Thoughts Unmuted: Things You Didn't Ask but I'll Say Anyway

Notion #5 - Missed the last one? Read it here!

You know those moments that sneak up on you? The ones that you are subconsciously aware of, but all of a sudden the reality of them smacks you out of the blue?

That happened to me recently—right in the middle of putting on my eyeliner. 😅

We were getting ready for my son Wyatt's 5th-grade graduation. And duh, I knew it meant he was heading to middle school, but somehow, it didn't hit me until that exact moment in the mirror when I truly registered he was halfway through his school years.

At his little ceremony, I watched him stride across the stage, shake his teacher's hand, and flash his proud smile for a photo. When he came down, I couldn’t help but wrap him in a big hug and plant a kiss on his head, right there in front of the whole auditorium.

His class let out a collective "Awwww," and bless his sweet heart, Wyatt hugged me right back without a second thought in front of his friends. 💕

All this to say, graduation season is packed with emotions, milestones, and memories—and it's the perfect time to celebrate your loved ones with a handmade touch.

What moments can you think of that snuck up on you out of the blue? I'd love to know!

..Yay! I got a Cricut! 🥳 ..wait… what exactly is Design Space? 😅 ..I have no idea where to start or what questions to ask. ..this seems… kind of overwhelming. ..I just want to make the pretty things already! ..what if I mess it up and waste my time? ..maybe I'm not smart enough to figure this out. If you nodded your head (even just a little), you’re not alone.I remember that mix of excitement and intimidation, too. Back when I got my first Cricut, I spent way too long chasing YouTube videos...

Hey Reader! What tutorials do you wish you could find but can't? I asked this question on a recent live workshop with you all and got a surprising answer. I wish I could create my own templates and SVG designs. Oh! 😲 I kind of felt myself shrink a little. I already teach that. In fact, I have a whole step-by-step course with thousands of creators who have made gorgeous designs and no longer have to pay for downloads or spend endless time searching online. The twinge of pain I felt was that I...

Reader, you know that moment when you open a cabinet, see total chaos inside, and immediately shut it again because nope, not today? Yeah… me too. I’ll be honest, some days the clutter wins. This year alone, I’ve juggled work, family, and life’s little “surprises” (the kind that break, cancel, or cost money) and still tried to keep our home looking halfway decent. It’s a lot. That’s why I had to hurry to my inbox and send you this message because today registration for the Get Organized HQ...
