i open umbrellas indoors.

Not because I know for sure that I am superior to bad luck, but because I am positive that if one drop of rain touches my hair I will turn into a Chia Pet.

I also walk under ladders, chase black cats, flash my headlights when people are driving without them and will go to just about any length to pick up a penny - even when it is tails up.

So, I guess I do not believe in superstitions.  I think this is because even if I avoided ladders, cats and white shoes after labor day, I would still trip in front of people, drop my coffee and spill jelly on my t-shirt.  It is inevitable.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in San Diego, California with my husband and our two young daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In 2015 I launched GET TO WORK BOOK®, a daily planner + goal-setting journal. In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]gettoworkbook.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.

Thank you so much for dropping by.
