Went for a hike in the woods yesterday to escape the relentless heat. Stopped by to see my majestic friend. It reminded me to keep looking for small moments of light when the world is dark. Hope this helps you too. #WritingCommunity #mentalhealthmatters #owls #5amwritersclub

View from my morning hike. A gentle reminder: Stop scrolling and get outside for a walk. You won’t regret it. 😉 #MentalHealthMatters #WritingCommunity #5amwritersclub #WeekendVibes

A series of storms rolled through yesterday. This photo was taken after the last one, on a walk. It’s a gentle reminder: everything is temporary. The sun will shine again. Keep going. ✍️ #WritingCommunity #5amwritersclub #photography #womenwriters #keepgoing #nofilter

Tomorrow is the third day of school cancellation due to snow and ice. This comes after two and a half weeks off for winter break. Kids - 3 Parents - 😑 Needless to say, I’m not being as productive with writing this week as a I hoped. 🥱 #momlife #writingcommunity #womenwriters #5amwritersclub

What I’m holding onto (IN) and letting go of (OUT) for 2025. What about you? #writingcommunity #womenwriters #5amwritersclub #writerslift #mentalhealthmatters

There something so peaceful about the snow early in the morning before the world wakes up. Wishing you a productive morning of writing ahead as we return to work. #goodmorning #snow #WritingCommunity #womenwriters #writersliftingwriters #mondayismonday #backtowork #5amwritersclub

Here’s my news… I’m proud to share my most raw and vulnerable essay yet and my first piece for Women’s Health magazine. I hope it reduces the stigma around talking about this taboo topic. Grateful for your support! #writingcommunity #womenwriters www.womenshealthmag.com/sex-and-love...

Big day tomorrow. I might not sleep. I’m superstitious so only good vibes please. Stay tuned…. 🤞🙏 #writingcommunity #womenwriters #5amwritersclub

The most interesting ideas for future pieces come to me when I’m doing mundane things like brushing my teeth or taking a walk. Allow yourself to disconnect from technology for a few minutes today. It might just spark an idea. 💡✍️ #writingcommunity #writinginspiration #womenwriters #5amwritersclub

Realized at 430 am that I forgot to move the elves. 👀 Left a surprise on the dining table for my kids to find when they wake up. 😀 Instead of going back to sleep, maybe I should just do some writing?? 🤔🥱 #momlife #elfontheshelf #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub
