a website & community for women who write & blog
Is it just me or has this week seemed never ending. I thought it was Thursday two days ago!
My husband says he thinks last week’s presidential election destroyed the space-time continuum. And I think he’s right.
It’s weeks like these when I need to fill my mind with as much inspiration and affirmation as I can.
Here are five of my favorite mantras that help get me hard days and weeks that never seem to end:
Karla Khodanian is my social media superhero.
Last night Karla led a workshop on Snapchat for the women of See Jane Write. I’ve said before that Snapchat is not my jam. For years I resisted even downloading the app because I thought it was just something teens used for sexting and even after I did sign up for an account I never used it because everyone I knew only used it make goofy pictures.
The theme of this year’s Blogalicious Weekend, which I attended earlier this month, was “Content is Life.”
To be honest, even though I thought the theme was catchy I wasn’t quite sure what it meant. Yes, we all know that if you’re a blogger producing great content (and getting that content in front of the right people) is the key to success, but could this theme mean something deeper?
I’m a girl who gets things done. When I set my mind to do something, I do it.
Most of the time.
Regardless of your political beliefs, I am sure the past week has been emotional and stressful for you with social media feeds being filled with so much strife and discord. I was fortunate enough to spend Wednesday evening celebrating the release of a See Jane Write member’s first book. I shared this good news with you last week hoping it would lift your spirits, too. But I know it’s pretty impossible to just go back to business as usual.
So don’t.
