ABOUT ME

Hi everyone.
My name is Trudy, or Tru for short!

I started blogging in 2010 to share my journey. Since then, life has been filled with growth, new beginnings, unexpected challenges, and moments that continue to shape my story.

That's why I named my blog Life Is a Journey. It reflects the belief that life is not defined by a single destination, but by the people we become and the experiences that shape us along the way.

Here, I share my reflections on entrepreneurship, motherhood, creativity, and community through personal stories, lessons learned, and everyday moments. My hope is that something you find here encourages you to keep building, keep growing, and embrace your own journey with purpose and intention. About me

With our own two feet... even if we get beaten and bruised along the way we'll eventually reach something. We'll eventually reach someone. Until then we'll keep wishing. So... let's start walking.” Read more

What Is Branding?

I realized recently that I posted about Brand Consistency before even explaining what Branding is…silly me! At the beginning of 2023, I dedicated the first quarter to breaking down branding, brand consistency, and defining your brand. As we approach the…
