Hi Reader,Happy Friday! I'm about to head into the weekend in full celebration mode to cap off the celebration of the Lunar New Year which officially ends on March 3rd.Buckle up, as the Year of the Horse is supposed to be a wild one. Especially since it's the year of the Fire Horse which happens every 60 years. 🔥 This year symbolizes rapid change, passion, independence, and bold action, often disrupting the status quo to make way for new beginnings.And if the Fire Horse energy is anything to...

Hi Reader,Happy Monday!I've been a busy little bee as I've been in creator mode creating some new goodies for Faith Lee's the Not Just PLR bundle which kicks off today! If you’ve been with me for a while, you know I’ve participated in more bundles than I can count. But over the years, I've slowed down as I'm all about being selective. And sure, it seems like there's a new bundle out almost every day, but this is one that's always worth checking out. The Not Just PLR bundle is a specially...

Hey Reader,Happy Monday!Today is officially a snow day as we're still digging out from yesterday's Snowmaggeddon. We received a mountain of the wintery stuff on top of a huge storm that came in a little over a week ago. There's definitely been WAY more snow than any year I can think of in recent memory. Before the storm hit, my husband and I were both working late and decided to order takeout for delivery. Normally I try to order directly from the restaurant and pick it up, but when you're...

Hey Reader,How has your January been shaping up so far? Last year around this time, I had already dealt with a flood as well as a fire on the highway which led to our car getting scrapped. Oh and then I topped it off with a four month bout of pneumonia. 😫So far, 2026 has been off to a far better start. I've been busy working behind the scenes creating a bunch of products I'm excited to release. However, because I'm all too familiar with the fact that 💩💩💩 can hit the fan at any time, I wanted...

Hi Reader, Happy New Year's Eve! Can you believe we're at the final day of the year? What a ride 2025 has been. Full of triumphs, curveballs, and those rollercoaster, messy moments that test our resolve and remind us why we keep showing up.For me personally, 2025 was off to a terrible start with a flood, our car's engine catching fire and needing to be junked, and coming down with pneumonia for four months. It made it more difficult to show up consistently. Because if you know me, you know i...

Hi Reader, How are you faring during this time generally referred to as "The In-Between Days?" Not sure about you but for generally this period between Christmas and New Year are a time where many feel like they have no idea what day it is. This is the time we're filled with so much chocolate and cheese that we're ready to burst. 🐷I've taken a couple days to revel in slothdom but I've also been spending time thinking out what I want to get done next year and how I want to tackle my to do...

Hi Reader, Happy holidays!For those who celebrate, I know the last few days have probably been a bit of a blur - packed calendars, full inboxes and not a lot of time for checking emails.Personally, I've been enjoying unplugging as much as possible and giving myself permission to recharge without feeling guilty about it. Today, we're hunkered down having a mellow day filled with yummy food and relaxing while a huge snowstorm rages outside. I'm trying to convince my son and hubby to watch yet...

Hi Reader,I hope you survived the Black Friday/Cyber Monday madness and came out ahead.Ahead = Picking up everything you wanted/needed and avoiding everything you didn't. If you missed my last newsletter, I mentioned I bought some pillows just for the fun of it. It wasn't a Black Friday purchase. I had a birthday coupon at Indigo (a Canadian book seller - but with a lot more than books) and wanted to make good use of it since it didn't apply to all the crazy sales.I felt a tinge of guilt...
