On Starting Again + Scale with Template Course Affiliate Link


Hi Reader

For a very long time I took a break from writing.

Four weeks ago I published my first blog in 2024.

It's been nearly a year since I wrote one.

Three weeks ago I published my second blog post in 2024.

Two weeks ago I went camping at Bruneau Dunes State Park with my extended family plus hosted family from DC.

Last week we celebrated my younger daughter reaching double digits and hosted family from California and Virginia.

This week we went to the waterpark rescheduled from the prior week to June temperatures in the 40's & 50's and what seemed like the threat of snow.

This week I've also started writing my next blog and continued working on updating our website.

I'm taking it day by day and week by week aiming for writing weekly, working on consistency, giving myself grace as a busy mom, and prioritizing family.

Today I want to encourage you to start again.

It's not too late.

I'm cheering you on.
