Happy Labor Day! Honor Workers while we're enjoying our hot dogs and beer.
Important Fact 1 :
The holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America's strength, prosperity, and well-being. 🙂
Important Fact 2:
In the late 1800s, at the height of the Industrial Revolution in the U.S, the average American worked 12-hour days and seven-day weeks to make a basic living. Children as young as 5 or 6 toiled in mills, factories and mines to help their families. 🙁

💡 Stick with first, second, third, last when writing.
They’re cleaner, more modern, and totally correct.

"Firstly, secondly…" isn’t wrong, but they sound stuffy and old-school.
Unless you're channeling a 19th-century scholar, skip the -ly.

😹 Personally, firstly, secondly, etc. makes my ears twitch and my eyes itch.

And no matter what, be consistent—First, second, third, not Firstly,
Second, Thirdly.

At the top 250 schools in the U.S., the admissions essay actually carries *more* weight than applicant grades and coursework.
Deadlines for November and December are coming up faster than you think. November 1 is early decision for many schools.
This article gives some great advice on writing a really stellar college admissions essay.

🎙️ Ever thought about turning your podcast into a book? If you’ve been sharing engaging stories and advice on your show, why not include that content in a book that reaches even more people? 📚

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻:
1️⃣ Transcribe your episodes — Get your talks down in writing so you can work with the text.
2️⃣ Find your main themes and stories — Look for the ideas and stories you keep coming back to that could be chapters.
3️⃣ Build on what you’ve said — Add more details, examples, or personal thoughts to give it extra depth.
4️⃣ Put it in order — Podcasts jump around, but your book needs a clear path that flows well.
5️⃣ Throw in some extras — Share stuff your listeners haven’t heard, like tips, exercises, or behind-the-scenes moments.

Your podcast is a goldmine — now turn it into a book that shares your message even bigger and better! 🚀

Celebrate your favorite nonprofit by giving your time, treasure, or talent. I volunteered for Akron Snow Angels for a summer event. What a privilege to provide those in need hot dogs, ice cream, haircuts, kids crafts, toiletries, shoes, t-shirts, backpacks stuffed with school supplies, and blankets.

Here's a fun fact many don't know about me: I'm a southpaw! Happy Left Handers Day to all you right-brained beauties.

I'm in good company! See who else is a southpaw.
