Or even if you weren't thinking of blogging, that you're having the mental space to think...that is actually so rare, and the world (and you!) will be better for having your creativity in it. I can't wait to hear more about what your thinking. Maybe there will be a "pink house moment" this weekend - only I'll be listening to your ideas instead of you listening to mine. Melissa CQC,

There was one about making changes that inspired me and today's entry about starting a blog has motivated me as well. I've been thinking about how to "churn my creativity" too, especially now that I have some mental space to really consider my place in this world. Being a new mom has given me insight into things I never before thought about. Perhaps, I will start blogging simply on that premise: what it's like to see the world as a new mom in 2008. Back to you though, I'm so impressed with your new company and what you've already accomplished in such a short amount of time. I can remember when you were talking about "starting a company" last July @ the Pink House! Keep up the good work! Melis-
