We all have a reason. Sometimes it’s practical. Sometimes it’s personal. Sometimes it’s deeply emotional. So I’m curious… 👇 What’s the biggest reason behind what you do right now?

So people who know me on Skool know me for crochet, but I am somewhat of a hobby collector. I love to make things with my hands. I've sewn, done watercolour & draw, and yes, I do crochet. But my favourite hobby is weaving. There's something about all the stages and steps, planning and preparing the loom before ever getting to see what the fabric might look like that speaks to my soul. I've had my loom for about 11 years now. When I started, I was making mostly baby wrap carriers and the occasional scarf. But from the very beginning, on my bucket list was making Christmas Stockings for my family. It always seemed to end up on the back burner. When I was weaving everyday, there were always projects that seemed to take priority. Wraps I was selling, shawl's for my sibling's weddings. And then life shifted. I didn't touch my loom for 3 years. With busyness of motherhood and other things, I just found it harder to sit down and weave. It takes so much time just to get the warp onto the loom, so getting to the point of weaving didn't happen. The loom corner slowly built up into a "storage" corner. But in 2024, I decided that I really needed to do that bucket list thing, and make my dream stockings for my family. Of course, me being me, I didn't just want to weave the fabric, cut out two pieces and sew those together. I wanted handwoven, quilted stockings. It was challenging. But oh, so rewarding! I love these stockings, and seeing them hanging on our rail instead of the dollar store ones we had for years makes me so happy. The next bucket list item is a matching tree skirt to finish for next year! (I've already got all the fabric made, I just need to finish the sewing)

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that if someone is sending you unwanted DMs with spam, please let me know! I will happily remove them from the group to stop others from having to deal with that. I do have it set so that someone has to be at level 2 or higher to DM someone to help prevent this, please let me know if you feel I should raise the level for this ability to DM. Sometimes they might sneak through or you both might be in another group that's a bit more relaxed about that. You will have to block them yourself to stop more messages though. (Thanks Jenna for the inspiration and some of the wording of this message - I love hanging out in a community that is thoughtful to their members.)

This stunning shot was captured by my hubby, Scott while we were exploring New Zealand with a group of business owners…moments like this make me smile. Who says business has to look like boardrooms and fluorescent lights? Sometimes it looks like wandering through botanical gardens - crossing red bridge and discovering colour you didn’t even know existed. Enjoying the company of business owners as you talk dreams and possibilities with people from across the world This is what I love about our business community —we learn, we grow, and sometimes… we end up in places this beautiful together. 💭 If business could take you anywhere, where would you love to explore?

Sometimes in my passion for helping others, I realise that I may come across a little preachy... After spending time with very passionate business owners over the past week, I noticed this aspect of "telling people what to do" - a little more. I totally get that my passion for breakthrough and results could come across this way. Finding that sweet spot of helping others without "telling others what to do" is where it is at for me. Let’s settle this once and for all…When someone tries to “tell you what to do,” you are:
