And that’s why I chose to outsource cutting the grass. First off, the lawnmower broke. And even when it was working, I definitely did not want to get out there and push it.
 
I’m SO much better at writing, graphics, and coming up with ideas. 

The next thing I would want to outsource is writing cards to people for birthdays, holidays, etc. I always forget and if I get someone to do this for me, then they may be better at it than me.
 
What about you… what job would you like to outsource?
Workin’ hard or hardly working? For the weekend, Workin’ hard or hardly working? For the weekend, I definitely vote for hardly working!
 
This weekend, we plan to go to a movie premiere. My daughter was cast as the younger version of the lead role. And I was cast as an extra with a one-liner. We get to see ourselves in the movie premiere this weekend.
 
Give yourself permission to take the weekend off, if you can. 
 
So, let’s decide... What are you doing this weekend?
👍 Netflix binge (share what show in the comments)
❤️ Idk, probably stay up late and sleep in later
😆 Catch up on books piling up on my nightstand
😯 Weekend… what weekend?
It’s Thursday, folks, which means there’s ligh It’s Thursday, folks, which means there’s light at the end of the tunnel! And speaking of light, one of my favorite quotes is from the King himself. 
 
Meeting negativity with negativity usually doesn’t get you very far. 
 
Isn’t there another saying about catching more bees with honey than vinegar? It’s the same idea.
 
That’s the way we always try to approach situations. With honey. With light. With love. 
 
But I PROMISE it’s not as easy as it sounds! It takes practice and strength to approach a negative situation with a positive attitude.
 
When you’re having a tough moment or a rough day, what helps you turn it around? How can you find the positive -- and stay positive? How do you get a result you’re proud of?

Do you have a morning routine or are you more of t Do you have a morning routine or are you more of the ‘roll out of bed and start the day in a daze’ type instead? 
 
Well, if you do have a morning routine, I’m lookin’ at you! 
 
I've started exercising in the morning, drinking a smoothie, and taking supplements my naturopathic doctor prescribed to me to start my day. 
 
So far this has helped to reduce my tiredness.
 
What’s your routine? And most importantly: Coffee or smoothie? (Give us a 👍 for coffee or a ❤️ for smoothie in the comments.)

Know what I struggle with sometimes? Letting other Know what I struggle with sometimes? Letting others’ imaginations limit me. 
 
When someone else thinks that something is impossible, or too hard, or worse, tells me that I can’t do something, it’s easy to believe it. 
 
It plays directly into my fear that maybe it won’t work out anyway. 

But something inside me tells me that it CAN work! Most of the time if I get an intuitive hit to do something, it CAN work.
 
I’m here to remind you (just as much as I need to remind myself) that no one is allowed to set your limitations except YOU. 

Agreed? 
 
Glad we’re all on the same page now.  So follow through when you have an intuitive thought about something!

You know that feeling when you see someone else’ You know that feeling when you see someone else’s post on social, and you’re like “that’s so cool?” And then the wheels in your head start spinning, and you start comparing yourself to others? Yeah, me, too 🙂 
 
When you start getting more and more into social media, it’s a ridiculously easy thing to do.
 
And we all do it.
 
It’s a rabbit hole that leads to feeling like we have to do better... be better... be more like this person or that account. It took me a long time to pull myself out of that trap. And I can honestly say that it feels better to just truly be myself. 
 
No one else can be you. 
 
Remember that when you start the comparison game. And remind yourself of every single thing YOU have to be grateful for instead.

For a long time, women have been denied credit for For a long time, women have been denied credit for their accomplishments, their hard work, their contributions. Virginia Woolf hit the nail on the head when she pointed out “anonymous” was often a woman.
 
I’m feeling really grateful that women are not only *acknowledged* for their work and their talents more than ever before, but they are also *celebrated* and given the credit they deserve! Women are paving the way for other women to have a voice, to take charge and to take credit. 
 
What’s something you’re grateful for today that may not have been possible in the past?

Something I work really hard to get better and bet Something I work really hard to get better and better at as I grow is establishing boundaries. 
 
It’s not always easy. 
 
Sometimes it sucks to say “no” because I want to do everything and please everyone. But it’s been SUPER HELPFUL for me to set boundaries so I can focus more on the things I love to do. 
 
One thing I used to do but stopped because, frankly, it didn’t bring me joy was working as a VA. It’s as simple as that. Boundaries don’t have to be in place only for major reasons. Sometimes the power of saying “no” to something simply because it’s not enjoyable for you is a hard won victory. 
 
It’s okay to say, “NOPE. I’m not going to do that anymore.” Best part: you don’t even need a reason.
 
What’s something you can work on saying ‘no’ to in the near future that just doesn’t bring you joy?

Psssttt… I have a secret to share with you: Big Psssttt…

I have a secret to share with you: Big wins don’t happen in one big step.

I’m sure you’re like "Yeah. Duh. Thanks..." but I truly think a lot of people don’t think about this enough.

If you’re super into cliches, here’s one that applies: Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Progress means little, obtainable steps and tackling small goals every single day. It also means making promises to yourself that you KNOW you can and will keep, so that you start building a foundation of trust to continue your progression.

For example, don’t say "I’m going to change my website by next week." Instead, break it down into tinier, reachable goals like: I'm going to set up a staging/demo site, add a new theme and create the home page.

Now it’s your turn. Is there one, small thing you can do for yourself today that creates a little bit of progress toward your big goal?
As much as I like to believe otherwise, not everyt As much as I like to believe otherwise, not everything is always sunshine and butterflies and rainbows. 
 
