I’m Michelle Baker, the chick behind the chalk at Rockin’ Chalk and I’m a star. (Whoa! Ego trip!) 

Actually, the journey of my business has a lot more TRIP (as in stumble-and-fall) than EGO, but I am a star. And YOU are a star. (Come on, own it!)

Do you know how many stars there are in the Milky Way? Between 200 and 400 billion stars! (I know...quite a margin of error) but anyway… it’s a lot. A lotta bright, shiny awesome stars.

And while it’s a beautiful, wonderful thing to admit to yourself that you are bright, you are talented, you are creative, and you SHINE...(here’s the reality check) it’s also important to realize that there are a LOT of us. 

We are ALL stars.

We each have a skill that’s a little special, maybe even a little coveted by others. Certain people appreciate what we have to offer (and they pay for it!), but only CERTAIN people. Not all of the people. So what to do?

Shine. On. We ARE all stars… it’s just a matter of finding our perfect constellation.
