"Don’t be afraid to change. You may lose something good but you may gain something better." ~Unknown
Happy Spring!! Even though the weather is still a bit chilly here in Chicago, I love this time of year. The sun is out more and seriously there is nothing like natural vitamin D to make me just feel warmer and happier inside. I'll be making a big change in a couple weeks (more on that soon!) but I feel like change is in the air right now and people are leaning more into who they are and how best they can show up in the world.
I'm still recovering from the craziness that is bronchitis which is forcing me to listen to my body and take care of myself. I've also realized that a cup of green tea is becoming a favorite part of my wind-down routine as a signal to my brain that it is time for bed.
What I’m loving right now:
Lazy Guide to Affiliate Marketing Bootcamp. This title is great. I loved the 90-minute video course which is now being turned into a bootcamp. Super simple tips and ideas to up my affiliate game. Liz is also adding two co-working hours where you can spend time working on affiliate stuff and get support. Starts on Monday, 3/26!
What I’m reading:
Sometimes I Lie. This was recommended to me by the Kindle app and the first words hooked me:
"My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me:
1. I’m in a coma.
2. My husband doesn’t love me anymore.
3. Sometimes I lie."
Dun-dun-dun. Eerie right? Right up my alley!
What I’m working on:
I would really like to get my website refreshed a bit before I do my side hustle workshop in Phoenix so I'm strategizing how best to do that: what things to change, how to message my new focus, and things. More soon!
On to the picks for the week!
