5 Summer Good Habits To Start Today
We’ve juuuuuust past the halfway mark of the year. Is it year shaping up the way you’d hoped it would? Have you stuck to any of the goals you made in January?
Honestly, this year has been pretty just-keeping-my-head-above-water. Between family stuff, tons of fun-but-incredibly-time-consuming travel, and the Trump administration, it’s all I can do to tick the items of my Every Damn Day List.
But the halfway point in the year is a great time to re-commit and develop one good habit that will get you a tiny bit closer to being the person you want to be. During the summer, days are longer, work pressure might be a bit lighter, and most of us are in slightly better moods.
What a great time to make a change!
Welcome to Yes & Yes!

You Have Permission To Be A Work In Progress
Here are some things that I’ve tried and failed: 1. Eating less dairy 2. Going completely screen-free after 6 pm 3. Not checking my email till noon 4. Eating every meal at my dining room table, with a place mat and napkin - never, ever in front of my laptop, scanning Facebook as I eat popcorn with a spoon …. and about a million other things. I’ve read articles and studies that support these...

How To Add Fascinating, Engaging Personality To Your Blog
Now, a giant disclaimer to start this post: I don't think I'm particularly fascinating. I do, however, think you are fascinating and when I can see your personality in your writing? I think that's pretty dang engaging. With that said, one of the sweetest things I hear about my writing is “I feel like I know you!” or “I feel like you’re just talking to me – it doesn't feel like reading!” (I think...
