Ken has been helping me build a new site to showcase my consulting work.  My first draft is up, and I’ll be making edits for the next few weeks, but for now check out www.laurawilliams.org.  I love the fancy headers that Ken built for me from his photography.  So pretty.
The other thing I learned is [...]

I don’t much about the world, [...]

April 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, [...]

Vermont Fallen

May 9th, 2007 · No Comments

I write under the name of “VTgirl” since I am, in fact, from southern Vermont. It was a great place to grow up — a small town where everyone literally knew your name. It was definitely a rural community and when we graduated high school some of us went onto college, [...]

My New Lazy Green Lifestyle!

April 24th, 2007 · 1 Comment

It is cruel and unusual punishment that I told all my family and friends about writing a blog and then I got sick and haven’t touched it for a week or two. I have so much to chat about too. Birthdays, gardens, and a thousand thank yous to my friends and family for [...]
