A Next Chapter by BB Webb We’re all constantly writing ‘next chapters’ to our lives, to our routines through opportunity, inspiration, boredom, or misfortune, forced by death or coaxed by our own desires, ambitions, and curiosity. My last inspired big shift was prompted after a visit to Bozeman, Montana to celebrate my brother’s birthday and [...]
Ambassador of Enlightenment! Our Ambassador of Enlightenment - Tiny Tips of Canine Enlightenment Why might the perspective of my pup, Buddy, hold value to those of us in business? As the former 'Director of First Impressions' has proven, no one was a fonder greeter of our guests at my former business, Carl House. With [...]
Loss is a tricky thing. We don’t like it. We like to have what we have and consider that it’ll never go away…the good things that is…people we love, ‘stuff’ we’ve accumulated, great moods that come our way…. being in shape, having the attentions we crave, perfect hair days!

I opened my business....my Carl House business. Seven years ago there was so much I did not know. Seven years ago I demonstrated 'moving forward as if'....as if I could create whatever my mind imagined, and more.
