Bridge Interactive 2010 Holiday Card

We’re trying to seed this new program that we have such passion for, so making a donation through our holiday cards seem like a natural step to take. In years past we’ve given to other Cleveland educational groups. So for every 2010 holiday card sent, $1 will be donated to HER Ideas in Motion to be used toward the creation of camps for girls ages 12-18.

We volunteered with other technology women at CVCC's IT's for Girls.

Eighty area girls from seven school districts gathered for tech games, career talks and to meet us – the women working in IT.  It was a great time. Very promising group of students, and CVCC has loads of technology related classes for students and adults.

Growing both professionally and personally creates space issues but this is such a welcomed challenge. After years of working out of my house, alongside my loyal officemate Chava, we’ve outgrown our space. It’s time to the separate work from family life. So we’re building a modern shed as a dedicated space outside the home to go and create and refocus professional efforts.

This modern shed becomes the new home for Bridge Interactive

I’m not sure why it takes getting married to justify a space of ones own. I suppose in hindsight I’d advise any startup to start outside the home. “Home-based” business is such a skewed and antagonistic term against otherwise competent and resourceful entrepreneurs . As if it’s healthy for any single, married, or otherwise to actually bring home the artifice of our work lives into the sanctuary of home. I realize what a target I’ve been all this time, which is why Chava and I are moving.

This modern shed will become our new work home. I’ll double the size. The cedar paneling and floors will inspire our work. Maybe a stain-glass window to color the small amounts of daylight we get here in Cleveland.

This picture was taken in late October. I’ll be posting the progress as we go. While Bridge Interactive moves to a new space, we thank Virginia Woolfe for reminding us to get out of our confined spaces in order to create!
