The comments had the same general theme along the lines of … the breakup sounds like it went okay for you Alexis, but what about your kids?  How are they doing with it?

So I thought I would share more about that because it seems to reflect an important and fundamental misunderstanding about children and relationships, one I used to carry with me as well.

The sentiment I feel behind these questions is that we must be careful with who we bring into our children’s lives and when because children are fragile creatures we must protect from the heartache and loss of relationships ending.

I used to believe that too.

When I first got divorced, I wondered how to handle dating.

I was told to be very careful regarding the people I dated and when I introduced them to my children.  The common sentiment was that I should wait until I was really serious with someone before introducing them to the kids or perhaps even wait a year or more to begin dating after my divorce.

But I thought it through and realized that advice made absolutely no sense to me.  I was not protecting my children from meeting friends even though they would come and go throughout my life, so why would I protect them from meeting someone I was dating?

Now that I have had my own experience with divorce, dating and kids, I flat out reject all of the advice that says to wait.  I understand it is well-meaning and good intentioned, but it is simply based on a broken paradigm.

Relationships, by their nature, are transitory.  People come and go throughout our lives.  We evolve, shift, change, die.  Why do we want to set our children up with the false belief that relies on some concept of forever when it is simply not true in all but very, very, very few of the cases.

It seems to me that we are raising our children to believe in a lie because we wish it to be so.  But it’s nothing more than magical thinking when we look at the reality of how life really is.

Friends, relatives, co-workers, colleagues, partners, boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, wives … they come and go.  It’s all constantly shifting and changing.  At least in my life it is.  Perhaps your life is different.

So why in the world would we want to teach our children that it is not okay to have transitory, shifting, ever evolving relationships?

I love that my children have had a steady stream of people come and go throughout their lives.

My kids know they have a core group of people who are there for them now and will likely be there for them forever -

• me and their dad,
• Tyson (who happens to be the first man I dated after my divorce and while we have not been in romantic relationship for more than 5 years is now running the Sacred Earth Retreat at Ali’s Farm and helping me care for the kids),
• Martha (my best friend who moved away from California to come to Colorado 5 years ago and is now back in our lives and lives two houses down),
• JoAnne (my other best friend who has been in and out of our lives for 10 years),
• my sister,
• my mom,
• my stepmom Amy (who is still very much a part of our lives even though my dad died nearly 6 years ago),
• my grandma.

But even we will all be gone one day.

I raise my children in community.  People are constantly coming and going throughout their lives.  And from what I can tell, they do not see it as a problem, something to be afraid about, or anything other than the way it is.  It’s their normal.

I’m grateful to be raising my children with this healthy awareness of reality rather than a conditioned belief of the way it should be simply because we wish it was so.

I appreciate your concern about the well-being of my children within the context of these old patterns and beliefs and invite you to create another reality … one in which we do not need to associate the transition of relationship with painful loss, heartbreak, and trauma to ourselves or our children.

Instead, let’s create a new paradigm in which we can live in the truth of the moment and trust our relationships to express what is real and true on a moment by moment basis.

Let’s teach our children that it is okay to have relationships of any and every length and we do not need to hold on or experience trauma, loss or feel abandoned as these relationships transition and evolve.

Let’s teach our children to set themselves free.

Let’s teach that to ourselves first.

Have any thoughts about this? Think I am missing something important? Agree or disagree?  I welcome your comments below.

Often, I’m constantly in motion – traveling here and there, doing business, having fun and being out there.

But for the last few months, I’ve come within.  Home.  Money Map.  Kids. Family. Local community.  Friends.  Team.

As this trip to Los Angeles was approaching, I began to feel extremely stressed about the idea of re-emerging and stepping into a photo shoot.  That’s not normal for me.  There’s little I love more than a camera pointed in my direction.

But as the days came closer, I just kept feeling more and more resistance.  So I called my wonderful photographer, Christina Morassi, and canceled the shoot.

This video lets you in on why.

{I was really considering not publishing this video because it’s so behind the scenes, but that discomfort is what told me I had to do it – you need to see this because this is what it’s really like sometimes and I so want you to know what it’s really like and not be misled into thinking life and business is always pretty for some people – it’s really not.}

I use work in quotes here because I really do mean both aspects of work, the inner work of the emotional upset and the outer work of putting your Great Work into service.

