I know it’s still the middle of August, but Back to School is everywhere!
As a teacher, I love back to school season. Freshly sharpened pencils. Brand new notebooks ready to be filled with ideas and inspiration. Unblemished 3-ring binders with fresh sheet protectors and color-coded index tabs…
But so much of back to school season focuses on our children ~ their supplies, their schedules, their emotional transitions. And those are important.
But so are YOU!
Your growth, your learning, your abundance and love are what help to sustain you and your family.
So for this back to school season, consider taking an e-course just for you, to help you live with abundance and purpose.
{And if there’s something I love more than back-to-school, it’s finding discounts on back-to-school! Both of these courses have discount promotions right now, which is why I wanted to share them with you today.}
The Abundant Mama Project
{with Shawn Fink}
“This is it. Your life flashing before you … during every diaper change, every load of laundry, every boo-boo and every homework battle. You are so busy. And yet you know there’s more to life — that being there alongside your kids is important. There’s just not enough hours in the day. The Abundant Mama Project will give you those gentle nudges you need to open your eyes, pay attention to the little details of your life and focus on what matters.” {From abundantmama.com}
Doesn’t that sound amazing?
And I am excited to announce that I am joining this project as a contributor this fall!
During this five-week e-course, you will receive weekly emails with inspiration, journal prompts, and challenges to help you wake up to the beauty of your life. My contribution is all about helping you develop a gratitude practice ~ for yourself and for your family.
The Abundant Mama Project helps you: Deepen your parenting experience. Find new ways to see magic in your daily life. Elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary. Add sparkle to the mundane. Focus on the shimmery goodness of your life. Discover your peaceful center. Learn to love and appreciate your life more {From abundantmama.com}
Early bird pricing for the Abundant Mama Project runs through September 1st. You can learn more at Shawn’s website ~ and check out the option for the Abundant Mama Peace Circle ~ a new feature of this course this year!
How to Build A Blog You Truly Love
{with Liv Lane}
If you talked to me for more than 5 minutes at BlogHer, I probably recommended this course to you! I took Liv’s class in the spring, as I was just starting my blog, and it is fantastic!
If you’ve been blogging for years, but feel you need to reenergize your blog with passion and purpose ~ this class is for you! And if you’re just thinking about starting a blog, but don’t really know where to begin ~ this class is for you!
Liv guides you through the most important components of blogging ~ finding your purpose, writing with your authentic voice, creating a blog design that reflects YOU, how to promote and even monetize your blog without feeling slimy, how to use various social media outlets to your best advantage, and how to find your blogging tribe. And that’s just the beginning.
“Warning! This is not your typical blogging course, full of technical jargon and pressure to do things “right.” This course is designed to be a gentle but invigorating shot in the arm, devoted to helping you be perfectly happy with your blog vs. doing everything perfectly. We cover a lot of ground, from diving deep into the purpose of your blog to exploring your authentic voice to attracting your ideal readers. It’s a soul-stirring, heart-thumping, community-building journey with me {Liv Lane} and 18 AMAZING contributors.”
{From livlane.com}
And they are amazing contributors: Amanda Oaks. Katherine Stone. Kelly Rae Roberts. Andrea Scher. And more…
This course is a 6-week course ~ each weekday, content will be uploaded to a private online classroom. And at the end of the course you get a 350+ page PDF of ALL the course content!
Build a Blog You Truly Love also has a private Facebook group for you to connect with fellow bloggers. I met some amazing bloggers in this course, and we still connect through our Facebook group for support and guidance.
And Liv is also a dear childhood friend of mine ~ she’s fantastic. And so is this course! You can learn more here.
And just through tomorrow, August 16th {5pm central time} you can save 30% off the registration fee with the code EARLYBIRD. That means you get the entire course for just $90!
*****
I hope you can find time during the craziness of Back to School season to take time to pause, breathe, and focus on yourself. Whether it is through these courses, or just a quiet cup of coffee in the morning. Because self-care is not selfish!
“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.” Buddha
