Thank You June!! 💞💙💞💙

As I close the chapter on June, my heart is full of gratitude for every lesson, every answered prayer, and every reminder that God is faithful in every season. June was a month of growth, creativity, and perseverance. From continuing the Resting While You Wait Coloring Book journey to embracing new ideas, celebrating progress over perfection, and trusting that all things work together for good in God’s perfect timing. 

Along the way, there were moments of reflection, self-care, laughter, iced tea, Mahjong, and quiet victories that reminded me to keep going. Thank you, June, for the grace to keep moving forward, the peace to embrace the waiting season, and the courage to rest while I wait. 

Here’s to carrying these blessings into a brand-new month with faith, purpose, and a grateful heart. 💜✨

Dallas/Addison Marriott Quorum by the Galleria

While we're in 2023 with my posts from when I visited Addison, TX. While there I stayed at the Dallas/Addison Marriott hotel. It was so beautiful.

As I walked in, beautiful light fixtures greeted me. Everything from the decor, the lighting, the elevator, and the room captivated me. Everything was just simply beautiful. 

I was only there for two or three days, but I felt so at home.

I felt... spoiled and bougie.

It was an amazing experience.

My First Cava Experience - Addison, Texas - 2023

My love story with CAVA started in Addison, Texas in May of 2023. I had traveled there for an EYBL Session. 

I was staying at a Marriott, didn’t have a car, and was scrolling through DoorDash trying to find something I couldn’t get back at home. Because honestly, when I’m out of town, I don’t want to eat somewhere I can already eat at home.

Then I saw CAVA. 💛Mediterranean? Okay. Blueberry lavender drink? SOLD. And once I saw I could add pickled onions to my meal, it was officially time to place the order.

My ordered showed up at the hotel, and let’s say that was May 12, 2023. I took one bite and was like, “Oh… this is good.” Like, really good!

So of course, I ordered it again the next day. 😌 Then I started looking up CAVA locations and quickly realized that there were not any near me… and I was not happy.

Fast forward 3 years….

Now that we finally have a CAVA in Cincinnati, I love it. Whether I’m craving that blueberry lavender drink, pita chips with hummus, or any order involving pickled onions, It took me a while to share this, but honestly I only recently realized that I hadn’t. 

Anyway… guess what I’m having for dinner tonight?  👀

 

I’m So Glad Cava Is Now In Cincinnati

 I discovered Cava during the summer of 2023. I’m just realizing that I did not blog about my first experience in Addison, Texas but you can read about when I stopped at Cava’s Digital Kitchen in Tennessee enroute to Memphis for EYBL.

Their blueberry lavender drink is delicious!!

Tips For Aspiring Authors

1. Start Before You Feel Ready

Waiting for perfection delays progress. Your first book is not meant to be flawless—it’s meant to be finished, published, and learned from.

2. Know Who You’re Writing For.

A clear reader in mind shapes your tone, content, and message. When you write with one specific audience in focus, your book naturally becomes more impactful and marketable.

3. Invest in Presentation, Not Just Words.

Great content deserves professional packaging. Editing, formatting, and a strong cover build credibility and signal to readers that your work is worth their time and trust.

4. Treat Your Book Like a Business Asset.

Your book is more than a product—it’s a platform. Think beyond sales and consider how it can open doors to speaking, coaching, workshops, or digital products.

5. Publish Progress, Not Pressure.

Momentum beats overwhelm every time. Small, consistent steps—writing, revising, learning—compound into a published book faster than waiting for the “right” moment.
