It's almost the end of May and I wanted to share some of my business wins this month, an epic flop, a great new free gift for anyone interested in writing/becoming a writer and some new tools and resources that I'm trying. May has felt like a bit of a roller coaster to me and from some of the posts I'm seeing in groups and emails I'm receiving I am not the only one!

First two wins!

1. Earlier this month I put together a special bundle combining my course Launch Your CE Teaching...

Life is just so much finer and more fun when you are being kind to yourself! You know I'm right about that.

Focusing on the positive in various ways is part of my gratitude practice, and so today I decided to find 5 fun things that happened in spite of or along with the stress of the week.

Looking back I do think some of my stress was just a "post-wedding crash". It was a lot of time, money, peopling and my introverted heart/mind/body/soul needed time to rest and recover, not to mention...

Good morning on this rainy (in North Carolina) Monday. We have two weeks of homeschool left (forever!), a wedding coming up on June 11 (my daughter), and of course the never-ending home to-do's cleaning, three meals a day, pets to take care of, check-ups to schedule, it's enough to make me want to hide under the covers!

I much prefer to have time and space for creating, planning, and selling. I prefer to outsource cleaning, but I don't have anyone at the moment and even looking for someone...

Overwhelm seems to be going around, I've noticed it with my clients, friends, and myself. It seems like everyone is feeling a bit in the weeds, there's SO MUCH TO DO...

 One big sign of overwhelm is overreacting to something that wouldn't normally phase you, like that client canceling at the last minute when it's already been a slow week (suddenly it's not just a random slow week but we are a FAILURE at business), or your kid asking for a treat when your bank account is on empty, or when...

One of the most powerful and impactful questions you can ask?

This morning we got up at 3 am for an early morning flight . Something I swear I will never do, every time I do it. But, it seems to keep popping up, mostly because I can’t be bothered with travel plan details and love for my husband to handle the logistics if we are traveling together.

 So, all that to say I only got a couple of hours of sleep. I have trouble sleeping in ideal situations and I’ve never slept on a...

2. My Learnings From My...

Secret #1

There are no secrets, there is no right way or step by step that will work for everyone.

OK, you can stop reading now! :)

 It’s true though, all the experts, “gurus”, people with secret strategies that you can learn for just several thousand dollars are not any smarter than you are. They are just further down the path. They learned, tested, applied, and figured out what works for them. Your results may or may not be the same, there are many many...

I love the holidays, decorating, spending time with family and friends, cooking & sharing delicious food, and picking out gifts I think people will really like.

I also don’t love the holidays, the extra cleaning, wrapping presents (so annoying and time-consuming), getting out of my normal routines feels stressful, the high expectations for picture-perfect events often leads to stress or disappointment when people inevitably act like imperfect humans and did I mention the extra...

I am so excited to share with you about monthly challenges and how they can help you change your life for the better and reach your goals! A monthly challenge is a great way to practice a new behavior, and that can lead to developing better habits over time because forming new habits and breaking bad habits is a multi-step process.

Step one is making the decision to change, try something new, or be more consistent in any area of life. What do you want to work on this month? What do you want...
