This week has been so long but thank God Mercury Retrograde is OVER. Did you feel the craziness too? I feel like it really did a number on my energy and mindset this time.
I came into the week feeling a high of my birthday party - it was great. Pizza, chicken and mini bundt cakes won the show. Also, there was dancing and sparklers. 🎉 Some pics here.
In other news, I wrote another blog post yay! It's in the picks below - all about being a morning person. Or not. Which are you?
I realized that it's much easier for me to write to you every Saturday than it is to put out a blog and I feel so much anxiety around that. Crazy right? I'm unpacking that some more, re-reading this, and am writing a blog post about it so stay tuned.
As for more good news, remember that time I failed at doing that whole Evernote Certified Consultant thing? Well, I applied for another program which turned out to be a better fit for me. Which I was also able to complete. 💪🏾 And I am now, drum roll please 🥁, an official Evernote Community Leader! What does this mean? I went through and completed the training, learned the ins and outs of Evernote, and I can now recommend versions for you based on your needs and help you use it in your life and side hustles. Still waiting on more information on what it all means but I'm super excited. If you use Evernote or want to use it but you're not sure how, hit reply and send me all of your questions. 😎
My inner introvert is screaming so I'm off to binge some Supernatural and zone out a bit. Have a great weekend!
On to the picks for the week!

The Only One In Here – Sarah Joy Shockey — medium.com
I almost cried at my desk reading this. The story told in pencil drawings, really shows the impact of the negative voice in our heads.
