It can be hard to find the perfect gift for your friend who is moving, which is why I adore the "On The Move" gift set that the Melt Down Co @meltdowncompany created (link in bio). 😍 The gift includes an autographed copy of my book, THE ART OF HAPPY MOVING, so your friend can maintain her sanity and find happiness during the move. It also includes: No Six Depot tea @sixdepot, bath salts, a hand poured candle, and craft chocolate. Seriously, what else could you possibly want for a happy move? 😁📖🍵🛀🕯️🍫 I'm thrilled that UpJourney chose the Melt Down Co "On The Move" gift set as "One of the Best Gifts to Get Your Best Friend On Her Birthday". ❤️ If you are looking for other unique, thoughtful gifts, please check out the Melt Down Co @meltdowncompany. Their products are gorgeous. They work with local vendors and artisans. And, it's a women-owned small business. The Melt Down Co is also offering free local delivery if you ship to Chicago's North Shore. So much to love about this company. 💖💖💖 #theperfectgift #giftset #meltdowncompany

Lisa Barr @lisabarr18, author of THE UNBREAKABLES, and Renee Rosen @reneerosen_, author of PARK AVENUE SUMMER, joined us for book club last night. What an amazing, fun, and memorable evening. 💖 Thank you for meeting with us, especially since this was the last night of your 2019 book tour, Lisa, and since you've been under the weather, Renee. Our book club devoured both THE UNBREAKABLES and PARK AVENUE SUMMER.😍 To get insight from the authors about their writing inspiration, their characters, and their writing process brought book club to a whole new level. I'm feeling spoiled and now I want all of our book clubs to be like that. 😁 Book clubs: I recently discovered Novel Networks @novelnetwrk, a platform that connects readers and authors. It's free for book clubs and the author will join you via Skype. I highly recommend it! Lisa and Renee, we cannot thank you enough for a truly spectacular night. 💕 #lisabarr #theunbreakables #reneerosen #parkavenuesummer

Thank you, Diane Boden @diane_boden, for having me on the Minimalist Moms podcast @minimalistmomspodcast (link in bio). I loved chatting with Diane about minimalist moving. Even if you don't plan on moving soon, you'll find tips on how to simplify your life in the new year. I hope you enjoy it! 💖 #Repost @minimalistmomspodcast

Recent teenage suicides at our local high school have devastated the community. My heart aches for the families and friends who lost a loved one. I am saddened by the comments on social media by people who feel the need to place blame - on the school, on the community, and heartbreakingly on the parents. Blame never helps anything. Kindness does. In LIFE AFTER SUICIDE, Jennifer Ashton @drjashton explains that approximately 5.5 million U.S. residents are affected by suicide every year. People I love very much live with the aftermath of suicide every day. Looking at the statistics, either you or someone you care about has lost a loved one who took his or her own life. I highly recommend Ashton's book if you are trying to make sense of a suicide. Be kind to people every day, because you never know what's going on in someone's life. It's easy to put on a happy face. It's even easier to show a happy life on social media. The holidays can be especially hard for many people. Be patient. Be forgiving. Reach out and connect with the people you care about. When it comes to your own mental health, realize that no one knows you like you know yourself. Only you understand your limits, so take a step back when you need it. Write down the activities and people that make you happy. Then, during the hard times, look at that list and force yourself to seek what brings you joy. People want to help you. Let them. Work through one day at a time, and you will make it to a good hour or a good day. Celebrate these moments. Allow yourself to feel joy. You are loved. #lifeaftersuicide #jenniferashton

When a friend told me about the opportunity to volunteer for the inaugural TEDx Wilmette Women event, I said "Sign me up!" I was fortunate to work as a a speaker coach for two bold and brilliant women, and to collaborate with a large group of passionate and inspiring people. What a fabulous, unforgettable experience. I'll share the links to the TEDx talks as soon as I have them. #tedtalks #tedx #tedxtalks #boldandbrilliant #inspiring #ideasworthsharing #volunteer #community #speakers #speakercoach #unforgettablemoments #tedxwilmettewomen

I love my job. I had the chance to interview the hilarious comedian, Sarah J. Halstead @sarahjhalstead, about her journey from Flint, Michigan, to Los Angeles, CA (link in bio). If you've ever dreamed about leaving everything behind to pursue your dreams, learn from Sarah. I heard you should always take life advice from stand up comics. 😁 I'm lucky to call Sarah a friend. We met years ago on Instagram, and I've loved watching the rise of her career. She'll be doing a live taping of her comedy album "RVs and Cats" at Second City @thesecondcity in Hollywood, CA, on Dec. 19 at 7:30 PM. If you live in LA, you won't want to miss it! Thank you, Sarah, for joining me on The Art of Happy Moving. #sarahjhalstead #secondcity #secondcityhollywood #losangeles #standup #comedian #standupcomic #actress #podcaster #secondcityla #theartofhappymoving #blogger #movingtola #hollywoodorbust #rv #livingthedream #lalife #taketheleap #takeachance #followyourdreams

Thank you to every reader who has written a review of THE ART OF HAPPY MOVING. 💕 As much as people tell writers not to read reviews, I read them all. 😊 If you're online today and you have a few minutes to spare, please leave a review for an author you like. If that author happens to be me, you will make my day. 😁 There seems to be a magical number (50) that the Amazon gods want you to reach before they'll promote your book. My goal is to get to 50 reviews by Christmas. If you could help me get there, I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much (link in bio to Amazon).💜💜💜 #author #authors #artofhappymoving #declutter #happymoving #bookreview #bookreviews #amazonreview #goodreads #goodreadsreview #writerscommunity #writersofig #writerssupportingwriters #reader #readersofinstagram #booklovers #booklove #bestgiftever #thankful #readersofinsta
