Happy Thursday!
So, we’re back to the hot and humid stuff here in Central Ontario. And after a weekend of cooler temperatures, I am really feeling the heat this time. My brain feels a bit like it’s swimming in a pool of molasses, and I’m not getting much done at all.
Yesterday, we had our first monthly meeting for the Coloring Patterns Monthly Membership. I love doing Q and A and freestyle discussions because you never know what direction the conversation is going to take. For current members, I’ll get the replay up sometime today for you.
If you want to join us for the next one, you can sign up for the membership here. New patterns drop on the 15th of each month, and so if you join this week, you’ll get both August and September patterns. It’s only 7 bucks a month right now, and you get 25 patterns, a monthly live call, and special members only product releases.

Today’s Read: A 6-Step Content Strategy for Growing Your Business
Do you have a content strategy for growing your business?
What’s a content strategy, you ask?
The simple definition is that a content strategy is a plan for how you create, publish, and manage your content. It should include the overall goals for your content, who will create it, what type of content will be created, and when and where you will publish it.
When you have a content strategy, it ensures that ensures that all of your content is created with a purpose in mind. It helps you be consistent with your messaging and branding and keeps you from wasting time and resources on creating content that doesn’t serve a purpose.
But don’t make it harder than it has to be. Creating your content strategy doesn’t have to be super-complicated take up a ton of your time.
And that’s it for me this afternoon.
Have an amazing day/evening! Create what makes your heart happy.
