My Interview with the #PerfectionistProblems series with Wendy de Jong
Hey everyone! Hot off the press! Check out my interview with Wendy de Jong, owner of The Gratefulist. She is full of heart and passion as she helps other creatives let go of their perfectionism and embrace their perfectly imperfect selves. A woman totally after my own heart! We all struggle with the idea of our own idea of being the best we can be and add that with what society expects and the ones we love wanting good things for us. Those must-be-perfect vibes being thrown around make it very easy to get trapped. Add 2 shakes of anxiety, a dash of fear and a pinch of insecurity and voila, a perfect recipe…

I Have A Dream
Today is Martin Luther King (MLK) Jr Day, celebrating a man who fought for equality of all races (not just his own) or for all genders that we might live in a world of freedom and peace. He was especially famous for his “I Have A Dream” speech. We celebrate him every 3rd Monday of January, while his birthday is actually January 15th. I have A Dream While he was persistent with his goal of a nation that was on equal terms and free from the chains of racism, prejudice, and poverty, he made sure that his ways (and those who followed him) were righteous, honorable and peaceful.…

Reflection for the 2017 New Year
As 2016 is ending (thank Goodness, I just can’t even!) and 2017 is about to start, it’s now the annual time for everyone to reflect on the good and perhaps even bittersweet moments of the year. Let’s jump right on in! I want you to take a journal that makes you happy and that you’ll want to write in and/or reflect on (or a plain notebook if that makes you happy!), some plain poster board (5 sheet pack for $1 at the Dollar Tree) or even this beautiful Gold Glitter Poster Board from Staples (only $3.99. I know! It’s GORGEOUS!) Starting off with Success To start off…

Happy Veteran’s Day!
Hey everyone and Happy Friday! This Friday is very special as it’s Veteran’s Day, a day where we remember and honor our Veterans, past and present. I believe that while we DEEP DOWN do support our troops, we tend to get caught up in our own lives and can sometimes forget about what a deep sacrifice our military has given. As they swear in, they are giving up their own identities, putting their current life on hold and the responsibilities that go along with being a “daily human.” They swear to God, their Branch, to Country. Their families usually take a back seat for a little bit. That’s hard.…

Happy 241st Birthday US Marine Corps!
Hey everyone, just wanting to wish the United States Marine Corps a very Happy 241st Birthday! Check out the Commandant’s Birthday message here. If you want to know more about the Marine Corps, check out my post back in May from Armed Forces week. The Marine Corps have been around since 1775 and are still going strong. Of course I am partial to the Corp as a Marine certainly stole my heart. I am thankful for him in so many ways, including all of his years in service. I am so proud of him and I don’t have enough words to express my gratitude and appreciation of…

November Goals aka The Action Plan
Hey everyone and Happy November! Can’t believe Halloween is come and gone! What happened to October? Oh right, Hurricane Matthew, hotel clean up, guest and client and local city event make up days, daylight beginning to get shorter and shorter and yeah, Halloween. Time goes by when you’re having fun right? We’re down to the last 2 months of the year and in my opinion some of the busiest. There’s Daylight Savings Time on Sunday the 6th (don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour – Fall back into bed and enjoy that extra hour of sleep! I’m sure you need it just as much!), Election Day on the…

Gratitude Dare
It’s November and I’m sure you’re seeing a lot of “being grateful” posts. Gratitude is a big thing! It may seem so small and trivial, but being in that mindset takes time to become a habit. It simply doesn’t happen over night! One of my blogging BFFs, Wendy over The Gratefulist, totally has it down and her recent emails have been totally inspiring! Check out her 2 recent posts about 6 mistakes you might be making while practicing gratitude (and how to avoid them) and 6 alternatives to writing a gratitude list (for when gratitude is not just your thing). These are definitely ones to save! So the creative…
