With the the holidays approaching, do you feel the pressure to perform approaching too? Whether you're hosting the fam at your place, cooking your grandma's classic Thanksgiving dish, or having a huge small biz sale--sometimes the pressure is just off the charts, right? Well, before you work yourself into a tizzy, please please please hear this: YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN ENOUGH. It doesn't matter if you're house is spotless, your dish is a disaster or your sale tanks (which I hope none of these things happen, by the way), you are still worthy of love and respect. You are doing amazing things every single day, so give yourself a little credit and take a deep breath. You don't have to prove yourself here. Nope. I'll take you just as you are because who you are is already so much more than enough, you don't need to be anything else@ . . . . . #youbelong #youbelongtoo #belongmagazine #belongmag #mycreativebiz #communityovercompetition #savvybusinessowner #beingboss #risingtidesociety #tnchustler #creativityfound #creativepreneur #dreamersanddoers #gritandvirtue #creativeentrepreneur #femaleentrepreneur #girlboss #creativelifehappylife #theeverygirl #womeninbusiness #pursuepretty #bosslady #hustlewithease #dowhatyoulove #thatsdarling #makersgonnamake #bloomyellow #societygal #createcultivate #goaldigger
Do you like to exercise or would you rather stay in bed? I want to want to exercise.

Finish this sentence: "Home is...." ISSUE 13 has the theme "home" with the content all wrapped around that idea--"Home Sweet Homepage", "Laying Out the Welcome Mat", "Bringing Home the Bacon", "On the House: Freebies + Opt-Ins", and beyond. Did you know that you can download a complimentary copy of ISSUE 13 on our website? Yep! THE WHOLE THING! The link is in the bio, of course! . . . . . #youbelong #youbelongtoo #belongmagazine #belongmag #mycreativebiz #communityovercompetition #savvybusinessowner #beingboss #risingtidesociety #tnchustler #creativityfound #creativepreneur #dreamersanddoers #gritandvirtue #creativeentrepreneur #femaleentrepreneur #girlboss #creativelifehappylife #theeverygirl #womeninbusiness #pursuepretty #bosslady #hustlewithease #dowhatyoulove #thatsdarling #makersgonnamake #bloomyellow #societygal #createcultivate #goaldigger
Let's talk a bit about comparison. Do you struggle with it? C'mon, let's be honest--I think we all deal with it to a degree. And not all comparison is bad! Sometimes looking around at others can help you refine your processes, push yourself, find ways to collaborate, etc... But beware of the dangers when comparison distracts you form your purpose. This quote is from @bobgoff who recently released a new book that I'm currently reading--Everybody Always. It's all about loving people. Such a good read. . . . . . . #youbelong #youbelongtoo #belongmagazine #belongmag #mycreativebiz #communityovercompetition #savvybusinessowner #beingboss #risingtidesociety #tnchustler #creativityfound #creativepreneur #dreamersanddoers #gritandvirtue #creativeentrepreneur #femaleentrepreneur #girlboss #creativelifehappylife #theeverygirl #womeninbusiness #pursuepretty #bosslady #hustlewithease #dowhatyoulove #thatsdarling #makersgonnamake #bloomyellow #societygal #createcultivate #goaldigger
Deep breath, and just take the next step. Do you ever say this to yourself? I find this to be repeated over and over and over in my journal. When I feel like the list of things is too long to handle or I just don't know what to do or maybe how I'm going to do anything at all, I find myself saying, "Just take a deep breath and focus on the next step."⠀ ⠀ Just the next step, and then the next, and then the next, and then the next. ⠀ ⠀ If that's all your mind can handle right now, that's ok! Just take a deep break and the next step. ⠀ ⠀ You've got this!⠀ .⠀ Image from a branded photoshoot for @glassladder ⠀ Creative direction and styling: @ronyaandco⠀ Photography: @rewphotos⠀ .⠀ Oh & checkout that awesome Goal Digger Candle while your at it :) made by @jarmendjai (📷 @ronyaandco via @latermedia )⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #youbelong #youbelongtoo #belongmagazine #belongmag #mycreativebiz #communityovercompetition #savvybusinessowner #beingboss #risingtidesociety #tnchustler #creativityfound #creativepreneur #dreamersanddoers #gritandvirtue #creativeentrepreneur #femaleentrepreneur #girlboss #creativelifehappylife #theeverygirl #womeninbusiness #pursuepretty #bosslady #hustlewithease #dowhatyoulove #thatsdarling #makersgonnamake #bloomyellow #societygal #createcultivate #goaldigger
I'm feeling grateful that though we are surrounded, the fires are all a safe distance away. However, I'm at a saddened by devastation and destruction that is happening around me. Are you feeling helpless too? How can we find ways that will even come close to touching the pain and loss that so many are experiencing?⠀ ⠀ See the below post from @rachel_allene who has been living through this along with so many others provides just that. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to do something tangible to help women just like ourselves--women with small businesses, women with families, women with homes and pets and memories.... ⠀ .⠀ Please consider purchasing this beautiful print to help evacuees and relief efforts. ⠀ .⠀ At a loss for words to describe life right now. A community right next to ours was completely destroyed by wildfire and the fire is still raging. People are missing. Friends have lost absolutely everything. So much heartache. We are out of town because of such awful air quality for our little one and taking everything hour by hour. It’s weird and shocking and tragic and I feel so deeply for those who have lost it all. With such devastation in my face, it’s impossible to even think about work. I’m sorry if you won’t be getting your order as soon as normal, we will go home as soon as we can. I was supposed to be flying to North Carolina tomorrow to be a panel group leader at @creativeatheart and have decided to stay with my family. IF YOU WANT TO HELP: you can get this print for $10 in my shop and 100% of proceeds are going to help the evacuees and relief efforts. And 15% of all physical products will be donated. Please share if you’d like. The devastation is unreal. #campfire #woolseyfire⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #youbelong #youbelongtoo #belongmagazine #belongmag #mycreativebiz #communityovercompetition #savvybusinessowner #beingboss #risingtidesociety #tnchustler #creativityfound #creativepreneur #dreamersanddoers #gritandvirtue #creativeentrepreneur #femaleentrepreneur #girlboss #creativelifehappylife #theeverygirl #womeninbusiness #pursuepretty #bosslady #hustlewithease #dowhatyoulove #thatsdarling #makersgonnamake #bloomyellow
Canon AE1. It was my dad's, but it was the first camera I used to really learn photography. And, yes, it had REAL FILM that I rolled myself into little canisters. I know some of you may have NO idea what I'm talking about. BUT, I will tell you that there was something magical about the darkroom and crafting paper prints by hand. ⠀ ⠀ This is why I'm committed to creating a print publication. There is just something about the physicality of it--the smooth, satin finish of the cover; the smell of the ink on the page, the flutter of the flipping pages. ⠀ ⠀ You can still snag a copy of our latest issue in print! Check your local Barnes & Noble or better yet, subscribe and never miss an issue again (or any of the free goodies we send with it)! We now offer subscriptions outside of the US (shipping charges apply). ⠀ ⠀ Click the link in our bio to subscribe now!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #youbelong #youbelongtoo #belongmagazine #belongmag #mycreativebiz #communityovercompetition #savvybusinessowner #beingboss #risingtidesociety #tnchustler #creativityfound #creativepreneur #dreamersanddoers #gritandvirtue #creativeentrepreneur #femaleentrepreneur #girlboss #creativelifehappylife #theeverygirl #womeninbusiness #pursuepretty #bosslady #hustlewithease #dowhatyoulove #thatsdarling #makersgonnamake #bloomyellow #societygal #createcultivate #goaldigger
