Acorn Host, Tao of Prosperity

• http://www.acornhost.com

Summary: I run a green-powered, progressive, and all-around-cool web hosting company called Acorn Host. I also author a blog called Tao of Prosperity which discusses prosperity, passive income, non-violent marketing and other spiritual-creative-businessy topics for self-employed folks. Lastly, I make art, write, and think a heck of a lot about how to rewrite culture to support everyone to be vibrantly alive and happy. I also design simple, uncluttered, and user-friendly e-commerce sites for small businesses, on occasion (but not right now--I'm on a break).

Web Hosting: Acorn Host is a green-powered, women-owned (that's me), progressive web hosting company. Our goal is to support you to do what you do - by offering reliable, user-friendly, well-supported web hosting.

We have excellent uptime, affordable packages, 24/7 tech support via phone or email, and lots of pre-installed scripts like Wordpress and Zen Cart for the do-it-yourself folks.

Web Design: I am currently on a break from web design, but my company site still lives at Red Acorn Design.

And she's crafty: I run a website called Beadage that is about how to make jewelry. If you like beading, click on over. You can even submit your work to our free gallery of beading artists from around the world.

Things I Think About: I consistently think about art and creativity (especially as it relates to spirituality), conscious business, passive income, NVC (non-violent communication), Taoism, intrinsic motivation, emotional healing, personal growth, and other woo-woo stuff. My geeky side likes to play with geek culture, Web 2.0, futurism (ie the Singularity). And any other idea that seems interesting at the time. Last but not least, I like to ask myself 'How much happiness can I stand?' and do whatever leads me there.

Art: I create art primarily for my own amusement and enlightenment (seeing inside my subconscious and whatnot), and I think art should be something everyone does, like cooking or taking a shower. It feeds your soul and cleanses your mind, and everyone can do it. Right now I post my artwork on Flickr. I also have recently taken up SoulCollage which I am in love with.

Writing: Besides Tao of Prosperity, I write on these blogs: cheekyboots is my sometimes cheeky, sometimes raw personal blog, where I write about personal growth, healing, and other random things that are going on in my life. Joy Ninja is about radical happiness for everyone.
