How old am I?
I feel about 98 right now. Not only did we decide to clean out an entire area of woods and weeds that has been neglected for coming up on 10 years, I also intended to spend 15 minutes on a few courses that needed catching up on.
Ahem, 15 minutes turned in to 15 hours.
I wish I was kidding.
I have a number of courses, some short and sweet, others long and expensive, that I have bought and finished about half…can anyone relate? I love learning and most of my expertise comes from classes, workshops, Googling and Pinterest however I have a nasty habit of 'collecting' courses.
Yesterday I realized I have 6 that
need to get finished…all legitimate knowledge I need to level up myself. I set my trusty cute egg timer (I have proof
here) and continued on the
RANK Method program by Hilltop Help focusing on website optimization and SEO.
The timer went off, yet instead of calmly backing away from my computer, I went down the freaking rabbit hole from hell that is my blog.
I finished one half of one module of one course. 🤦🏼♀️
However, I also sort of loved it. A cute little fact about me; I didn't go to college but did earn a one-year certificate in Web Design when HTML was still a language to learn. For reference, the final project for my Photoshop 101 class was to superimpose myself with a celebrity. Jack Nicholson and I looked very good together 20+ years ago. 😘
I LOVE designing web pages. I get in to a zone and have no idea what time it is (I finally looked at the clock at 1:24pm after starting at 6:20am), why my hips hurt so bad and how I end up looking like the Hunchback of Notre Dame when I finally do stand up.
And it's a nice little talent to have in my back pocket when I am mentoring new businesses clients and they are trying to figure it all out on their own. It's one of those: me ripping it out of their hands and saying, “Let me do that," in the nicest tone I can muster. It's easy for me, I love it and it puts me in a flow state. #win-win. I'm not sure my eyes, shoulders and hips would agree but I have a plan for that too.
I'll try to use my handy dandy timer tomorrow, but dang did I get a lot of website work done!

I liked this little Cherry On Top series from last week and since we don't celebrate ourselves enough, I'm going to continue the trend. I've got a ton to be thankful for from last week and so much to look forward to this week:
👩💼 The most amazing workshop on Money Mindset with 7 of the most inspiring, determined and amazing women I had the honor to be with last week. Still buzzing.
🎧 Another podcast interview with my homegirl Chanlie Leavitt who also happens to be my podcast producer. Her story is so inspiring. 💕
🍿 🎬 A staff movie outdoor movie night to celebrate and say goodbye to our seniors (sniff, sniff)
🦷 I get the first phase of my implant this week…ICYMI I have a missing adult tooth I tried to fill in myself with some weird shit from Amazon for my branding photos with
Courtney Terry…it was a whole thing. I just bit the bullet (not literally) and decided it was time to get it taken care of. Send me high vibes on Wednesday.
📖 Getting so much closer to launching a one-on-one coaching program. Stay tuned!
🌴 Chatted with family about a Christmas vacation.
👦 👧 🐐 The goats (Billy, Todd and Pancake) are all safe and sound in their pen. Only took us 5 strands of non-barbed wire and basket-weave fencing.
🦙 Richard, Wayne, Sam and Ralph are just as cute as ever.
The Creekside Scoop is all dried out and now we wait.
I hope you have the best Monday!
