I’ve decided I want to be a plant lady. Normally, I kill every plant that I touch. When my husband and I were dating, he got me a plant for my birthday. I thought it was so sweet that he went to the nursery and asked the lady what plant she would recommend for someone who was terrible at keeping plants. And then he bought one of the hardiest plants they had. And I killed that one too :/ But now I've decided that I want plants in my house. They're good for the soul and the lungs. And they're pretty. I could have waited until the New Year or another arbitrary milestone, but I started now instead. I repotted an aloe plant and a cactus that I haven’t watered in probably a year and picked up some spider plant babies from a friend to put in water until their roots are long enough to plant them. I will keep them alive! The point is: if there’s something you’ve been waiting to do or a person you’re wanting to become, don’t wait! Do it today. Do it right now. Do it scared. Do it happy. Just do it! #doitscared #doitnow #dontwait #wannabeplantlady #plantlady #anewleaf #copywriting #contentmarketing #contentwriting #smallbusiness #workathomemom
I grew up in Newark, OH. Population 46,050. And then went to college in Pittsburgh, PA. Population 325,932. After transferring to Ohio State, I finished my degree surrounded by tens of thousands of other students in Columbus, OH. Population 741,171. From there I moved to Portsmouth, VA. A town bursting at the seams with Navy personnel where I got my teaching degree. Population 95,684 My first teaching job was in Salmon, Idaho. Population 3,153. I now live in Northfield, WI. Population 645. Needless to say, opportunities for connecting with other entrepreneurs and copywriters are hard to come by. Enter LinkedIn and a whole new way to learn about business and connect with other people in my industry. I just posted about my experience getting acquainted with LinkedIn and all it has to offer.

I love space and the universe and the cosmos and the planets and the black holes. We’re so flipping small. And the universe is so flipping big. When things seem overwhelming or big or scary, I try to remember that in the grand scheme of things so little of this stuff matters. We’re still free to feel the full weight of the good and the bad things that happen to us, but sometimes remembering that we’re just little dots hurtling through space helps to keep things in perspective. I keep this picture as the background of my computer, so when I start to get overwhelmed, I can look at it and remember that everything will be ok or not...but in the history and future of the universe, it probably won’t matter. I make it a practice to look up at the stars as much as I can and even take my son out with me, and we talk about the moon and the stars. Also, Neil deGrasse Tyson just released a new book called Letters from an Astrophysicist that is on my to-read list as soon as I work through the two that I’m reading now! #theuniverse #perspective #lettersfromanastrophysicist #findyourplace #workspace #copywriting #contentwriting #contentmarketing #workathomemom #cosmicvertigo
I found this quote in You Are a Badass by Jennifer Sincero, and I loved it. Whether you are deciding to pursue a new marketing strategy, quit a job that you hate, or ask someone on a date, any leap requires you to lose sight of the shore. Doing something that’s worth it, really worth it, requires a level of discomfort that is really scary. But if you want to build the life that you want, it’s really important to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. I always say that the best decisions that I’ve ever made-choosing my first college, moving to Virginia and then Idaho, becoming a teacher, and most recently quitting my job as a teacher to stay home with my kids and pursue copywriting-have been the scariest moments of my life. There’s a tangible feeling of leaping, of setting sail and drifting further and further away from the shore that kept me safe and comfortable. But it’s something that I’ve become relatively comfortable with. Because I know that the fear and unknown is way better than settling with a life that’s just ok. So, take that leap. Implement the strategy. Quit that job. Ask him (or her) out. Set sail and see what amazing things come your way. #setsail #bigdecisions #getcomfortablebeinguncomfortable #copywriting #marketing #contentmarketing #youareabadass #taketheleap #enjoythejourney #motivation #inspiration #inspirational #quotes
I just read The Enlightenment of Bees by Rachel Linden. The book focused on the main character's quest to find her purpose in life. This quote came from the letter that Rachel wrote to the reader at the end of the book, and I just loved it. I don't think this necessarily means that you have to use your skills to save the world. But people have a lot of different pain points. Whether it's something that they want to do and can't figure out on their own or a problem they have that they need a product to solve. No matter how you go about it, using your skills and passions to help others means that you are affecting the world in a positive way! I sometimes struggle with the idea of content marketing and "selling" things, but in reality, content marketing helps people learn about the products and services that will make their lives better and help them make educated decisions! How can your passions meet and kiss the world's pain? #findingpurpose #purpose #findyourpassion #makeadifference #copywriting #freelance #freelancewriting #freelancetofreedom #copywriting #contentwriting #contentmarketing
I stopped at a coffee shop today ready to zone out, sip my coffee, and scroll mindlessly through Instagram. But for some reason my data and wi-fi were both out of commission. I sighed and set my phone down, resigned to people watching and sitting with my own thoughts when my eyes fell in the magazine on the coffee table in front of me. It was a local magazine that included an article I wrote! I didn't realize that it had come out. I scooped it up, eyes shining, and immediately found the piece that I wrote about a recently opened French pastry and coffee shop! It was a delight to write and gave me the opportunity to meet some amazing people doing wonderful things. It was a good reminder to keep my head up every now and then. #coffeeshop #perspective #published #freelancecopywriter #freelancetofreedom #writer #writersofinstagram #keepyourheadup
