Here’s Ian from Sign-​On installing the new sign this morning!

Ooo… great loca­tion! (Is that Coffee Cot­tage right across the street?)

Here’s Deanne! Poor girl, the sun was directly in her eyes, and all the people in the cars going by were watch­ing, but hey, it was a spe­cial moment to capture!

You may not have noticed the new “Com­fort Coun­sel­ing” link over in my “Favorite Sites” list, but some­thing new is slowly coming to life, here in the Com­fort house­hold. Over the past few weeks Deanne has been in the process of start­ing her own pri­vate practice!

Find­ing job oppor­tu­ni­ties that fit her cur­rent needs has been prov­ing dif­fi­cult, if not impos­si­ble. Some­thing not in Port­land, and not full-​time… So, feel­ing like she needed to DO SOME­THING, she began to do some dream­ing and inves­ti­gat­ing. The two of us began look­ing into the require­ments of start­ing a small busi­ness: incor­po­ra­tion, insur­ance, pro­mo­tion, web site, print­ing, sig­nage, etc.

Then a really good oppor­tu­nity came about when our friend Tim Hyatt offered to sub-​lease an office in his North­west Inte­gra­tive Health Center, a Natur­o­pathic med­ical prac­tice here in New­berg. So she decided to go for it!

We real­ize it is going to take some time to get going, but the start-​up things are grad­u­ally coming together. This week the sign should be up on the corner of Han­cock and Merid­ian Streets and the word will be out!

Here’s a screen shot from Deanne’s Home­page. I couldn’t be more proud of her efforts!
