Put Yourself Out There

It's a big Monday around here... lots going on! I am excited to say that my website is officially being designed as of today. I handed over the check on Friday so that my landing page can officially become an interactive dream of mine. Which means I get to start writing the content, and putting almost two years of tear sheets and Pinterest print screens to use. If I had to share with you how I am feeling right now, it is excited and yet terrified all at the same time.
In addition, I finally posted a picture of myself and did a brief introduction on Instagram this morning. I am still second guessing it as we speak, but at least I did it. I threw in all the words that really represent me: mom, wife, merchant, writer, work in progress, jeans, coffee, dreamer. You know, the usual.
Lastly, it's Monday- which means an inspirational quote is a must before we end this post. So here is a new favorite from Reese Witherspoon. During a recent interview, she mentions that a good lesson for young women is to jump with two feet into a cold pool. I mean, this will sound ridiculous, but it felt as if she was talking directly to me. As I have mentioned, one of the hardest parts about taking on your dream is the fear you have at failing. For me, knowing someone that successful had similar insecurities makes me feel a bit better. I admire her even more now and this quote is a great reminder for all of us.
So here is to putting yourself out there and trying your best... One day at a time, one post at a time, one dream at a time.
If you're looking to stay on schedule with a clear, accurate time display, a simple online digital clock can be a surprisingly effective tool. Unlike system clocks that might be small or cluttered, a dedicated browser-based clock can offer a large, unambiguous view of the current time. This is helpful for students managing study time, professionals tracking billable hours, or anyone who benefits from having the time prominently displayed. It's a basic utility that can significantly aid in time management by being constantly visible.
For those who prefer a minimalist desktop digital clock that's highly visible, a full-screen web-based clock is a great option. Instead of a small widget, you get a large, clear display of the current time, which can be surprisingly helpful for staying focused and managing your schedule. It’s particularly useful if you're working in a space where a wall clock isn't practical or visible. The live, accurate time display ensures you're always aware of the current time at a glance, promoting better time awareness throughout your day.
For parents and teachers looking for effective telling time games and resources, online interactive analog clocks are a must-try. Instead of just worksheets, these tools provide a dynamic way for kids to learn. They can often set random times for the child to read, or allow the child to set specific times themselves. This active engagement helps solidify their understanding of hours, minutes, and how the hands work together. It turns what can be a frustrating learning process into something more enjoyable and game-like, which usually leads to better retention.