I know many of my clients struggle with this … staying in service to the outer work when the inner work is raging.  And it’s one of the things I’m best able to help them with because I’ve dealt with it so much in my own life.

I’ve experienced a lot of turmoil over the years.  Inner conflict, outer conflict.  And I’ve worked through all of it.

It first became a big issue for me when I was going through my divorce while at the same time building my law firm.

I found that back then I could use work as an escape from the emotional upset.  The more he triggered me, the more I focused my energy and attention on work.

To do that, I numbed out.  I didn’t feel the feelings that were coming up. I avoided them.

Now that I am becoming more and more in touch with my emotional body, I am finding it more difficult to focus on work when I am experiencing conflict or emotional upset.

Putting my head down and focusing on work doesn’t seem to work anymore.

I’m supposed to be writing copy. Lots of copy. Copy for the big call I’m hosting on 12/31 about building a business around your Great Work, copy for my new Eyes Wide Open Action Guide, copy for my next Powerful Feminine Leader group, copy, copy, copy and I find myself unable to focus due to some emotional stuff I’m working through.

Where I used to become MORE focused on work around emotional upset and conflict, now I find myself less creative, less able (or willing) to push through.

My mind tells me this is a problem. “Danger, danger … this is why I’ve helped you with the numbness.  Why’d you have to go screw it all up by dropping our defenses?”  it yells at me.

My body says “go take a bath and relax.”  There will be plenty of time to write later.  Take some time to feel your sadness, be with it, bring tenderness to it.  See what happens when you do that.  Maybe your writing will be even better and come even more easily.

So that’s what I’m going to do. Even though my mind says to push through like I’ve always done and get back to work.

I’m going to take some time for the inner work and trust it’ll enhance how I’m able to bring my Great Work to the world.

So what about you?

How do you “work” through conflict and emotional upset?  I’d love to hear.

One of my favorite things in the world is to read.  So, while in Peru and my 24 hours of travel to and fro, I read quite a few books on my Kindle (I actually got the global version, of the Kindle,  so I could get my subscriptions internationally.)

Here’s a list:

The Long Run by Matt Long – an inspiring book by a NY Firefighter who was hit by a bus during a NYC transit strike about the accident and his recovery.

Get Off Your “But”: How to End Self-Sabotage and Stand Up For Yourself by Sean Stephenson – a motivating book about how to show up in the world and take action no matter what your circumstances are.

Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman – a spiritual saga about awakening to a new reality.

No Angel: My Harrowing Undercover Journey to the Inner Circle of the Hells Angels by Jay Dobyns – I’ve used to love reading true crime stories and I love all sorts of memoirs, so this was just the right combo of brain candy for me.

Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption by Lauren Hillenbrand – I love epic novels, but I’m not usually a fan of war books.  This one, about the story of Louis Zamperini, pulled me in immediately though (I always download a sample to my Kindle first and if I read it and love it, I download the full book.)  And I was most impressed by the fact that the author wrote the book while experiencing massive Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  Inspirational all around.

Producer: Lessons Shared from 30 Years in Television by Wendy Walker – written by the producer of the Larry King Live show, for some reason, I didn’t expect this book to be as good as it was.  I thought I’d get some insights about working in television and maybe having my own show, but it was far more than that.  I recommend anyone who works for someone else (especially if you work for me!) read this book.  It’s a phenomenal look at how to get ahead, get shit done, and have a truly fulfilling career and life, even without having your own business.  And, as an employer, it inspired me to find the right people and let go even more.

Personal Development for Smart People by Steve Pavlina – Steve really breaks down the path of personal growth.  This is the one book out of the one’s listed here that I have not yet finished, but so far very good.

Amazing Grace: The Nine Principles of Living in Natural Magic by David Wolfe and Nick Good – since I was on tour in Peru with David Wolfe, I picked one of his books to read and I’m so glad it was this one.  A great overview of his work, I am more inspired than ever to live my BEST LIFE EVER and have more tools on exactly how to do that.

Wow, that’s a lot of books!

If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you can see the quotes I’ve pulled out of each book and post as I read – another super cool feature of the new Kindle.

Besides these books, I also started reading Keith Richards book Life, but didn’t really get into it.  And I kept up with my subscriptions to Inc. and Salon on the Kindle.

And because I was so thrilled with my Kindle, I decided to discount my own book Wear Clean Underwear on Kindle to only $.99 through the holiday season.  So, if you are a mom or dad and you want to learn how to make the right legal planning decisions for your children, get Wear Clean Underwear on Kindle now.

