Exciting News & The End of Add Vodka

Hello friends,

In place of your regular Monday morning post, I have some pretty exciting news.

If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll notice two things:

1) I changed my username and photo. I am no longer a cartoon cocktail glass – I am a real person.
2) I have been Tweeting here and there about the launch date of a new and exciting project coming up.

The second point brings me to this:

After my wedding in July, I knew I wanted to make a change in what I was writing about.

Rather than the hybrid of personal finance and lifestyle that I’ve been writing about on Add Vodka over the past years, I had to face the fact that I am far more interested in lifestyle design – rather, redesign – than personal finance.

Over the past few months, I have been working hard behind the scenes to get a new site up and running. As I planned it and wrote for it and created my timeline for it, something kept nagging at the back of my mind: I needed to figure out what to do with Add Vodka.

So, after four and a half awesome years on this blog, I have decided that on January 5, 2015 (4 weeks from today), I will be shutting the doors of Add Vodka.

After January 5, you can find me at Unsettle.org, where I will be blogging about something I’ve been very passionate about for a long time: lifestyle redesign, online entrepreneurship, and starting and building something for yourself using the internet and the opportunities that it has afforded us.

Over the past year and a half or so, as I began to reveal more to my family and friends about what I do online and the businesses J and I have created, people became more interested.

I began coaching a handful of people on how to create websites and online businesses, and how to get in the mindset to pursuing online entrepreneurship. It’s been incredibly rewarding and it’s something that I will be pursuing full-time.

If you are interested in any of this, I’d encourage you to subscribe on the launch page of Unsettle, which you can find here.

It’s the end of an era for me. I’ve spent four and a half years on this blog, which is practically forever in the land of the internet. I’ve spent hours – probably an accumulation of weeks – writing for this website, and giving it up is like giving up my home for a new one.

This is bittersweet news that I’ve been nervous but excited about over the past couple of months, and I wanted to give you a very heartfelt thank you for reading along. Thank you for your emails, comments, and friendship even if you’ve been quietly reading along without ever having connected with me.
