Hey everyone! Gosh, it's been a while since I've shared, hasn't it? I apologize about that. I thought I would hop on today and just share a quick peek at what I've been up to. Some recent updates were made to some client websites I've been working on this past year. My lovely client Laureanne Artisanal Pastries had some gorgeous photography done by Kirsten from Trinity Design Photography. They're live and stunning! If you want to taste some of Laureanne's delicious treats, you can order on her website (www.laureanne.ca) or check her out Durham Filipino Fest this Saturday. My other amazing client MOVE By Tracey McDonald had a wonderful experience with Brand Ambition and the beautiful results are live on the website right now! www.movebytraceymcdonald.ca

How beautiful are these photos by Trinity Design Photography ? Stay tuned for when we add them to Laureanne's website and go and show this new local business some love on their facebook page, you're going to want to place an order, I have! Laureanne Artisanal Pastries Visit www.laureanne.ca to get some delicious goodies.

How big of a role do your values have in your business? Have you taken the time to determine what your values are? Whether your not sure if you should take on that new project or you're struggling with what to post online, your values can help you filter out what should be a "yes" and what should be a "no". They bring clarity to your vision and to the details of your work. One of the things I value in my life is my faith and my relationship with God. I'm eager to learn how I ...can infuse it into my work in an authentic way. That's why I was super thrilled to learn about the Minding HIS Business summit coming up on April 30th and was quick to jump on board and help out with the event. This is something I 100% value. It's awesome to be connecting with some of the wonderful people involved in the Minding HIS Business summit and I can't wait to hear from more amazing women on at AJAX CONVENTION CENTRE Come join us! The Minding HIS Business Summit will also be supporting a charity near to my heart SafeHope Home Register at: www.mindinghisbusiness.co
