By Jennifer Polk. In this post I’m going to tell you how much money I’m making and how I’m making it. I’m doing this because I think it’s important to have conversations about money, especially among freelancers.

Slender, sculpted metal branches culminate in three tiers of metal “candlesticks,” each tipped with a flame-shaped fluorescent bulb. More...
By Shawna Wagman. Call it Murphy’s Law of umbrellas: carry one around all day and you’ll never see a drop of rain; forget it at home and you’ll be sure to get soaked.
