Happy Sunday!
It’s another gorgeous day here in Central Ontario today, and we’re supposed to have at least a few more before it cools off again. I’m going to call and try to get a tee time for either Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon so that we can get one final round of golf in before they close on October 31.
But for today, I’ll be inside working because I’m getting very antsy to get my new projects off the ground! And before you ask… that’s a really good thing! I’ve been very low on inspiration and motivation the last little while, and I feel bad about that because I know it comes across in my energy.
And I so want to be a positive and uplifting force in the world, and especially for you.
And on that note, here’s what I have for you this morning…
New Products in the Shop!
I am finally getting started on adding all the products I’ve got sitting here to the store. New additions so far include, and I’ll add a few more today:

What’s Coming This Week
It’s going to be a hugely busy week next week in our content creation world!
The big news is that on Tuesday, Mel is finally releasing her new 2023 planners! And I’m in both of the upsells – I contributed 100 co-ordinating digital papers for the first OTO, and the 2nd OTO is a series of three workshops with Mel and myself, covering all aspects of affiliate marketing from both sides. We’re running this through Warrior Plus, so if you’d like to promote it, you can grab your affiliate link here. (Note: If you’re new to Warrior Plus, you don’t know Mel, or aren’t already on her list, make sure you let her know you’re coming from my community for faster approval.)
In addition, on Tuesday, JR Lang has a new huge self-help package coming out and Amy Harrop’s latest training also drops. I’ve had a peek at Amy’s training, so will share some insights for that on Tuesday, and will have a really good bonus for you too! Rayven has new coloring pages, and Piggy Makes Bank has their new health and wellness content available too. And, if you love Design Cuts, they have TWO new bundles dropping on Tuesday too!
On Monday, the Build Your Beautiful Business Summit gets underway. On Wednesday, Marian has another new course out on using Inkscape. This time she’s talking text and fonts. Design Bundles Dollar Sale is on Wednesday as well. On Thursday, Lynette has a new workbook out, and on Friday, Aurelius has a new PLR package releasing, and I think you’re going to find the topic really helpful!
And that’s all I know right now, but I’m sure there will be more as the week progresses!
And that’s it for me this morning. I’m off to find some breakfast, and tidy up a bit before Shaun gets home.
Have an amazing day/evening! Create what makes your heart happy!
