A date with a designer

After over 2.5 years of working together, I finally got to meet my web designer, Jo, in person today! Even after all this time we’ve only ever corresponded by email between England and Australia (well, and Instagram and Twitter, you know how it goes…), so to finally be able to sit together and chat was such a treat. It’s thanks to Jo’s mad design skills that I have the zen space you see here today — that and her extraordinary patience when dealing with a client as perfectionistic and particular as me! She is just a lovely as I knew she’d be :)

Remembering Steve

“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” – Steve Jobs

What an amazing man. Thank you for all you have given the world, Steve. I will always always always be an Apple girl.

The Blondie Bear

I really miss him today.
