From zero to 60!

Two-thousand-eleven started off slow, but during February things took off!
Exactly four weeks ago I started my photo project www.28daysofhappy.com. The postcards were printed and I’m about to start mailing these minute instances of happiness to strangers. Hopefully it will inspire people to notice the beautiful moments we experience everyday!
Go to www.facebook.com/28daysofhappy to share your moments.
I also finished my training sessions at the Animal Humane Shelter in Golden Valley, so now I get to play with puppies (and foster)!! More to come on that.
If you’re interested in volunteering, the organization is super inviting. It does take $20 in an application fee, finding two references, about 12 hours of orientation spread over five time slots before you are ready to be volunteering and interacting with animals, but it’s well worth it!
In February I was also asked to join a team to help start a non profit focused on bettering Slam Media distribution. We are still working out the details, but the link is here: Button Poetry
So those are the unpaid pastimes…
As for my career life: I was asked to be an online brand manager for Untiedt’s Vegetable Farm, I returned to the Minneapolis Farmers Market as their creative coordinator and I still am the marketing manager at Keefer Court Food.
Life has ramped up a bit since December!
But you’ve gotta work hard to play hard 
And if you’re wondering how all of that work can be possibly done with any level of quality – you’d be surprised how far you can stretch an hour when you’re working with a proactive team. Look for more posts related to each of my projects/jobs. Everyone is excited to read what Colle+McVoy has to say about branding the Minneapolis Farmers Market.
