Where Did October Go?

Let's cut to the chase. The biggest news bulletins in my life:

• November is going to rock. I'll be done juggling both of these jobs and will be ready to take on the challenges of full time ministry. I can't wait. I'm sad, really sad, to be leaving the Cleft Palate Institute, but it's for the best (for them and me).
  
• I suffered a big disappointment recently. I'm not going to go into it, but please pray if you think of me as I try to wade through the sludge.
  
• Aaron turns 30 this weekend. Hello, fellow 29ers? Are you hearing this? 
• We're doing something special on Sunday with him to celebrate, and I'm super excited.
• Our friend Tom, who has served with me on the Grace PowerPoint Team FOREVER, gave a very generous gift to Dave and I. He gifted us with two tickets to see "The Sound of Music" in Toronto. It was an honor to receive a gift like that. We're gearing up to spend 24 hours or so in good ole' Canada. Awesome.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Church Marketing Sucks

My guest blog was just published at churchmarketingsucks.com . These guys do a great job at lifting up the value of "communicating, with uncompromising clarity, the truth of Jesus Christ." I stand behind their mission 100% and am honored to be a part of the team that is helping churches around the world do this marketing and communications thing better.

(It is even complete with it's own typo, which is just...so "me.")  ;-)

Fall Fun Day

Weird Hair

 I have REALLY long eyebrow hairs and eyelashes. It's bothersome.

Don't let anyone tell you that long eyelashes are enviable. They are really weird. They get all crumpled up when you sleep. Right before my wedding, a Clinique consultant told me I should get an eyelash PERM. HELLO?

As for the brow? Well...I can't really pluck them too much because I don't have a LOT of hair, just long hairs that are sparse. That's a problem.

My name is Danielle...and I have weird eye hair.

The Outsourced Associate

I just wrapped up an initial project with a brand new client who I absolutely love! I've never met him, but I know him through email, and I'm pretty sure he's a pretty incredible guy. He just passed the bar (w00t!) and is starting a business and launched a web site to serve existing law firms. Genius idea. Here is the stationery set I designed for him You can see a few more at flickr):

Congratulations, Josh!
