Effective Communication

Effective communication starts with active listening—really hearing the other person without interrupting or preparing a response before they finish speaking. Clarity is key, so expressing thoughts concisely and confidently helps avoid misunderstandings. Nonverbal cues, like eye contact and body language, reinforce words, making conversations more engaging. Adjusting your tone and approach based on the audience ensures the message resonates. Lastly, empathy strengthens connections, showing an understanding of different perspectives. Mastering these elements creates stronger, more impactful conversations.

June is Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Month

June is Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month—a perfect time to celebrate nature’s bounty and nourish our bodies with vibrant, nutrient-packed produce! To increase your intake, try adding fresh berries to your breakfast, snacking on crunchy veggies with hummus, or making colorful salads bursting with seasonal flavors. You can also blend fruits and greens into smoothies, experiment with grilled vegetables, or explore farmers’ markets for locally grown options. Embracing fresh produce not only benefits your health but also supports sustainable eating habits. So, why not make June the month of delicious, wholesome choices?

LGBTQIA Pride Month

Pride Month, celebrated every June, honors the LGBTQ+ community and commemorates the Stonewall Riots of 1969, a landmark event in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. It began with the first Pride marches in 1970 and has since evolved into a global celebration featuring parades, festivals, and advocacy efforts. Recognized officially by U.S. presidents starting in 1999, Pride Month promotes visibility, equality, and solidarity for the LGBTQ+ community.

Here are some ways to celebrate Pride Month:

  • Attend a Pride Parade or Festival – Join the vibrant celebrations in your city.
  • Support LGBTQ+ Businesses – Shop at queer-owned businesses and restaurants.
  • Educate Yourself – Read books, watch documentaries, and learn about LGBTQ+ history.
  • Donate to LGBTQ+ Organizations – Support charities that advocate for equality.
  • Wear Pride Colors – Show solidarity by wearing rainbow-themed clothing.
  • Host a Pride Event – Organize a gathering, fundraiser, or discussion group.
  • Amplify LGBTQ+ Voices – Share stories and support LGBTQ+ creators on social media.
  • Volunteer – Offer your time to LGBTQ+ community centers or advocacy groups.
  • Advocate for LGBTQ+ Rights – Sign petitions, contact representatives, and push for equality.
  • Celebrate with Friends & Family – Spread love and acceptance in your own circles.

10th Year Blogiversary

I celebrated 10 years as a Blogger.  Although I didn’t get a chance to celebrate really big, I definitely will in the near future. This is a huge accomplishment. I started this after my postpartum struggle. That time was sacred. I was already struggling with my body and mind after my last baby. In addition every change that could happen in these 10 years I have gone through them while also pushing through and sticking to what I love.

The collaborations are also one of the parts I love. Being able to decide what I want to get involved in or walk away has given me a sense of accomplishment.
