Happy Halloween! For Baby Dylan's first Halloween costume, he will be Yoda. Not Baby Yoda. YODA. The OG. It's the cutest darn thing you ever did see! This has been a month full of miracles! The first, our official adoption of Baby Dylan! The second, the official release of my new organizing book, Reclaim Your Space with G.R.A.C.E. I want to say a heartfelt thank you to those who bought and left a review for Reclaim Your Space with G.R.A.C.E. Your support—through your purchases, reviews, messages, and shares—has made a HUGE difference. Week 1 of my book launch is complete and let me tell you, I'm shocked at the success! Today, I'm ENJOYING that as of 10-31-2025 the book has almost hit 2 major milestones: ✨ The book has almost sold 50 copies! Which is awesome for a self-published book. ✨ The book has almost 20 reviews! Just need 3 more!!! If you haven't done your's yet, please do. It still makes a big difference as the Amazon rankings and status for a new released book take into account the first 30 days. But, in reality, anytime is good. If it's a year from now, still amazing. Still extremely helpful. ✨ The book almost hit the Top 10 in the Hoarding Category for a couple of days last week! (It was #11.) ✨ The book is attracting fun podcasts for me to be on...stay tuned! What's next for the book? I watched a YouTube video the other day by Selfpublishing.com founder, Chandler Bolt, and he talks about looking at a launch as a one-year launch. And that's what I'm doing. Just because the actual book release date has passed, I'm still in this—for the next year! Building a grassroots movement via podcasts, speaking gigs, and your word of mouth referrals. With that said, if you listen to any smaller podcasts that you think this book should be on, reply and let me know! I'm building my backlog podcast list now. If you know of any upcoming women's events or faith-based seminars that need a speaker and you think my book would resonate with the attendees, reply and let me know that too! Did you purchase the book? ✨If so and would like to be a part of my new, revamped private Facebook group, reply to this email with a pick of the receipt or you with the book. I'm excited to connect with readers and course takers in this way.
The Holidays! Today is Halloween, which means the holiday season officially starts. Woohoo. Can I put up my Christmas decorations now? As I reflect on October, this month was extremely hard and stressful, and yet amazing. It's been filled with more joy than I could ever imagine possible. Even now, I'm tearing up that I officially have a son and that so many of you came to celebrate a few weekends ago. My heart is overflowing. I've been living in an unofficial limbo (everyone said our adoption was a slam dunk), but in the current world we live in, you never know. And, I'll be honest, my home shows it. So does my body. My physical body is still in fight or flight mode from the whole fertility + adoption experience. (Cue a much needed session with Glennda!) My mother-in-law watched Baby Dylan this am (THANK YOU!), which allowed me space to start re-setting my home for permanence. He's here. Permanently. My body, my soul, and my home can officially rest and enjoy the holidays. I'm the rare creature that actually enjoys tidying my home, cleaning the dishes, putting things away in the systems I've made for organizational ease. It's a stress release for me. When my home is in order I can think. I can process. I can allow space for my body to let go of stress. It gives me room to breathe. That's what I want for this holiday season. Amongst the parties, the shopping, the cooking and baking—I want to practice what I preach. I want to declutter, revisit my organizing systems (because I know some will need to change now that there's a new man in town), take in healthy, meditative breathes, pray and enjoy THIS holiday season. My first as a new mom. A true, modern-day miracle. "However motherhood comes to you, it's a miracle."

Don’t forget your soul this holiday season. I have a 9-month-old at home, a husband recovering from major back surgery, a business to run, a book to market, and 2026 to plan so I don’t get left in the dust by AI. Today it hit me.Like a freight train.Overwhelming tiredness. This time, I actually took a nap when my little sweet pea did. Every year I plan to slow down during this season because it’s my absolute favorite. But then Black Friday deals happen… and that gets my head spinning about my...
Early Black Friday Sales! Who doesn't love a good sale! This time of year, I do pay attention to businesses and products that actually offer a good deal for Black Friday. Normally, I purchase a couple of business deals and one or two personal deals for myself that help me move my business and personal goals forward at a price that doesn't break the bank. I've done a little digging for you... and here are some really good Early Black Friday Deals*! (*for anything related to Amazon or Dubsado,...
Hi beautiful friend, I'm still on a high after my new book reached the #1 slot on 11-12-25 on Amazon in the Christian Self-help category!!! It was so unexpected and thrilling! Thank you all for your love and support. I also recorded a podcast too (coming out next year) and have several in the cue. Good stuff is happening! But what you really want to know, though, is how to better organize and get ready for the holidays. Every year around this time, I see the same thing happen inside my own...
