Sunday Inspiration: I’m Closer Than I Was Yesterday

2 Comments

A few weeks ago, I was beginning to get a little discouraged with myself as a blogger. Then last week some exciting opportunities fell into my lap. So when I found this quote while scrolling through Pinterest, it struck a chord in my heart and mind. There are times when I feel like I’ve made it as far as I’m going to make it, especially when it comes to my blogging. I keep plugging away, writing, and reading and taking tips from other blogs. Lately I’ve been reading blog posts and articles on “how to make your blog posts successful.” What I’m […]

Live Every Day Like Elle Woods

Legally Blonde may have come out in 2001, but the lesson I learned from that movie is timeless. It’s also a lesson that I think every woman should live by. What lesson is that, Vanessa? Well… I’ll tell you. Image borrowed from Chef Maribeth Elle: You’re breaking up with me because I’m too… blonde? Warner Huntington III: Well, no. That’s not entirely true… Elle: Then what? My boobs are too big? Elle Woods was dumped by her boyfriend, Warner, because he “needs to marry a Jackie, not a Marilyn.” This rejection forced her to step out of her comfort zone and apply herself and her brain […]

On Sundays, I like to sit on the front porch wrapped in a blanket, with a large cup of hot chocolate, and watch the cows mosey around in the field across from my house.

Sunday Inspiration: Wrong Questions vs. Right Questions

2 Comments

Being a #BossBabe is a state of mind and a philosophy I find encouraging. I try to follow a #BossBabe kind of life, especially when it comes to my blog, which is why, when I saw this quote, I decided to modify my thinking about what questions I’m asking myself.

These questions put all of your eggs in someone else’s basket. It’s as if your life, your future, your […]

Be a #BossBabe and Make This a Great Week

No Comments

Do you ever find yourself sitting in your living room on Saturday evening and the realization hits you that the next day is Sunday? Well, that’s where I found myself last night. I didn’t accomplish ANYTHING on Saturday, unless you count taking two (yes, TWO) naps! So last night I found myself scanning my bullet journal/daily calendar to work on my editorial calendar for my blog. It just feels like ever since I returned from the BlogHer 16 Conference (which was in LA), I haven’t sat down and written any blog posts except for one. The other two or three that […]
