As we approach the end of 2017 I have done a lot of reflection and have made some new changes in my personal life, with a more devout practice to mindfulness. I have worked with many new brands and have spoken with inspiring companies in Austin and beyond that have propelled me to start my own blog. Yes, I know this is a very, and I mean very, saturated platform. Unlike some bloggers, I will not be pretending to have endorsement deals with the personalities and brands I feature in order to gain influence or freebies. My aim and intention is to spotlight companies, personalities and brands that reflect a care for humanity. This is just a personal project that gives me the ability to exercise my "chops" as a writer and as a compassionate and empathetic human being. My goal is to share with you the good that is going on in the world when we are so often bombarded with the worst assortment of news.

Some of my features will be in conjunction with the good people of Alive Media, whose team I have long-time worked with and have come to understand that its members also value great causes. I am also open to collaborative projects and representation of brands and personalities that propel an assortment of the following values:

• Sustainability
• Fair-Trade
• Animal Welfare
• Environmentally Friendly
• Empowering Social & Economic Advancement
• Natural Products
• Wellness/Mindfulness
• Equality

I am always open to your thoughtful suggestions and inquiries as I embark on a venture to bring to you some good news! Feel free to reach out via the contact form or leighekosloski@gmail.com

Namaste.
