Summer is supposed to end on September 21, but for me, this season is over. Someday I'll write about this experience, sharing the bits that helped me come to terms with so much.

Upward and onward...

came across an email i sent a friend 2 years ago: "anytime i break form, i find there’s almost zero tolerance for anything different/innovative. i trust the audience enough that they’ll see what i’m trying to do, but the editors do not."

cheers to breaking form and making shit happen your own way.

Always, Heidi! 💖 Thank you. Navigating 2025 with grace is not for the weak; that's for sure.

Life went 0 to 100 quick, with no signs of stopping.

The Media's Pivot to AI Is Not Real and Not Going to Work AI is not going to save media companies, and forcing journalists to use AI is not a business model.

This is my favorite piece yet on the state of AI & journalism. “The only journalism business strategy that works […] is if you create something of value that people (human beings, not bots) want to read or watch or listen to, and that they cannot find anywhere else.”

🥂 I'll take all the wins, all 2025!

Tech is in shambles! 9K is wild.

The hoedacity of this man.

Met with @ferncxandcrm.com for a coffee chat yesterday, and the vibes were immaculate. Highly recommend making time to meet with your biz friends one-on-one, even if it's virtually. Makes networking and community building a breeze!

A Note From The Universe Do you think anyone else could really shortchange you, physically or emotionally, without placing the world in your debt?And don't you think that all such debts must be repaid in this magical, mystica...

Good Morning, mi gente! ☕ Today's was hits 👇🏼

I spoke to the Updraft team, and hopefully, they've sorted out the issues they were having. I'm grandfathered into a very old plan. We'll see how it goes.

Being grateful and kind is HIGHLY underrated.

📌 Reminder: You get what you give.

I agree! & Thank you 🙏🏼

I'm on a rampage with client work + internal projects. I totally get it! 💖

👇🏼 Niche subs are fantastic.

Great work doll! 🔥 I love how it turned out.

Oh and I saw you're reading The Pumpkin Plan. It's my favorite business book, ever. I add it to my welcome gift box for new retainer clients. It's fantastic. Let me know what you think when you're done.

I will ask her! Thank you 🤗

I'm with Siteground. I like the okay, but it's like finance. I don't like my backup with my host or my domains with my host. I like to diversify. ☺️

No, I don't use Jetpack. It's bloaty to me. I try to run the site with as few plugins as possible. Also, we need to schedule a coffee chat. Will email you on Monday 💖

Looking for a new backup service provider for WordPress.

Since their name change, TeamUpdraft (UpdraftPlus) has been a nightmare, and because I like to keep this separate from my host, I'm looking to move.

Recommendations, anyone?

If crafting is your jam, here's the 🔗 to check out the new collection. Like I said, I'm obsessed! #SSSUnitedWeCraft

Currently obsessed with the new "Pawsitively" ink trio from Simon Says Stamps. The colours are giving #SoVerveHQ in the best way.

I've been busy in the batcave, but this is welcoming news for a city that gave me all the things I love most. 💖

Did they just sue OpenAI? 👀
