This week, I discovered that the online version of the Redbook article (with me and my photo in it) has appeared online. You can check it out here:

The article is called “Trust Your Gut. Change Your Life.” The description is: “Tap into the power of your intuition to make your dreams happen. Learn how these five women used theirs to change their lives.”
My story is on page 2 of the online version:
“Listening to her gut led to…A life-changing move”
The article goes on to describe how 14 years ago, James and I decided to start our business so we could escape the city (and our crummy cubicle jobs), and realize our dream of moving to a place in the trees. (A more detailed version of the “story” is also on the Logical Expressions web site.)
And yes, that’s a picture of me standing in a meadow near our house. In the print version, it’s a 2-page spread, but even the online version shows how very GREEN everything was that day. (The photo shoot was at the end of May after a whole lot of rain, so the flora was what I term “explosively” green.)
Here’s a couple of the “out takes” from the photo shoot (James had his camera too!)
My dog Leto was in a few shots. He was a very good boy during the shoot, even if he didn’t make it into the final photo.
Me with the photographer Erika Larsen (who is absolutely brilliant) and her assistant as they deal with camera and lighting issues. Erika uses a large-format camera and film (not digital). She had to have taken hundreds of photos. I wore two different outfits and she took photographs in 5 or 6 locations around our property and neighborhood. The photo shoot took all day, but it was a lot of fun.
I actually got an email about the article today from a woman who said our story made her feel like it was really possible to leave her 6×6 cubicle.
If the article actually inspires someone to really take the plunge, escape cubicle hell, and create a life she loves, I’ll be completely thrilled 😉
