“Finding Light in the Sunset: A Love Letter to Sunset on Whisling Island”



Sunset on Whisling Island by Julia Clemens is a heartwarming story about four remarkable women dealing with love, loss, and the strength of friendship. Set against the beautiful  backdrop of Whisling Island, just off the coast of Washington state the story paints a vivid picture of a tightknit community.

I loved reading about Bess, Deb, Olivia, and Gen each facing real, messy challenges that hit close to home. From crumbling marriages to buried secrets, their struggles are raw and authentic, yet their journeys also include hope and resilience. 

I can totally relate to the female friendship and the way these women lean on each other. It is a beautiful testament to the power of sisterhood and love. 

Great pace of storytelling; balancing emotional depth with moments of lightness that keep the pages turning. The island setting adds a cozy, almost magical vibe, making it the perfect escape for anyone craving a story that’s equal parts poignant and uplifting. This is women’s fiction at its finest touching, inspiring, and impossible to put down. I can’t wait to see what’s next for the Whisling Island crew!


Why a Positive Morning Mindset Matters: Kickstarting Your Day Right

My morning drive by shot!

Good morning! 

God waking up for work can be so hard but waking before the alarm is harder. These are the mornings I remind myself how blessed I am to wake. The alternative sucks and I feel blessed daily but as an exhausted 58+ year old woman I know how important it is to start your day with a good attitude.

Why?

Because this sets the tone for how you’ll approach the rest of your day and all the outside sources and the added challenges that come along with it.  

A positive mindset boosts your resilience to bounce back from all the bs and setbacks you will undoubtedly deal with. It fires up motivation and makes tackling your tasks easier. 

Did you know that positivity is as contagious as negativity? Yup! People pick up on it. Show a positive front those you deal with in your day to day will too!

Choose the lens you want to share with the world and they will share it with you. Sure there will always be those dark cloud people that can’t get out of their own way but don’t let them take your rainbow. 

Love you!
