I am always so excited to share with you any updates that I have throughout a month's time. I feel like this is a great way for you to get to know me better as an author and as a human just like you! Many things have happened this past month since my last blog post! Here are just a few of them. 1. The Number Mountain is going on another author visit next spring. Two back-to-back author visits as many of the schools are wanting to bring in an author for Read Across America week. I am so happy to be a part of this fun week! As a former teacher, I know this week can be a lot of fun with many fun activities going on in the schools that week.

2. A personal update: This past week, I completed another speaking event. A 60-minute personal development session with teachers before school starts. As a Licensed Brain Health Coach, I talked about ANTs and how to overcome them, instant stress-relieving activities, how to bring appreciation and gratitude into each day, and when time gets tough... how to get back to your why. I enjoy doing speaking events like these so this was a nice change of pace between my author job and my appraising job. So grateful I am able to do it!
3. A random update: We bought a hot tub... woohoo!!! That's all there is to be said about that :) We are very excited to get it set up and start reaping the benefits of nice, relaxing hot water and massage!
Hope you enjoyed my updates. Until next time! Enjoy the rest of August and I'll see you next month!
