Hi, I’m Marissa, and this is my About page.

Try to contain your excitement.

I’m a Can-Do-Ologist, perpetual Curious George, and daily adventurer. I believe in abundance (especially as it relates to chai tea, yoga, computer geekery, and belly rubs for my dogs) and exploration from wherever you might be right now.

What I Do

I help you make room for the tasks you actually love by tackling the ones you don’t. Effectively. Creatively. And often, even cheerfully.

And I make up words. I don’t even charge extra for that. Bonus!

I believe that people who are doing the whole entrepreneur, self-employment gig should be able to thrive on doing what they love, what lights them up. That’s probably why they chose this whole self-employment adventure in the first place.

But lots of small biz folks find themselves, at some point, thinking,

"Whoa. I have so many have-to-do tasks that I’m not able to get to the love-to-do tasks that made me choose this path in the first place. And even when I do get to the love-to-do tasks, I hardly enjoy them, because I’m so stressed out and spent from all the other have-to-do tasks."

That’s where I come in. To tackle some of those have-to-do tasks so you can get back to the love-to-do tasks–and actually enjoy them again.

Stuff I Spend My Time Doing

Yoga, working out, perfecting the art of fetch and tug-o-war with my dogs, reading more nonfiction than I ever did in school, voraciously websurfing, creating words that may or may not be “real words,” blogging, discovering new music, Tweeting, vicariously being a Crime Scene Investigator and medical forensics expert through targeted television watching, and mooching my brother’s Rock Band game as I pretend to be a guitar prodigy.

Stuff That Fascinates Me

Wellness, Shiva Nata, postcards, dogs, computers, CSS & HTML, the creation of perfect peppermint white mochas, religions, traditions, the incredible adventures others live each day, music, and teeny-tiny books.

Future Goals

• To own a soft-serve ice cream machine
• Journal regularly
• Do backflips on trampolines
