Building a legacy that will far
outlast my time on this planet.


Hi there, I’m Chelsea Moser and this is my blog: TheNoDak.com (a.k.a. The North Dakotan). TheNoDak is a front seat view into my crazy life.

I was born and raised in a small town in North Dakota - and now I'm traveling the world while running two successful businesses. Join me on this journey of purpose while I build a legacy that will far outlast my time on this planet.

Also, do comment! I love reading your stories and thoughts. As always, if you wish to contact me directly—just drop me a line: Chelsea@TheNoDak.com.

Now sit back and relax. I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I love writing about it. Sending you lots of love... and happy reading!

Chinese Astrology is a sixty-year cycle that combines the energy of five elements and twelve animal signs. This system is tied to the Lunar calendar. 2012 is called the Year of the Water Dragon. It begins January 23, 2012 and ends February 9, 2013.

Dragons are powerful and magical creatures. Dragon years are times of destiny and decision. The beneficial influence of Water encourages cooperation, sensitivity to others, and mutual understanding in pursuit of important goals. Water Dragon requires tough choices and a willingness to surrender what is no longer necessary. Although this may seem daunting, the proper use of Dragon energy attracts good fortune. Read more »

  • When you hire someone that isn’t working out, let them go right away. Don’t try to fit a square peg in a round hole. Read more »

Slowing the train down from time to time…

Hey all. I hope you have been keeping busy, enjoying life, and preparing for the holidays. I know I have. For the longest time – I was afraid to slow down. Thinking it might be a bad thing… or a ball might drop. That totally freaks me out. But I realized that every once in [...]

It’s all about the team…

October 27, 2011

I’ve been part of several teams in the past. None of them felt quite right. The culture was always off, not everyone was totally in it, or people were really hating having to go to work every day. It was corporate – what do you expect, right?! At the beginning of October we had our [...]

I said YES!

June 6, 2011

A couple of months ago I wrote to you about my story of finding love after struggling with it for years. I mentioned how life was definitely interesting to say the least.  And I talked about how everything truly happens for a reason. You might not totally understand, perhaps you fight it… but eventually it [...]
