"Every birthday is a gift. Every day is a gift." ~Aretha Franklin
Me and the girls had a fun Saturday last weekend trying to Save the White House as part of an escape room adventure. I think we could have succeeded with an extra 30-45 minutes. 😜 But all in all, it was a fun and different activity for us and we are already trying to plan our next escape.
This week has been harder than most. Our Queen is gone. It's amazing how you can feel so distraught over someone you never met but feel connected to. It's also amazing to see the outpouring of love for her. And the legacy she leaves behind. Rest in peace Ms. Aretha. It's a reminder to really be intentional about what we do while we are in this world. And how we will be remembered when we are gone. ❤️
I launched my new site last week and the feedback has been so positive. I also feel really good about this #sidehustle direction and thinking of ways to make it my own. On that topic, I'm excited to be doing my Side Hustle for the Soul workshop for the Uppercase Conference next month. It's a 2-week online FREE conference covering so many different topics about learning and growing your business. You can get more info and check out the sessions here.
On to the picks for the week!
