In the grand scheme of things, there are people who have road maps to their lives and there are others, like myself, who need a little help from a GPS system. Join me as I try to figure out my next “career”, maintain the 10+ year relationship with my fantastic partner and try not to embarrass my parents, who still wonder when I am going to put my three Stanford degrees to use.
It’s my life, soup to nuts……plus some really cool design projects thrown in for good measure.
I love talking with people, so feel free to contact me at lifeoutloudmail@gmail.com

Hi, I just found your blog from Emily Henderson’s web site. Let me just say I love your blog! I really enjoyed reading it. I think the design you create is incredible! Thank you so much for inspiring me. I wish you the best and have a wonderful day!
The day you began to live life out loud is the day I came into the world! Too many years ago I had my astrology chart done. I was told that if I did not begin the journey immediately at age 18 I would need to wait for the next cycle to occur in my 50’s. So here it is and now I begin again! Thank you for your comment on the garden, it is my inspiration!
Thank You for Your -Eye Opening Comment about ; “beginning to Live Life Out Loud, It helped to Ground me and Inspire me to Create A BLOG PAGE That Would Be Welcoming to all who would Visit , my Blog.

OK…as an older person who is also a Mom of a young man I am going to jump on your parents’ bandwagon and ask why you haven’t put those 3 Stanford degrees to use, too!!! 🙂 Not to worry…I understand. Although I didn’t earn my degree at Stanford (that’s degree with NO “s” on the end!!!), it took me forever to find my true niche, too. Take your time and find what you truly love….even if it has absolutely nothing to do with the disciplines in which you earned your degrees. Congratulations on the 10+ years with your partner! That takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and biting your tongue! Have a happy weekend!
Courtney! So glad to have found you by way of Centsational Girl (which I also just discovered about a week or so ago). Love, love, love your blog. I signed up for your e-news and will definitely stop by frequently and invite my friends/family to do so as well. Kiss-kiss! ~R
Hi Courtney,
I have been following your blog for most of the year now and I think you are fabulous!! I think you are so versatile and I love your no-nonsense posts. :). Keep it up! I am always looking forward to the email notifications letting me know there’s a new post from you. I would be extremely flattered if you took a look at my still-wet-behind-the-ears blog. Any tips for me would be awesome!
Thanks,
Abigail
