Hey friends! . The Maker Mastermind is about to re

Hey friends!
.
The Maker Mastermind is about to return, better than ever, and also, physical and 100% local!
.
Here are some pictures from our new mastermind meeting venue. Take a look and picture yourself masterminding under my leadership, with other local entrepreneurs in this quaint coffeehouse.
.
I cannot wait to share more.
.
If your are local to me, Charlotte, North Carolina, raise your hand if you want to hear more about how you can join me for ongoing in-person appropriately socially distant masterminding, accountability, support and growth for your business!

Mentor Moment: brick and mortar + click and order.

Mentor Moment: brick and mortar + click and order. If you think you have an online business, think again. If you think you have a brick and mortar business, think again.

In a manner of speaking, actually, we all have both. I explain why in this video

(Crazy blooper at the end.)

This is me and my Open Mouth Face of Fun.
.
I know this probably seems a little over the top, but, oh well. This is not quite the "me" you see in most of my entrepreneurial training videos or on the physical or virtual stage speaking somewhere.
.
But this is definitely me. Ask anyone who knows me, including my children who still forbid me from tagging them on Instagram for the very reason that their friends might be more likely to see me post something like this that shows how crazy their mother is. And ask my husband too. He'll tell you that this is what he has become used to over the past two decades. (And he loves it of course, don't you, @dbjdigital ...)
.
It doesn't take much to make me happy, and only a little bit more to push me over the top.
.
If you are my friend, you probably know this look. It's that, "OMG, I am so happy to see you that my head has exploded my phone away from my ear."
.
That's how I feel when I see the people I love, and if I've ever spent more than a few minutes with you before, then you probably fall in that category.
.
So happy spring y'all. And let's get together soon. Bonus points for over the top greetings like this.
.

So easy and so good! Hat tip: @healthywholealive 💕

Savory Sweet Potato, Spinach and Caramelized Onion
.
Bake the Sweet potato 🍠. While it is baking, sauté sliced red onion in vegetable oil until it is caramelized. Add a crushed garlic clove, if desired. Remove from heat. Add the spinach greens 🥬 and toss to soften and coat with flavor.
.
Make a dressing with the juice from 1/2 🍋 , a few tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, a dash of garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.
.
Once the sweet potato is thoroughly baked, peel back the skin and smash in the vegetables. Then, top it all with the dressing.

Drunken Noodles
.
This is my first attempt to make Thai Drunken Noodles. Thanks to @seonkyounglongest for the recipe.
.
The dish serves 4 comfortably, and tastes fantastic. You will love it if you love these types of ingredients:
.
fish 🐠 sauce
oyster 🦪 sauce
garlic 🧄 (10 cloves)
shallots
.
You get the idea.
.
.
.
Everybody around here is impressed. I will be making this again. See my stories for some of the cooking.

Throwback

This is me, with my brother and best friend, @jeffcoles.
.
While I don’t exactly remember, it probably took hours to get us to sit this close to each other. Then more hours to get us to stop bickering about how he was touching me or I was touching him. Ewwww. Boy germs.
.
Seeing pictures like this makes me feel so guilty about all those times I turned off his favorite cartoons so I could watch mine on the one television we had in the house.
.
Or about how I would take the cake beaters away from him and lick off all the batter in front of him, and make him cry.
.
Our mom used to always tell me that one day, he would become stronger and I would not be able to bully him anymore.
.
Well. That day came. And he was pulling my hair on the basement floor. And he was winning the fight. I screamed for mom, and she said “I told you so,” and left me to deal with it on my own.
.
He won that fight, and one more after. (Because I am hard headed.) Then, we never fought again.
.
He is the most amazing man today. Way stronger then me and far more intelligent. He is wise and patient, very careful in his decision making.
.
When I am lost, I call him and he always gives me good advice and reminds me that I am better than my circumstances.
.
I have the best brother in the world. Love you Jeff.

Hello friends!

Allow me to introduce myself!
.
I’m Donna Maria, founder at @indiebusiness.
.
I love meeting people.
.
My favorite things are entrepreneurship, aromatherapy, and this jewel 💎 tone blue blouse I have on today.
.
I am from Washington, DC, 🇺🇸 and currently live in my adopted hometown of Charlotte, NC.
.
I like to cook. Thai food is my favorite. 🥘
.
I love coffee ☕️, though I have recently started to swap it out some for Dandelion and/or Chicory.
.
I enjoy exercise once I get started. Getting started is the problem.
.
I love plants 🪴 and flowers 💐 but my thumb is not so green.
.
I like to make things, especially perfumes and aromatherapy essential oil infused skin and body are products.
.
I am a candle 🕯 addict. It is truly sad how much of an addict I am.
.
I like to talk, my husband says too much, but he says it lovingly.
.
I recently set up shop on Clubhouse ♣️🏡, because I can talk and talk and talk there. Join me there @ Donnamaria
.
Currently, I am parenting teenagers. Pray for me. 🙏🏽
.
It’s nice to meet you. Let’s get to know each other. Please introduce yourself in the comments. I’d love to meet you!
