An Easy Way to Add More Joy

Happy Wednesday my friend! This week as I was thinking about what I wanted to share with you, it came to mind that one of the biggest joys in my life is something I haven’t shared much about. Not because I don’t think about it, or because it’s in any way difficult, or it’s something…

Tell Me About Your Expectations

Happy Valentine’s Day my friend! The day of LOVE….ahhhh. In 6th grade, I was in love with Russel Roberts. I thought he was just the cutest thing ever with his sweet smile and floppy brown hair that hid his chocolate brown eyes. I was definitely in the “friend zone” for him, but I was sure…

Getting What You Look For

Happy Wednesday my friend! Let me start with a question… Did you know that your brain will find exactly what it expects to find? Or put another way, did you know you get exactly what you think about. So often in life, without even knowing it, we find ourselves creating just the future we don’t…

What’s on Your About Page?

Happy Wednesday my friend, I’ve spent the morning working on my Amazon Author page, refining the book description and all the tags and stuff that goes on when your book goes up on Amazon. Normally the publisher would take care of all this behind-the-scenes stuff. And since I’m self-publishing, that means I’m the one doing…
