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…

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.

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).

So that happened… (how to remember that you ARE successful when it sure doesn’t feel that way)
Ever had something just go horribly wrong and all you could think of was : “So… that just happened”? Yup, check. Feel like you’re stuck in a rut and not making any progress besides maybe deeper?

Crescent Moon and Stars Relaunch
Buy me some flowers and take me to dinner, Crescent Moon and Stars is a month old! In celebration, there has been a major facelift and a relaunch! I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has supported me in my endeavors of getting Crescent Moon and Stars from an idea to launching May 10th (1 day after getting back from vacation… hindsight man… haha) and tweaking things. I would particular like to thank Raewyn at Be A Warrior Queen, Allie at Allie Williams Co., to everyone who participated in Alle’s The Daily Ten challenge (BIG shoutout to the_a_team), Emilie at Burke Does and Wendy at The Gratefulist.…

Gratitude Attitude
It’s June 1st (who can believe it already?! Didn’t we just celebrate New Years, St. Patty’s and Easter? Now school is out?!) and the year is halfway over. It’s that time of year where I look at where I was in the beginning of the year, reflect on what progress (or lack of progress) I’ve made, look at contributing factors and re-evaluate the goals I’d set out for this year. I’m not gonna ask you how your resolutions are going (I do goals vs. resolutions, but yeah, I’m right there with ya…), but I have a different question to ask you. When you hear the word gratitude, what do you see?…
