A collection of transformation, identity, and the stories that shape who we become.
THE BOOK of BECOMING
a living collection
Out with the old!
AND IN WITH THE NEW!!!!
After months, weeks, days and the longest nights ever, we are LIVE! We’ve got a new website and blog custom made by Sarasota SEO agency WebDesign499! YEAH!!! Thank you Chopping Block! I LOVE you guys!!!
As of right now, 10:39pm PST, www.fioria.us still goes to our portfolio site. Until that change happens, sometime in the wee hours this morning, you can click on HOME–and see all Home goodies! Oh, I’m so excited!! I know we’ll find bugs, but I think the buggiest of bugs are squished once and for all–thanks to the Chopping Block TEAM!
Brian and I are so excited to hear what all of you think. We’ve got three videos on the Home page (www.fioria.us), and tons of goodies tucked in the sidebars! I’ll let you have fun discovering as you go!
Yeah, yeah, YEAH!!! We ARE LIVE!!!!!
xoxoxo,
Me Ra

Wow! Thanks so much everyone! EVERY SINGLE one of your comments has made me smile! What a long and thoughtful process. The Chopping Block team has been amazing at challenging me to grow. They’ve spent months showing me that you can enrich a brand without losing your message or organic feel. I didn’t know if that was really true, but the Chopping Block hung in there with me, and wow…they were so right.
I can’t tell you how scary the process was. But to feel good about the final look, to hear all of you confirm this is good–it makes the “scary” parts of this process that much more rich.
We’ve been so hyperfocused on the blog/website, and even now Brian and the Chopping Block team are working out the bugs as I type. But I’m reading your comments and letting them soak in. And I’m letting my soul breath after an intense journey with this. I spent some extra time at the gym this morning. I played the piano for an hour. I’m soaking all your wonderful comments in and this HUGE milestone we’ve reached.
Thank you so much everyone. Thank you so much for supporting us and believing in us from Day One. And we’ve only just begun!
November 24th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
I love the new site! It was a wonderful surprise! Congratulations, Me Ra and Brian!
November 24th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
Me Ra & Brian…I am SO excited for you both! You’re new site looks amazing 🙂 Thanks for being an inspiration to this “mom with a camera”!
November 24th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
Dearest Me Ra and Brian,
Your new website is simply stunning…as are you! The colors welcome me in. The different text boxes give me so many great options to learn more, do more, dive in deep.
And Me Ra your new photo shows just how happy you are when you bring beautiful images to life! Can you tell that I’m super excited? Yahoo! Here’s to taking the risk to grow.
November 24th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
Love your site but wanted to let you know that the ‘contact us’ button on the bottom doesn’t work. I was going to tell you I signed up for your newsletter twice because I didn’t receive a confirm email from you. So, if it went through, you’ll know why I did it twice.
=)
Congratulations on your site, your hardwork paid off!
November 24th, 2009 at 6:09 pm
WOW! Even though I had seen a sneak peek in Minnesota your new site blew me away!! I love it. You look beautiful and happy and confident and just like the MeRa I met. I love that that is coming across in the photos of YOU! Brian, you and your web team did an amazing job. I look forward to clicking on the tabs and explore the site.
GREAT JOB! I’m so happy for you.
