Welcome to 2018 Exciting Changes in 2018 This January marks the next phase in an experiment I've been quietly exploring for over a year. It's about yearning for time and freedom and wanting to do some things differently. This past year, I decided not to renew my office lease at the end of 2017. This doesn't mean I'm going to disappear; it means I'm going to allow myself more of the time and space I long for. I will continue to offerWriting at the Purple Table and One Book Groups. I'll still be available to meet with clients I know and have worked with previously. I'll maintain LaurieMattila.com but I haven't yet made a decision about the newsletter. Office Space Available My officemate Kate Kroska will take on the lease for Suite 301. Kate and I have already been sharing the office for the last four years. Kate is looking for someone to sub-lease the office two days each week. It's a delightful professional space in a convenient location near Selby and Snelling. It would also be a wonderful studio for a writer working on a project. There's a great sky view from the large third floor windows and in the spring there's a flowering crabapple tree right outside the window. If you know someone who might love working in Suite 301, please have them contact Kate.
