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

It's Giving Tuesday! Whether you give money, time, or a shout out to your favorite non-profit, every act of kindness is appreciated. What are some of your favorite organizations? It's hard for me to choose, but I love: 💜 Move for Hunger @moveforhunger - they partner with moving companies so unopened food gets to the food pantry instead of getting thrown in the trash. 💜 Feed My Starving Children @fmsc_org - they provide food to starving children around the world. 💜 The Greater Chicago Food Bank Depository @fooddepository - they provide food in Cook County and strive to end hunger. 💜 Bernie's Book Bank @berniesbookbank - they provide books to at-risk kids throughout Chicagoland. 💜 The Kindness Connection @the_kindness_connection - they inspire the next generation of volunteers through meaningful, age-appropriate community service projects. 💜 So, I know Giving Tuesday is about giving and not getting, but... Move for Hunger has an incredible sweepstakes going on right now where you can win a trip to Cabo, Disney, or Chicago (link in bio). It ends today. I really hope I win, but I'm sure they would appreciate your donation. Maybe we both will win a trip. 😁🤞 #givingtuesday #moveforhunger #feedmystarvingchildren #foodbank #foodpantry #chicagofoodbank #berniesbookbank #bookbank #thekindnessconnection #bekind #volunteer #community #communityservice #helpothers #sweepstakes #winatrip #triptocabo #chicagotrip #disneyworldvacation #ihopeiwin

Just like everyone else, my To Do list is a mile long right now. I considered skipping my guitar class this morning, so I would have time to get other things done. I ended up going to my guitar class - great decision. 😄🎸🎶🎵 I smiled the rest of the day. Energized by singing and playing with other people, I checked some things off my list after class. Eventually, everything will get done. In the meantime, I am going to remember to schedule time to do the activities that bring me joy and keep me sane. How do you try to maintain your sanity during the holiday season? #staysane #selfcare #happiness #joy #gratitude #music #singing #playingguitar #maketimeforyourself #momlife #todolist #happyholidays #oldtownschooloffolkmusic #ilovechicago #lovewhereyoulive

Show your local businesses some love today for #SmallBusinessSaturday. I used to work for Yaromir Steiner at Easton Town Center @eastontownctr in Columbus, Ohio. Yaromir is the Walt Disney of shopping centers. He wants everything - from the live entertainment to the street signs to the soda machines - to add to the customer experience. You may not notice the small touches as you walk through the mall, but the sounds, smells, and sights combine to give you that happy holiday feeling. Support your neighbors and shop at your local stores today. I visited the Greene today in Dayton, Ohio (also created by Yaromir Steiner). You'll find autographed copies of THE ART OF HAPPY MOVING at Books & Co @booksamillion. 😊 Happy shopping! 💕 #shoplocal #localbusiness #thegreene #eastontowncenter #yaromirsteiner #artofhappymoving #theartofhappymoving #happymoving #giftbook #movingday #booksandco #booksamillion #dayton #authorlife #signedbooks #homeandgarden #supportyourcommunity #neighbors #community
