I am in the midst of a major site overhaul.
I admit, this is something previously I proved highly incompetent at.
But in the spirit of my 100 days - I decided to read a frigging manual and figure this out. I've got on my asbestos underoos and I've signed all the indemnity waivers....
Hope it turns out all right.
In the meantime, I beg patience. And feedback.
Please let me know what you think....
Thank you.

It's looking all very fall like & wonderful on my end. Good luck with the manuals - they all give me headaches.

It's beautiful!
My only suggestion is that I think this pop-up comments window needs a little space on the left side. At first I thought it was being cut off, but now I see that there's just no margin. If you did this whole thing yourself and that's the biggest problem on the entire site, you're doing pretty well!
Also? I loved the post just below this one. I'd comment there, but it looks like comments are turned off.

I love the new Autumn look, Elizabeth. Best of luck with your 100 days of change.
Your previous (commentless) post really resonated with me. Gosh, I miss those friends... and wonder sometimes whether I was the one who didn't make the phone call, or send the card.

I love the new look. It's clean and fresh, just as all new starts should be.

Love, love, love the new look! I especially like seeing your smiling face in the "About" section!

It is all looking very beautiful! A clean uncluttered, streamlined look that is both stylish and very modern.
I would add about 10 more pixels to the border of the comment box but that is all.
I thought of you yesterday. On my subway ride home after having momentarily restled on the phone when my presentation before senior mgt was interupted. I am grateful that my CEO, who overheard the conversation with the school nurse, stepped in and said I should leave without delay. Even though I was grateful for that I had worked so hard for so long that I was dissappointed, frustrated, guilty and saddened. Dissappointed at not being able to show how good I was at my job. Frustrated that yet again I'm prevented from shining in the spotlight as me and not for the mommy me. I felt guilt for being torn and not immediately walking out on the presentation. And saddened that I can't fulfill everyone else's expections of me, especially my own. And more importantly, that I was forced to sacrifice one role for another. I think that's my greatest source of frustration; everytime I have an important meeting or presentation, something happens and I'm forced to rush home.
SO I thought of you, and how lucky you are, not having to divide yourself and being able to pursue your creativity and motherhood in all it's forms.
I wish you many blissful moments of awareness, joy and wonder during these days of change.
