Massachusetts yearly LLC fee
I just paid my Massachusetts yearly LLC fee. It was $500 **plus** $20 for the “convenience” of paying online. What?? CT’s fee is only $20 period. In RI it’s $50. This is ridiculous for a small business owner. It’s one of my biggest yearly expenses. I even went to Boston to speak at a hearing. No luck. I’ve been paying this since 2005 and every year it bothers me. I keep talking to my reps, and they write bills, and nothing happens. They should at least make a sliding scale so small one-person operations aren’t paying this massive amount.

4th largest bookstore in the US has folded
The 4th largest bookstore in the US has folded. People still read vast numbers of physical books – they just buy them online now.
Bookstores need book clubs, author talks, and other in-person activities.
Do you still shop at bookstores?

Evening meditation time – watercolor paintings
Evening meditation time. I’m documenting my great-grandfather’s watercolor paintings of the Fox River in Illinois. Hopefully I’ll get high-quality archival photos of them shortly, to make prints and other items from these. Treasure your history. #namaste

Consignment Selling for Arists and Authors
Consignment Selling for Arists and Authors
I’m working on a new book about the pros and cons of selling books and art on consignment. I’ve had good and not-so-good experiences. If you have a story to share, please let me know! This is just a placeholder cover – I’ll come up with something better when the book gets closer to done.
What are you guys working on tonight?

Do Yoga Every Day
Do Yoga Every Day – You don’t have to do a long two-hour yoga practice every day to get benefits. If your schedule is busy, just make time for ten minutes. Fifteen minutes. Even a few minutes of gentle yoga reaps wonderful benefits for your health. It impacts your immune system, your spine health, your levels of stress hormones in your system, and so much more.
My yoga practice today was fairly brief, as I have some pressing tasks to get done before end-of-day. Even that short time invested repays in dividends as everything else I do hums along at a solid clip.
Did you do any yoga today? Even a brief head roll? Make the time to invest in yourself!