So you can see why I love the Kindle.  If you don’t have one, put it on your holiday wishlist for sure — or get one for the reader you love.

In the weeks before his death, I struggled with when to leave my home in California and get to Florida to see him.

If you’ve ever had someone close to you dying far away, you know this struggle.

You don’t want to go so soon that you get there and have to get back to work and kids before your loved one passes.

And at the same time, you don’t want to wait so long that you miss being there at the end.

As a mom of two young children and a very needy bricks and mortar business to run, I was torn.

When to go?

In the middle of the night I was scheduled to fly out, the phone rang.

As soon as I heard it, I knew. He was either gone or would be soon.

I jumped out of bed to answer the phone and my sister and stepmom were on the other end letting me know, he was going without me.

I wouldn’t make it in time to see him.

I think he knew I was coming the next day and didn’t want me to see him at the very end, a mere shadow of himself.

We were resolved; had said the things there were to say; had talked on the phone nearly every day before he got too sick for that.

I knew he loved me and he knew I loved him.

And he chose to go before I got there.

Thanks Dad. You were always my hero. In life as in death.

I love you.

If you love something, set it free.  If it comes back to you, it’s yours.

God, I believe in that.  Oh yes, down to the bottom of my toes, I believe in it.

I’ve even experienced it in my own life.  A lot.  5 years ago, I set my husband free (and a whole house full of stuff I loved) and now 5 years later, it’s all back.

In case you are new here, I moved to Colorado at the beginning of January and my ex-husband moved with me.  He’s living with me and the kids.  And that meant all his stuff came too.  And his stuff was my stuff that I left behind when I moved out 5 years ago.  Seeing it again was trippy and fun.

So I KNOW it’s true.  I’ve experienced it.

And yet, it still comes up for me.  I want to hold on to what I love.  Grasp it tight.  Squeeze it to me and never let go.  And definitely never share it with anyone else.

Fortunately these days, I can recognize it.  Become aware of it.  And not emotionally react to it.

Once I see the pattern I can make a choice of how to be.

Like right now it’s coming up for me about a gal I absolutely adore.  Chelsea Moser.  I love her. She’s my protegee (two things about that: 1) I feel totally and completely pretentious saying that and yet it is how I feel and I hope she is not weirded out by that and 2) the dictionary said that you spell the woman version of protege with two “e”s, thus the two “e”s).

And suddenly Chelsea’s working with all these other women in the online world.  Andrea Lee.  Tina Forsyth. Ciara Daykin. And then I heard she was talking with Sarah Robinson the other day; so she could be next.

Let me say this before I say anything else – each of these women is a woman I adore, support, honor, respect, trust, work with, and believe in to the depths of my soul.

And yet, I want to hoard Chelsea.  Seeing her work with all these other amazing women makes me scared.  Maybe if she sees how amazing they are, she won’t want to work with me anymore.  Maybe she’ll stop having time for my projects.

But, I won’t let those patterned fear thoughts run my life.  Instead, I will recognize the pattern and break it by:

1. Talking about it here (even though this is really, really, really, REALLY hard for me to do)

and

2. Trusting that Chelsea will work with me if that serves her life and if it doesn’t, she won’t. Trust that everything is always unfolding exactly as it should for my highest good and the evolution of my soul.  And trust that I will always have everything I need (not necessarily everything I want) and I never need to hoard or hold on to anything too tightly.

Yes, when I remember that, I can breathe and relax and be.  It feels good.

In my experience, the saying should go a little differently … it’s not about what comes back to you.

If you love something, someone, some …, set it free.
And then you will be free too.

In the end, it’s about your own freedom really.

Within recent months, it has all started to become more clear than ever before.

I recently began working with Tim Kelley, author of the book “True Purpose”. What’s interesting is I thought I had already found my life purpose and was doing it.

And yet, I felt drawn to Tim’s work.  What I now see is that his work is taking me to another, much deeper level of my purpose.

I can now see that every single thing that has ever happened in my life, both those things I deemed to be “good” and those things I deemed to be “bad”, all happened to prepare me to fulfill my purpose as I now understand it in this moment.

Suddenly, it all makes sense.

There was a part of me that always knew this day was coming and I would occasionally catch enough of a glimpse of the future to know it was possible that one day I would really and truly get how everything fit together.

