Martha Stewart At ALT Summit (Summer)

Have you noticed? It is so much fun to read about Martha Stewart! It is fun to watch her cooking shows; fun to eat what she teaches you to make; fun to view her multitudinous interviews on youtube. And, truth be told, one can learn an awful lot from Martha about making home more civilized. Wouldn't life be tons-of-enjoyable if it were? 

And it's all just a 'click' away.

Sure, she's terrifically wealthy. But if you look pretty closely, Martha Stewart started small, and worked toward big through scads of hard work. Good for her! I'm glad she could achieve these successes, because so much effort went into it.

But what makes me think of Martha Stuart, today? Designmom.com. Yes, that's right, the fabulous Designmom (Gabrielle Blair) who is a designer/blogger/wife/mother/creator-of-beauty/and ALT Summit co-founder. At this year's ALT Summit (look it up), Martha was the keynote speaker and completely nailed it. She was definitely preaching to the choir that day! I hope you tuned in. After all, hundreds of screaming women can't be all wrong.

I don't know what Martha is like behind closed doors, but out in front of them she is cool, and witty, and super amiable. You can watch the interview here.

Gabrielle Blair did a terrific interview. It is not easy to interview a megaStar and keep everybody interested for over an hour (I have seen lots of Martha interviews and in many of them, the interviewer would have been better off silent. Just ask simple questions, and then let Martha go). Gabby is good at this.

And by the way, Gabrielle Blair's Designmom.com is one of my personal favorite blogs due to the fact that Gabrielle Blair is, herself, unique. And humble. And oh-so-innovational. Not to mention she has six children! To own even one of those attributes along with six children is approaching the miraculous. But she does it. It could be exhausting just to think about it.

So, my dear Readers, click away! You will definitely find something you like in that vast world of Martha. I am clicking as we speak: "Martha Stewart's Cooking School". Hmmmm .. should it be Grits With Boiled Tomatoes? or perhaps Roast Rack of Lamb? 

I think I'll go with the Lamb. After all, 40,000 coyotes can't all be wrong.

See you along the way!
