On January 22, 2026, TikTok updated its Terms of Service and privacy policies for U.S. users, coinciding with its transition to the American-majority entity TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC. While this corporate shift eased some regulatory concerns, the updated terms have sparked confusion and concern among creators, small businesses, and privacy-conscious users.

Here’s a breakdown of the most important changes, directly from TikTok’s own language — and what they mean for your brand or business.

We've made it to February! With that, things continue to change as do the seasons. Please make sure you keep your accounts secure as many have experienced recent issues with their social accounts.

Thousands of Facebook and Instagram users believe a flaw in Meta’s security AI has led to false accusations of child sexual exploitation, causing Meta to unfairly suspend or ban their accounts.

Hey…
Have we met yet?
This is Mr. Charles and little Ruby.
They are our dogs and office pups. Causing mayhem and delight everyday. Come join us for the journey and maybe we’ll share some insights along the way.

is a local bakery and lunch cafe! Did you know they aren’t just a bakery, but have coffee, sandwiches and more! It’s been a busy day and I had the joy of stopping here today for some late lunch.

I had the turkey avocado sandwich which was great. What is that secret sauce?? It had the satisfaction of having cheese on it without cheese and I didn’t need my hot sauce.

Rounded it out with a chocolate covered Oreo. Explore a new local business and bring a friend! It’s always more fun with a friend.

Stay warm! We are working and cozy while the snow is here. Don’t forget to help some neighbors in need if you are capable. It goes a long way and neighborly help should not be overlooked.

Meanwhile the office intern, Ruby, is now Charizard to keep warm in this weather. Thanks to my sister for the sweater!

This is Charlie and Ruby! We love them so much and they are such a funny pair.

Charlie just turned 7 years old and Ruby is now 4 years old! One of her hilarious quirks, is that she likes to groom Charlie, specifically by licking his eyes whether they are open or closed. Don't ask me why this is the specific location she must show affection. She has done this since day one.

We took our dogs to a daycare, so we would have a great place to board them if we take a trip. I remember getting feedback from the daycare.

"Um, you know, Ruby, she licks Charlie's eyes a lot,"
" Oh, I know, that is normal--she has always done that."

We are pretty sure she just loves him dearly and this is one way she shows that affection. I think in this picture it is clear he doesn't mind the attention.

Today, I am reflecting on the day, and grateful for the feedback I receive from clients, and my community. Here is also a picture of what it often looks like when the office manager would like to interrupt or join work calls...He usually has a strong opinion he'd like to share. Can you see the drama in this post?

Aside from Charlie's enthusiasm, I am very grateful for the feedback I receive from others. I wanted to note the importance of spending time with your clients and customers. Spend the time the need to feel comfortable. No one wants to feel rushed or unimportant. I believe in my business it is important to make sure any individual or company receives the time they need to fully understand, and appreciate the work I do. I am not afraid of anyone replacing me or taking my skills. These are my skills I have built, just now packages to share with others.

I hope you all have a great New Year, and here is to making others feel important and valued. Not rushed.