I’m grateful that it’s finally here.

Years of frustration, wonder, worry, uncertainty and fear have evaporated.  There are still threads left, but 90% of the concern has disappeared from my awareness.

Ok, so now I’m going to tell you what I now understand to be my purpose, even though I feel slightly embarrassed when I write it out like this.

I am here to shine the light into the dark corners of your business and your life with absolute and total love, acceptance and support.

I make the hard things easier.

Specifically, at this moment in time, I am focusing this purpose around business by helping people take a look at the things we all avoid because they are hard – the difficult conversations, the business of your business, the financials, the legal stuff, the employee stuff, the partnership stuff, the pending business break-up.

You know, the hard parts of being a business owner.  The stuff I can’t stand either.  Office politics, drama, conflict.  Ick.

I take the ick out and help you to discover how whatever is happening in your business is your greatest opportunity for growth.

You really want to be a conscious business owner?  For real?

Then, you’ve got to open your eyes, wake up to the truth.  Shine the light into the darkness.  The part you’ve been avoiding because it’s too hard, painful, difficult, embarrassing, shameful, guilt-ful, to look at.

When you are willing to open your eyes and shine the light into the dark corners, you will naturally run your business from a more expanded and enlightened perspective.

It’s hard to be enlightened and aware with your eyes closed and the lights off, right?

Decisions become much easier. You no longer worry about getting taken advantage of or what’s real and what’s not.  When you can see, you know.

Boundaries are easily established and conflicts are handled with an open heart.

Wow, it feels great to finally get all this.  These, of course, are my personal greatest life lessons so far.

6 years ago, I was attending a workshop held by one of my early coaches.  Scott had brought in a purpose expert named Kevin M McCarthy, author of the On Purpose Person.  And he walked us through a process to help us discover our own purpose.

What came through to me back then made no sense in the context of my life at the time.  I had just started my own law firm.  I was committed to being a lawyer.  Helping my clients.  Making a difference in their lives.

But, when I did Kevin’s process, I discovered my purpose was to “Shine the Light?!?”  Huh?

WTF?

I was a lawyer.  I didn’t know how to shine no stinkin’ light.  What was I supposed to do with that?  Shine the light?!? Um, ok.

But, there was a part of me that knew that was it and one day I’d figure out what it meant.

For the past 6 years, I’ve continued to put one foot in front of the other, learning how to move with my energy and get out of my own way.  It’s been a learning process for sure.  But, each step fo the way I trusted that if I just kept asking the right questions and moving forward, I’d one day get it.

And now I do.

Are you ready to know it too?  I know you are.  And you know you want it.

To begin, start to ask yourself what you’ve been avoiding.  What are the conversations you’ve had in your head, but you have held back from having with the person they really need to be with?  What are the things you know you need to do in your business, but haven’t done because they seem too hard?

Make a list of those things.  Bring them to awareness.  That’s all you have to do now.  It’s the first step and in some ways the most difficult.

You know how it is when you see someone every day and they look the same to you from one day to the next, but then you are apart for a week and suddenly the next time you see them, you notice they’ve grown or aged or lost weight or gained weight?

We are a lot like that with ourselves.  It’s hard to tell from one day or month or year to the next how much progress we are making.  And most of us are so focused on how far we have to go that we completely lose sight of how far we’ve come.

One of the best parts about blogging is being able to look back and become aware of the evolution.

Tonight, as I write this blog post on the eve of Thanksgiving, I’ve done just that.  I vaguely recalled being in a different emotional space last Thanksgiving, but couldn’t remember exactly what that space was.  Looking back to my blog post from last Thanksgiving, the emotions of where I was then have come flooding back in.

And along with them the awareness that a major shift has happened in my own consciousness regarding gratitude.  A shift that you can make here and now without waiting another year.

Last year, I didn’t know how to be grateful for EVERYthing.  My gratitude was conditional on the “good” things.  I even shared a gratitude exercise that helped me connect with all the good things happening in my life.

Here’s the big, exciting shift … you can be in extreme, deep gratitude even (especially) for the experiences you are having in your life that no one would call good.  And that’s something huge to realize as we move through a global shift that is impacting the economy, our weather patterns, and our old traditions.

With this shift is coming a lot of experiences that no one would call good – economic collapse of families, increase in bankruptcies, foreclosures, divorces, and a loss of jobs across the board.

