I Think I Named a Chicken Yesterday

Some days are completely ordinary. And some days… not so much! Yesterday, my neighbor Becky pulled into my driveway in her buggy to say hello. Of course, I ran outside to see Jr., her giant Catahoula, and Tillie, her little Jack Russell. Then Becky casually asked, “Did you see my chicken?” “What chicken?” She pointed

You Don’t Have to Be Organized Before Hiring a Virtual Assistant

Most business owners assume they need to have everything perfectly organized before hiring a Virtual Assistant. The truth? It’s usually the opposite. One of the biggest reasons people hire a VA is that they don’t have enough time to get organized on their own. If you’ve been thinking, “Once I get caught up… then I’ll

When the Simple Solution was Right There All Along

Sometimes the simplest solution is the one that was already right in front of you. I’m a batcher by nature. If I can get something done ahead of time and checked off my to-list before the week even starts. That is my happy place. So, when I realized I had a client situation that didn’t

She Wanted a Blog. I Had Opinions. Then I Had to Apologize.

A client of mine already had a blog going. Just one post so far, but she had a plan. She had done her research and decided she wanted to write a new blog post every day for a couple of weeks on different topics to help bring traffic to her site through SEO. She knew

Three Wasps, a Fly Swatter, and a Business Lesson I Didn’t See Coming

I didn’t expect to learn anything about business that day. I was just going to pick up a friend to go shopping and go for a walk in our local park. But then her door opened, and three wasps flew in, and suddenly we were both standing there trying very hard to look calm while

What the Proverbs 31 Woman Taught Me About Working with My Hands

Can I be honest with you for a minute? There have been seasons in this journey where I’ve wondered if I’m doing too much. Where I’ve looked at everything on my plate and thought, “Did God actually ask me to do all of this, or did I just… start doing things?” Maybe you’ve been there

A Dog, a Schedule, and a Lot Less Chaos 🐾

Structure creates peace. Last week looked a little different for me. I visited my daughter and helped her take care of her dog while she was sick. And let me tell you… For this empty nester, it felt a lot like having a little one again. Meet Oakley 🐾 He’s my grand puppy, and the

This is not what I expected

Early on in my virtual assistant business, I had a very different picture in my head of what I’d be doing. I thought it would look more like traditional office work. Filing, ordering supplies, and basic data entry. Simple, behind-the-scenes tasks that just needed to get done. And to be fair, there are still pieces

Busy Doesn’t Always Mean Productive

This week has been busy. I’ve met with clients, worked on my own content, scheduled out a full month ahead for one client, and created content for another. I’ve also been baking and prepping for the farmer’s market, testing a new cookie recipe, grocery shopping, cleaning the house for company coming this weekend, and even

Sitting All Day? 5 Reasons Movement Can Change Your Workday

This week I did something I had not done in quite a while. I turned on a walking workout video and committed to thirty minutes of movement. Now this wasn’t slow strolling around the living room. It’s actually a full-body, heart-healthy workout that really packs a punch. There’s stepping, arm movements, and enough energy to
