Want a moon widget?

We were sitting on the curb at the local Family Dollar Store, waiting for a cab. My car had broken down. This was many years ago. It was myself and my four kids. My youngest son Mason was about 3 or 4 at the time. All of a sudden he stands up and goes running towards the door of Family Dollar. I was like, "What is he doing?" That's when I realized my adorable young son was trying to hold open the door for an elderly woman. It was just the cutest thing and I was like, "Oh my gosh, he's such a little gentleman." Well fast forward to today. It's his birthday. He is 24. (Quick hit reply and tell my son Happy Birthday! I'll pass it along to him.) Now the irony of this is that I had him when I was 30 and that's when it hit me. You see my birthday is next week and I've been telling everyone for an entire year that I'm 54! I'm not 54. I will be 54 next week so I might be the only woman who has made herself older. Anyhow that brings me to the point of this email. And that is how quickly a whole year can sneak up on you! How often have you found yourself saying, "I'll get to that [insert whatever idea] someday." Or, "I'll start that [insert whatever idea] when 'this' or 'that' happens." Will you really? Maybe. Or Maybe not. I am here to tell you what I always have told my kids. (and myself on many occasions)' BE LIKE NIKE! JUST DO IT! So, that's what I did. For what seems like FOREVER, I have been saying that I want to create astrology widgets for you. Ones that you can just paste some html on your website, blog, etc. Introducing the first one. It's a moon phases widget that will display what phase and zodiac sign the moon is in (in real time!) There's currently a light theme and a dark theme you can choose from. YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT RIGHT HERE Now, since you'll be one of the first to use it (I hope), please let me know if anything needs fixing. Oh and I almost forgot to tell you, I was a guest on Vickie Dickson's podcast, Unjaded! It was so much fun! She is such a gracious host. We talked about the intersection between business astrology AND Erotic Astrology! Have a listen to the episode.

Just the Tip Tuesday, and this week the tip is actually a thing I built. I added weekly business horoscopes to my website. Not the "Scorpio, watch your finances" kind. The actual, here's what this week's astrology means for your business decisions, your marketing timing, and your energy kind. Every week, broken down by what matters for solopreneurs and small business owners. Practical. Grounded. Zero crystal-shop vibes. If you've ever wondered whether there's a better week to launch...
Prefer to listen to this email? JUST CLICK HERE. About three weeks ago I started doing 10 squats every hour on the hour. Not because I suddenly became a fitness person. (I have not suddenly become a fitness person.) But because I read something about how sitting for long stretches is quietly terrible for you and I thought, "okay. Ten squats. I can do ten squats." That's approximately 40 seconds of my life per hour. Even I can manage that. So I set a timer. And then I ignored the timer for...
It started with a rabbit hole. I was doing what I do at 11pm when I should be sleeping (scrolling my phone, one eye open) and I landed on an article about crows. Apparently they're one of the smartest animals on the planet. (Like, unsettlingly smart. Problem-solving, holding grudges, recognizing faces smart.) And they love shiny objects. I don't know why I felt personally called by this information. But I did. So the next morning I grabbed a handful of Hamish and Angus's kibble, dropped in a...
