The Odyssey Online

There wouldn't be enough adjectives to describe Ashlee Rosemeyer but inventive is just a start. I first met Ashlee through work and got to experience her ambitious work ethic, generous personality and care through her passions. She mentioned she had a passion of starting a home decor business and then in weeks this passion became a reality. This businesswoman and friend sits down with me to discuss her creativity, advice on owning your own business, and her future plans.

The Best Of Broad Ripple, For Those Under 21

Kylie

About a 10 minute drive from Butler University, Broad Ripple Village is a hotspot for college students and young adults alike. For those on the younger end of the spectrum, BRipp can sometimes seem like it doesn't exactly cater to those under 21. While that may be the case for some of the restaurants, Broad Ripple offers a range of activities for those of all ages--the secret is knowing where to look.

Here's a list of just 10 of the amazing opportunities Broad Ripple provides to cater to the younger (or less rowdy) crowd.

An interview with a home decor businesswoman

Remind yourself: You are not alone

The sun rises without fail, and so should you

Happiness would not be nearly as gracious if sadness did not exist

There was a point in time where you were happier. Think back to that time & brainstorm how you can return to it

Even if it doesn't feel like at times, there is always at least one person in the world that cares about you

Fall back on your favorite hobbies -- let them do their magic for you

Understand that you are human, and humans fluctuate emotions

There is so much beauty in the world. It's only a matter of traveling out to see it

Step out of your comfort zone & find yourself elsewhere

Take risks & involve yourself with new people, new energy

Turn on that TV or movie of yours that makes you laugh until you cry

Your pets love you

Be one with nature

De-stress by pampering & taking care of yourself

Shift your attention from the past into the future

Organize your life & promote productivity

Talk to yourself
