A Reason to Rejoice (today and every day)

Joy Can Be Yours Each and Every Day When You Make it Your Power Habit Hi Reader! Today is Easter Sunday — a day of celebration, renewal, and hope for millions around the world who observe it as a cornerstone of their faith. Whether you celebrate Easter or not, I hope you’ll take a moment today to pause, breathe, and rejoice in something beautiful about your life. Because the truth is, joy isn’t reserved for special occasions. It’s not something we have to earn or wait for. Joy is a practice. We can train ourselves to look for it in the quiet moments. In the sunshine on our face. In the sound of laughter, a message from a friend, the feeling of finishing something that mattered. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle. But especially as WFH entrepreneurs, we need these moments of intentional celebration — of delight — to stay grounded, grateful, and energized for the journey. So today, rejoice, and let joy be your power habit. Here's how:
Your Action Step this Week💛 Take a 2-minute joy pause. Close your eyes, put your hand on your heart, and name one thing you’re grateful for or one moment that made you smile this week. Bonus points if you share it with someone else!

Don’t Wait for a Big Event to Reach Out Hey Reader, Working from home can be empowering … but also a little isolating. And during summer — when people are vacationing, kids are home, and routines shift — it’s easy to fall into solo mode without even realizing it. That’s where this "trick" I discovered with milestones comes in ... Yes, we usually think of milestones as personal progress markers. But here’s a reframe: Milestones can be powerful prompts for connection, too. This week’s blog...
Celebrate More. Hustle Less Hey Reader, Ever seen a toddler take their first step? The room erupts. Clapping, cheering, maybe even tears. One tiny step … and we instinctively know it’s a big deal. But somewhere between baby steps and business plans, we stop celebrating progress like that. We wait for big milestones — the revenue leap, the launch, the polished result — and skip right past the smaller wins that actually get us there. This week, I want to challenge that.