While I always try to focus on silver linings and find ways to promote happiness, productivity and growth, I/we know it’s okay to have days where you’re winning just by staying in bed in a dark room with Netflix. 
 
You’re here and hopefully you’re working towards something that makes you happy. And that’s what matters most. 
 
On rough days, I find some of the most helpful things to get me through include taking a walk in nature and doodling on my iPad.
 
What helps pull you out of a funk?
This year, I’m working really hard to save money This year, I’m working really hard to save money for a downpayment on a house. I realized I'm not ready to buy a house yet, but I'm working to save money towards one.

There. I put it out there for the world to see.

So now I have to do it.

Ever struggle with reaching the goals you’ve set? Here’s a trick I like to use to get any of the doubts out of my mind.

Think of a goal you have for the year, and try it with me, okay?

Ready? Great.

Think of every single reason it might not work and write it on a piece of paper. Get it out of your mind now. Crumple up that piece of paper and throw it in the trash (or burn it if you’re feeling really sassy).

Now that that’s out of the way, continue toward your goal anyway. Cool? Cool.

Empowered women empower women empower women empowe Empowered women empower women empower women empower women. It’s a ripple effect, truly. 
 
I love hearing stories of women who SUPPORT women. 
 
During the launch of A Cup of Zen, I've had a bunch of wonderful women support me, and all of them (Kelly, Shawn, Angela, Rayven, Ruthie, Jenn, Nicole, Tara, and more) showed their support. They've encouraged me and helped me find my direction in business, product creation, technical issues, and encouragement!
 
I think the encouragement was always the most important thing to me. It kept me going with a kind word!
 
I’ve never forgotten that experience. It made a lasting impact. And it continues to be a ripple in my supportive efforts today. 
 
What’s a powerful experience of women supporting women that sticks with you?

We’re kicking this week off with International W We’re kicking this week off with International Women’s Day, followed by some pretty powerful quotes and motivation the rest of the week. You ready? 
 
We’ll start here: Who’s one of the most inspirational women in your life?

Optional: When I started A Cup of Zen, I really looked up to Angels Wills. She really inspired me to go for it and launch my products.
 
Today (and frankly every other day), I'm super grateful for women who paved the way––and continue to do so––for me/us to be where I am today.

Have you ever made a decision based on what other Have you ever made a decision based on what other people will think? (If you answered “no” and realllllyyyy meant it, consider me impressed… but for most of us, I’ll bet the answer is “UHHH, OF COURSE.” 😬 )
 
Was it the right decision? 
 
Sometimes we get stuck stressing about what other people will think and allow it to affect our behavior. I know I have. I offered healing and psychic services to a group of ladies from a church before. 

This was several years ago. One of them said it was the work of the devil, but when I learned how to do healing, I believe it was the work of Jesus when he was alive. I believe that anything that brings healing to a person, that helps them and opens their eyes to the goodness of life is of God, not of the devil. 

And I let her comments get to me for a long time, but I didn't let it stop me at all.
 
But take the wise, wise words of Eleanor Roosevelt to heart: You’re probably just going to get criticized anyway. 
 
So why not choose to do what’s in your heart?
 
It’s time to rid yourself of that guilt and fear of ruffling feathers. Share what you’re thinking, be bold, do what others say you can’t… ✊🏿✊✊🏾

You know what the very first step to doing just ab You know what the very first step to doing just about anything is? Truly believing you can do it. That’s it. 
 
Mapping out the plan doesn’t come first. Investing in the (whatever) doesn’t come first. You don’t even have to take the first step… you just have to BELIEVE in yourself. 
 
Yeah, we hear you... That’s cheesy AF. 🧀
 
But it’s true! 
 
If you’re not your own biggest advocate, if you don’t trust yourself, pump yourself up and believe in yourself, you’re fighting an uphill battle. Do one thing for me today––believe in yourself, k?

Are you an early bird or a night owl? Ever sinc Are you an early bird or a night owl? 
 
Ever since I was little, I was always an early bird and a night owl, so my day typically starts when the sun comes up but my energy is highest when it's night time. Day time is really the time I feel most productive and can really focus. I get emails, product creation, course outlines, and reports done.
 
Then nighttime is my relax and do stuff I enjoy time.
 
So, which one are you? Maybe you’re a total night person, and you can’t even function until you’ve had your morning cup of coffee. Or maybe you’re bright-eyed at 6 a.m. and ready to start your day. 
 
I’d love to know more about you! Share your routine with me in the comments. 👇
Let’s do a quick check in: Is there something yo Let’s do a quick check in: Is there something you are afraid to do? Does fear hold you back? Be honest and ask yourself what exactly that fear is. 
 
Okay, now what would happen if you decided to do the thing that scares you anyway? You’d probably survive. And, if we’re being honest about it, chances are it probably won’t be nearly as difficult as you imagined. At the very least, you’d know you tried, you learned something along the way, and you can pick yourself back up and move on to the next thing. 

Although fear can sometimes serve an important purpose, it often exists as an obstacle. 

The first time I put out a product, I was scared. But I did it anyway and my imagination took over. Now I am happily building a community.

I also say those 1 euro houses for sale in Italy and I thought about buying one, but it's scary. But why not? It might be a great decision. I'll have to think more on it.

Don’t let being afraid stop you from living a life that sets your soul on fire. Wade into discomfort. Do the thing you keep avoiding. And stop letting fear be your excuse.
