it's the beginning of something great

I set a password when I originally thought of this idea.. the password is Maslow2008.  11 yrs ago! and here we are at the beginning of something great.  Then I was making products and cleaning out closets and having babies and taking care of babies, and a husband, and a special needs sister-in-law, and a mother-in-law, and … so funny.  Before all of that I managed a health food store, taught kickboxing and spin classes, was a personal trainer.  I dabbled in real estate and then decided to go back to school.  I have a BA in Economics and a masters in community and regional planning.  Climbing Maslow is taking care of yourself so you are in the position to take care of others.  We need it.  Self-care with some nature and indulgence.  Look good. Feel good.  Get your hands dirty and then look presentable.  You don't have to get your hands dirty but I will.  The ingredients in the products I sell are part store bought and part from my garden.  This blog post is to let you know, this isn't a passing fad for me.  Connecting to myself, to nature, to art, to you, to community, is what I want to do.  This is me sharing myself with you, with products I enjoy, that make me feel good, that I invent and create, that I think you will appreciate as well.  I don't want to reinvent wheels.  I think sometimes the best things are overlooked for the next or supposed next best thing.  I want to bring us back to some basics.  Simple ingredients.  Simple designs.  The blog is entitled expressions... to express myself to you and hopefully, for you to express yourself to me as well.