What I’ve discovered is that it’s possible to find gratitude, even in these things.  And that’s where the real power is in your business and your life.

When you can find the gratitude even in the tragedy,  the heartache, and the pain, you have freedom.

So many of us claim freedom as one of our highest values and yet we are seeking it through on the exact things that will keep us in bondage.  More money, more time, more, more, more …

More is not where freedom comes from at all.  Freedom has nothing to do with the external circumstances of time, money or our work.

Freedom comes when you can be truly, deeply grateful for whatever is happening in your life right now.  Whatever is happening.  All. of. it.

To show you how serious I am about this.  Here are a few things I’m grateful for this year that I might not have been before I understand that gratitude for EVERYthing is the secret to true freedom.

The summer before last, my ex-husband got a DUI.  With our kids in the car.  You would think I’d be pissed, right?  Actually, I was grateful. GRATEFUL?!?  What?  You might be thinking (or even saying right now).

But, really I was.

For the 6 months before the DUI happened, I had been wondering fairly consistently “should I try to take full custody of the kids?” I really, really, really didn’t want to have to go there.  I knew it could mean a protracted court battle and I wasn’t willing to subject my kids to that. Plus, I wanted them to have a relationship with their dad.  And, frankly, I was working a lot and having them with him half the time worked for me from a business perspective. (It’s hard to admit that last part, but it is true).

I had been in Orlando teaching Personal Family Lawyers for a few days and flew to Virginia to speak to another group of lawyers about building a law business on a new model.  When I landed that morning, there was a message from my sister-in-law telling me everything was okay, but to call her as soon as possible.

That’s never a good sign.

When I called, she let me know that she had my kids.  My ex-husband (her brother) had been arrested for DUI with the kids in the car.

After I got over the initial shock, I felt an odd sense of calm.  My question had been answered.  I would have full custody of the kids and there would be no custody fight.  I didn’t know what else would happen.  But, I did know that.  And I was grateful.

As a result of my gratitude, I was able to respond to the situation in a way that resulted in the near complete healing of my relationship with my ex-husband.

Had I not been able to see the blessing in the situation, I would have been outraged, enraged, and in rage.  The ramifications of that would have been enormous for my family.  Perhaps my children would have been alienated from their dad.  Maybe he would have made it difficult for me to obtain custody of the kids.  Whatever it would have been, it would have been painful.

But, it wasn’t painful. Well, it’s been painful for my ex-husband.  He lost his license and his house and has been staying in a room above my garage while he gets back on his feet.  Even in that though, there’s freedom.

He’s finally found his passion and begun pursuing it.  He no longer feels as if he can’t be truthful or hide what he really wants.  We can have the hard conversations without too much drama.  And, of course, the kids absolutely love having him around.

So, that’s one thing.

Another thing like that is the circumstances that led to me closing my law firm.  My firm generated more than a million bucks in 2006 and 2007.  In 2008, I sold the firm to another lawyer so I could focus my attention on helping more people.

I sold it with the belief that he would take great care of my clients at the standards I had created and continue to build upon the foundation I had laid.

That’s not what happened though.

Within a few months, I began to see signs that he wasn’t handling things the way I did or would have.  I tried to ignore them and pretend it would get better.  It didn’t.  Within 6 months, he had stopped paying the bills.

It had been nearly a year since I’d seen new private clients, the firm had brought in nearly $700,000 for the year anyway, and I had to decide whether to come back in and take the reins at the firm again or close it down.

I decided to close it down and arrange for the Los Angeles area Personal Family Lawyers to service the ongoing needs of my clients.   An extremely painful, difficult decision to make.

That firm was my baby.  I had painstakingly designed the office.  Invested my heart and soul into it.  And it was still making great money.

But, I couldn’t trust that it would be run to the standards I set and so I had to let it go.  It cost me nearly three hundred thousand dollars to do it, not even counting the lost income I would have made if I would have kept the firm in the first place or kept it going.

What’s to be grateful for in that?

So much, it turns out.

As a result of my own experiences with building my law firm, selling it, and then closing it down, I learned a tremendous amount about the right way to set up a business and the wrong way, I got to see what it is that actually puts businesses out of business, and I gained confidence by seeing how hard it actually is to get to the point where a business cannot continue.

