with Cristal Vancarson today and, she is magic! On her Skool community @Karin Crawford said, “Great photography. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 @𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗺 𝗠𝗰𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴!! Genius!” and that pretty much sums it up! To put this in context, in the 52 years I have been on this earth, there has not ever been one photo of me that I am happy to post online. That's why up until now my current social profile image is an AI avatar of me. I thought I would pose a challenge with my dodgy squinty eye which seems to know exactly when a camera is pointed at at, and my elusive smile that normally looks like I'm constipated but she knows all the tricks in the book, and you just can’t NOT smile when in the presence of @Cristal Vancarson . So here is real, human me! I'm so pleased with my photos and she turned an event I was dreading doing and kept putting off into the highlight of my day. 🥰 Thank you so much for making it sooo fun, AND I even got a bonus portrait of me with my daughter that’s definitely going on the wall. When I said that to Cristal she said, “There is NO greater HONOR than for me to have a picture on the WALL in my client’s home.” You can tell she genuinely cares about the people she photographs. What I loved most is that this whole thing was done remotely from home, between my other calls, and was all wrapped up in around 40 minutes. No awkward standing around wondering what to do with your hands. Just a proper live session with someone who knows exactly how to bring the best out of people. She was also brilliant with my daughter. They say never work with kids or animals but Cristal orchestrated then both effortlessly! That is what Cristal does so well. She does not just take a photo. She catches a moment. She makes you relax. She makes it fun. And somehow she makes the whole thing feel easy, even when you thought you were going to hate every second of it.

Yuki is so proud of her little kittens. 😸 Nearly 3 weeks old now. They've got their eyes open and you're just starting to see their individual little personalities shine through.

Yes, seriously! And not a business lesson in sight. I'm genuinely interested to know If there are any other normal non-restaurant based families out there that have a similar cutlery drawer situation. I'd love to know what the "cutlery draw normal" is, because for some reason this has been our normal for the last 30 years. 😂 Let's lighten up each other's days and post pictures of top kitchen drawers right now. 🍴🥄 I bet some of you have some really fancy big organised drawers that I'd love to use for inspiration when we eventually get round to doing up our kitchen.

Congrats on 300 members @Adam McCollough !!!

Good morning! Personally, I love Mondays! Don't get me wrong, I love the weekends too, which are normally strictly reserved for my family and friends (When we don't have a community to launch), I just love having a full 5 days ahead where I can build stuff and make things happen. Don't feel bad if you're in the hate Mondays club. In fact, feel EXCITED because you've made the first step and you're in the perfect place to change that! Our mission is to help you discover that one thing that you literally can't wait to jump out of bed to get started on. (Even if that one thing is sitting around a pool sipping on a piña colada.) If that's what you want, we're here to help you get that. My Monday always starts with 90 minutes in the gym which is where I am right now writing this between sets. This little bit of 'me time' not only helps keep me fit and trim, But it also gives me some time to think and to figure out the priorities of the day. (The things that will really move my dreams forward) I'd love to know how you lot start your week.. Do you love Monday mornings yet?
