Last year's birthday cupcakes, made and decorated by yours truly.
A quick Monday list of seven things I’m celebrating:
- My Website Wish Kit is done! Even though I’m already planning the second edition (which, of course, buyers of the first edition will get automagically), that doesn’t take away from the satisfaction of having a real live thing.
- Happy Thanksgiving! Not only to my Canadian friends, but to everyone else, too. I mean, aren’t you all thankful that Canada exists? I know I am.
- I’m teaching a live teleclass tomorrow! This is one of my very favorite things to do, and I’ve been looking forward to this for weeks. I get to walk people through my Website Wish Kit, answer questions, and hear the insights and a-has my people are getting. I am always so energized by these things. Must remember this. (Want to get into this class for free? Get yourself onto my Invitation List and you’ll get a discount code you can use when buying the Website Wish Kit.)
- My 10-year-old daughter is running for Student Council president, and she made a website to explain her principles and make her election promises. Okay, yes, I did install WordPress for her, but other than that, she did the whole thing. I am so proud.
- My WordPress Swimming Lessons start one week from today, and I’m limiting the class to five people. I’m excited about teaching an intimate group the art of WordPress, and seeing the strides they’ll make in the next three weeks. Registration closes on Friday the 14th!
- It’s Columbus Day! I know this is a politically charged topic, and I’m not going to address that. A mentor of mine used to explain that regardless of what anyone’s opinions were about Columbus, she chose to celebrate the day as Italian Heritage Day. She’d make homemade meatballs the way her nonna used to (she gave me the recipe, although I’m sure I can never claim nonna-like abilities), and throw Italian phrases around, and that was that. So: Buon giorno! Molto bene! Allegro con brio!
- My boy turns seven years old tomorrow! Which is why I’m whisking myself off to the store to find candy shaped like a submarine to decorate this year’s cupcakes. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to top last year’s Polar Bear Cub-Cakes, though, since marshmallows lend themselves so perfectly to bear-head-shapes.
How about you? What are you celebrating this bright October Monday?
