Miss Modish- Mojo Maker

Hello!

...and welcome to the new Miss Modish blog!

I'm a day late because I was laid up yesterday with a hurt back :( but feeling better now and excited to show off the new digs around here! I'll be adding more content and organizational goodies to the sidebar in the coming weeks, but wanted to pop in with a hello for now and let you know what you can expect in this new space.

So the first thing you may notice is that there's no more advertising! I so appreciate all the sponsors I've had over the years- you all helped me create this life of self-employment and kept me motivated to blog everyday and I'm so thankful for that. But now that Miss Modish PR has become my new focus, I've found I just can't keep up with a busy editorial blog any longer. Instead of having guest writers take over the content here, I decided I'd rather scale back and create a more personal space- some breathing room.

So now I'll be posting 2-3 times a week. On Mondays, I'll give you a little dose of mojo to start your week off right- I'll be sharing music, art, words, videos, and other good stuff that makes me think, makes me feel good.

I'll also be posting one longer post per week on life or business and the places where those two intersect. I'll be sharing business advice from my personal experiences, marketing and promotion tips for creative people, I'll talk about the joys and struggles of running a busy business from home and trying to find that elusive place called balance.

I also created the new site with this extra-wide column so I can have extra-large photos so we can take some extra-pretty walks together! And kitty photos are always better bigger, right?

I still come across great artists and designers all the time, but instead of sharing them here, I'll be chatting about them over on twitter or saving them on pinterest, so I'd love for you to stay connected with me there. And speaking of connecting, I bit the bullet and joined facebook finally! Oh won't you be my friend? :)

I've been learning, exploring and growing a lot lately and I'm really excited to share my experiences here with you. I want to stoke some fires of inspiration, offer encouragement or a different perspective when you need it and most of all, start some conversations. I hope you'll all stick around to chat it up with me!

Meet you back here soon,
<3 jena

new digs

Hello! So, I'm still working on a re-design of the blog behind the scenes. I hope to unveil the new digs around here and be back to blogging regularly starting Sept 26th, 2 weeks from now. In the meanwhile, if you notice some wonkiness around here, issues with it loading or anything else, just ignore as it means I'm probably just messing with something on the backend. But all should be in place in a couple weeks!

So until I get things up to snuff and am ready to get back on a roll here again, I thought I'd give you a little peek of my new office in blue! If you'll remember, it was bright yellow with brown trim and was driving me a little batty! But now...

Ahhh...a breath of fresh air! It's seriously so much more conducive to a happy, creative working environment in here now. I feel calm, cool, collected. I meditate in that chair under the window each morning and there's good vibes in here :) And after we painted, we rearranged the whole room, traded out some furniture and it's so much better organized now. I still need a new desk chair and have some more art to go up on the walls, but all in all, it's almost done and I love it in here!

We left one wall yellow in case I need a little dose of sunshine (and cause we weren't about to move that bookcase and all those records again!)

All the animals like it better too- they hang out in here with me allll day :)

Goodbye August

And hello September! I can't believe you're here already!

I'll be back next week to talk about the new features and focus of the blog, and get back in action! In the meantime, hope you have a good labor day weekend and I'll meet you back here Tuesday!

Fall is coming! Are you ready?
