Hey, all.
Been spending my days focusing on developing the new website and business for Velour lately, but I have a few other personal projects up my sleeve as well.
One of the biggest projects I am excited about is a new blog I am starting, “Scene Sister.” Focusing on urban-life in Utah, my new blog will give me a place to post all those crazy music links, food reviews, photos of cool things I find, interviews with local business owners and artists I want to feature and you know…all those things most of my friends don’t care as much about but I like to flaunt around. Although I will try to maintain this blog…I doubt it will happen. As many of you know, I make a living doing things freelance-style, and blogging is another supplement to how I will be operating myself and my business. It’s time I start learning how to market myself and the networks of people I have built up, and find ways to support our community the ways I see fit, instead of getting pissed when others don’t do it justice.
Right now I am building up content and working with a few different artists to come up with the look and feel of the site…and so far I am SO pumped on it! (Picture a drawing of my afro’d silhouette as the icon!) It’s been many years and many roads leading me here but I really feel like this is an opportunity I can’t pass up taking the time to invest in. I would so love your support getting the word out about Scene Sister when the time comes, and I hope we can continue or discussions about love and life on our personal blogs.
To help me keep my reading centralized, would you mind adding scenesister at gmail.com to your reader list? (for those who have private blogs) I will maintain a new Google Reader so that I can see all of your beautiful faces there.
And it’s not much yet, but I could use your help: if you head over to www.scenesister.com, mark yourself as a “follower” …that would just make my day. If I have some followers already lined up before my public launch, it will make me look just super model-ish! Plus, I could use you early followers as guinea pigs! Fun!?! Right?!
You, my friends, are the best. I love you so much. Thank you for your support throughout the years while I have been discovering my Bohemian self and seeking out ways to make a living doing the things I love and supporting the people I believe in.
XOXO

(and I will give a heads up when it’s time for the public release of Scene Sister!)
