Young Adult Indie Author
I have written about my goal-setting process on here before, but as my life has changed and what I wanted out of my life changed, I knew I needed something different…but I wasn’t sure what. So, when one of my favorite AuthorTubers, Sarra Cannon – a brilliant and successful indie author and lovely human being…
We’ve all heard of the inner child, right? When someone is being cranky or needs a nap, or when we go to therapy and we talk about healing the inner child or giving them what they need or something…well, I think I have an inner teenager. For real, I’ve been trying to be more adult…
No, the title isn’t in reference to the Ke$ha song (although, I do enjoy dancing to that when putting on my makeup) – today I’m going to talk about timers! I love timers! I especially love timers now that I have an Alexa (the Amazon Echo Dot that I talked about a few months ago). …
Hello to 2019 and to my lovely readers. How were the holidays for everyone? How has January been so far? Christmas was really nice and a little crazy (seven year olds are good for that) and January has been a bit of a whirlwind as I onboard two new Virtual Assistant clients, gear up…
Baby New Year is about to make his appearance again as we say goodbye to 2018 and ring in 2019. Every year around this time, as I’m scrambling to buy Christmas gifts (seriously, why do I always wait until the last flipping minute?)

Why do we stop ourselves? Why do we stop doing the things that we know help us? Do we want to stay stuck? Or is that just me? See, I can write a bunch of things and blame everyone else, but the truth is – I stopped. I stopped doing my morning pages, stopped walking,…
I’ve always been fascinated by the moon. When I was little, I thought about being an astronaut for a brief moment – until I watched the Challenger blow up on TV while sitting in the elementary school auditorium next to a hundred other scared children. But I still loved looking up at the moon, wondering…
Stress…every adult has felt it at some point or another. Some thrive on it, or claim to thrive on it, and others find ways to deal with it when it rears its ugly head. Some hide away from it, ignore it, freak out about it, or deal the best they can and then burn-out. I…
Last week I talked about being happy, and how we aren’t really taught this growing up – for better or for worse. This week I want to touch on something else most of us weren’t taught – how to feel our feelings. Again, this isn’t a judgment thing – our ancestors were too busy struggling…
