Have you ever been doing something mindless when ‘suddenly’ the solution to your challenge appears? Ever looked up at the sky and had an epiphany?

Most of my approaches and solutions have been found when I am not thinking about it – when I let my own wisdom and heart guide me. Sometimes I lose track of this past experience and forget to leave myself space in my calendar; to just be, to reflect on my business and life.

As I write this journal, I am sitting on an airplane (for the first time since March 2020, but that’s another story!) en route to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. An unexpected trip in response to the recent news that my father-in-law passed away. Naturally, I am feeling a lot… sad, in trust, exhausted, grateful, highly sensitive, a strange sense of calm, supported, on edge, loved, overwhelmed.

Lessons from the road have given us perspective on approaches to business, have strengthened our emotional resiliency and with the help of a friend and a children’s book, Good Luck, Bad Luck that in the middle of a curveball that life has thrown your way there is a whole lot to be grateful for.

Wow – Costron + Co. is celebrating it’s first anniversary! 

Our first year – full of collaboration and heart centered work supporting entrepreneurs. It is crazy when we consider all that has happened during our first year – in the world and in our small business.  There were important lessons, disappointments, moments of gratitude, and wonderful successes – just what should be anticipated in the journey of developing a business.
