Y’all! I am in utter AMAZEMENT over here! The site for CREATIVE BIZ Marathon is LIVE, after being dormant for 8 years. I wrote a WHERE ARE THEY NOW post back in 2015! And prior to that I had not posted on the site since the extended MARATHON! But, the other day, I was inspired to take this once AMAZING thing LIVe and then yesterday I was inspired again to purchase the domain again (I lost it at some point) and there it was just sitting there waiting for me. After, I lost it, I tried to buy it back, but another company had purchased and was using the domain. AND just like that, it’s all live again and everything! #onlyjesus Now, as for an UPDATE to WHERE THEY ARE NOW, know ....

It's been more than four years since we gathered in this online space for an around the clock business plan creation . So, I thought I would update you as to the status of the then Creative Biz Marathon Team. We are all still connected in some shape, form or fashion online and thankfully we are all still in flight! I can not begin to share with you what all has occurred in each life. But I know, without a doubt that we've all been on an adventure of wills because that is exactly what life is all about.   As for me, this week I am process of completing a Small Business Master Mind Class at my Bank and next week, we start the 2.0 version of the very same class. To have your banker as a life coach is no thing but a gift and I a thankful beyond measure. So, let's catch up with the original five creative biz flyers ... click on the links below to discover something new about ... Alease Michelle   Kelly Thiel Laura Otero Robin Norgren Sonya M...

Hi Creative Biz Marathoners! I'm checking in to share an update on finding my creative style. It's been nearly a year since I started my art lessons with the lovely Kelly Thiel .  For the past few months, I've been art journaling and practicing as much as I can.  Painting is still new to me...my "art" has always been graphic design and jewelry making.  Like many other creatives, I felt called to sketching and painting.  I'm really, truly enjoying the ride, as Elizabeth would say. Here's a sneak peek at one of my recent paintings.

now that I've gotton my feet wet ... Single Mom of two ... working for HIM 2 inspire you ... so much more to come ... with HIM ... there is always more and I CAN wait for the special more HE has just for me ... WHAT about you ... Can You Wait for HIS very best?

This song was on the radio as we got into the car ... to say goodbuy to Sanbrinia ... my good and new friend from the Congo ... I was super sad to see her go ... but I knew in my heart ... at this very moment ... this was the only means of a true escape ... so YES ... I will dream ANYway Yes ... I will pray ANYway Yes ... I will love ANYway In my mind ... but yet to fall on paper ... I've made some adjustments to my Creative Biz Plan to include a new assignment ... Women's Ministry Cordorniator at my Church . This has been an unspoken dream of mine for many years and I Thank my Father for this opportunity! We are crafting coffee cans for our Sick & Shut Ins and a Love Thy neighbor project! I'm so excited to see just what my GOD can do with a recycled coffee can!

I know, I know ... it's not the 25th of May ... but the 25th of September ... anyway ... just wanted to share my talking head video ... I created the other day for a Marie Forleo contest (with some help of course).
