Hello Campers! Our first month of Camp OMHG whizzed by as we buckled down to learn and refresh our basic biz survival skills. This month we are taking those essential tools and heading out beyond ‘where there be dragons’ to chart our own path as creative entrepreneurs. July is all about adventuring, leadership, exploration, failure, and courage-just like entrepreneurship…

Three years ago today I hit publish on my very first OMHG post and stepped off the edge of the world as I knew it into a whirlwind adventure. Like any grand exploration along with the triumphs and oh so many joys there have been some truly scary moments and decisions, heartbreaks, and facing of fears. Our community has grown together over the years as we’ve seen births, deaths, moves, historic world events, and all the daily workings of life + business together. Getting to witness the courage and kindness of creatives all over the world and see the friendships growing here is the greatest privilege. I have never felt so supported and loved in all my life, OMHG has become my home, my community, and in many ways my family.  Thank you to every single one of you for helping to create this magical place where unicorns and cupcakes go hand in hand with true friendship and support. I hope that every time you visit here you leave sparkling with the same feeling of community and welcome!

Our new Aeolidia site and community forums are going to make the next 3 years even more magical. In under 2 months since our forum launch we’ve written over 2500 replies to each other, collaborated on projects & posts, met up in person in cities all over North America-and this is only the beginning!  To celebrate 3 years of OMHG community building I’d love to invite you to spend the next year adventuring with us, just click here or the image below to come join us and be welcomed in:

Blow up some balloons, toss about some confetti & join the party in the forums or comments. Has OMHG helped you on your business adventure already? I would love to hear your stories!

Care/Carry/Cure an essay from ‘You Care Too Much’

In June of 2016 I supported my love Chris as we dealt with the death of both his parents and a co-worker over a three week period. This essay written the summer of those deaths is my attempt to make sense of grief and the struggle to carry all that I care for. Originally published […]
