And we're back with another Weekly Journal! This week's topic is being grateful. Make sure you read last week's journal: Taking Risks: Weekly Journal I am so grateful for everything in my life.

Cheers to taking risks because we love these, right? Last week was all about getting into the habit of planning content ( Weekly Journal: Content Planning) and I must say, it worked!

Many creatives and many other professions recommend doing it, and I'm ashamed to say it took me this long to start. But, better late than never. ... Read more

It can stem from verbal abuse, low self esteem or from being coy. Sometimes we can be ... Read more
So, you're on a budget? Being on a budget can be both life-changing and challenging.

Either way, there's a limit on what you can and can not spend. To some ... Read more
Visiting The Morton Arboretum A few days ago, I visited the Morton Arboretum. An experience I recommend for people who want to disappear from the City noises. If you aren't familiar with the Morton Arboretum, it's like an outdoor museum in Lisle, Illinois. It's miles long of nature and beautiful sculptures. One of the best places to visit in Illinois if you're a photographer, blogger, or videographer. Actually, even if you aren't one of those, you don't want to miss being in ... Read more

Sparkling ICE Review!*This is not a sparkling ice sponsored post. My family and I genuinely love this beverage company and the majority of their flavors* I grew up in a household where children could only drink water and juice. Sometimes we could have a can of pop or two, but only during parties or if it came with our restaurant orders. When you're a child, all you think about is sugar. You don't want to drink anything but sweet beverages. I'm actually glad my mom didn't allow my ... Read more