I also learned firsthand how important it is for entrepreneurs (especially those of us who identify as creative entrepreneurs) to understand legal, insurance, financial and tax issues.

It’s more than a little embarrassing that I had so many problems in these areas considering I’m a lawyer and I felt as if these were things I “should” have known about.

But I didn’t.  And my lack of knowledge cost me dearly.

And yet, I’m tremendously grateful for it because as a result I decided to learn everything I possibly could about legal, insurance, financial and tax and put all of that knowledge into a system for other entrepreneurs who, like me, are not good at those sorts of things.

This January, after nearly 9 months of intense effort, we will finally launch my LIFT Foundation System for business owners who are tired of wondering whether they have a solid foundation under their business, want to be able to count on their business surviving for the long haul no matter what happens, and are ready to cut through all the legal mumbo jumbo, hard pressure insurance and financial sales and want the straight truth on what is really needed to build a business the right way.

I never would have put this together had I not experienced a lawsuit myself without the proper insurance in place to cover it or made the mistakes I did when I sold my business.  Sure, I could beat myself up for those errors.   That would be normal, right?

But, I choose to be abnormal.  Instead, I’m grateful for these hard knocks.  Yes, they cost me a lot of money, but they taught me far more.  And now I get to teach it to you.

And to me, that’s what life’s all about folks.

This Thanksgiving season, do everything you can to find the blessing in each and everyone of the hardships you’ve experienced this year, this decade or this lifetime.

Write em’ down, thank God for them, and ask yourself how you can share the gift you’ve received from that challenging time in your life to make the world a better place.

Namaste.

I had just graduated law school was newly married and despite living where I grew up, really didn’t have any “in real life” friends.  The few friends I did have in high school were long gone.  And, at only 25, no one else I knew was pregnant yet.

So, I made friends online.

It was perfect.  I had spent the summer as a summer associate being wined and dined by one of the biggest law firms in the world.  I didn’t really have that much work and spent all day in my office surfing the internet researching anything to do with pregnancy and babies.

I stumbled across the November 1999 Moms Email group on Yahoo! Groups or it may have been somewhere else and we migrated over to Yahoo! after a big brouhaha within our original group regarding breastfeeding/formula or maybe it was cry it out/family bed.

Either way, I made my very first group of mommy friends and these amazing women supported me through my pregnancy and the first few years of mom life.  I don’t know what I would have done without them.

In my real life, I was so lonely it was painful. After my clerkship in Miami, I moved to California, away from my family, to start my prestigious full time job as an associate at a big law firm.

I was only 26 years old and from the outside it appeared all my dreams had come true – husband, baby, prestigious job, 6-figure paycheck, etc. …  But, I was so miserable.

My daughter who was just turning 1 cried constantly when I was at work.  My husband was staying home to take care of her and for part of the time his mother (who was dying of cancer) lived with us. I was the only new mom among my law firm colleagues and my husband had very little desire to make any mommy friends.

I felt so alone.  If it wasn’t for my online friends, especially the November 1999 Moms Like Me, I don’t know what I would have done.

Happy Birthday Ladies – each one of you has more than a little credit for the mom I am to Kaia and Noah today.  I love you.

I believe my blog readers are the most intelligent, creative and business-savvy people on the web.

For that reason, I’m asking you to help me make an “executive decision” and choose a logo for my latest venture—LIFT.

• LIFT stands for Legal, Insurance, Financial and Tax. And the LIFT program will help micro business owners get excited about building their business with a LIFT Foundation.

• Millions of small business owners each year lose money or face serious setbacks in their businesses because of lawsuits, conflicts, audits, bookkeeping issues, unnecessary tax bills and having the wrong type and amount of insurance in place.

• Lack of knowledge about these issues personally cost me nearly $750,000.  Combine that with my law school and undergraduate education and I’ve got a million dollar education to share with you about these topics.

I’m really excited about the launch of LIFT, but of course I can go no further until this logo is chosen.

So here are your choices below (double- click on the image to enlarge it if you’re having a hard time viewing the designs):

Please leave me a comment letting me know your preferred font choice (each column has it’s own font) as well as your preferred color scheme (each row has it’s own color). Also, and this is very important, please let me know whether you are a current business owner or an aspiring business owner. And, of course, if you have any other thoughts/feelings, please let me know that too.

Based on your feedback I’ll make my final decision!  Thank you so much in advance.  I can’t wait to hear what you think.
