.@heropress and @HeroPressNetwrk are absolutely inspirational, if you're not familiar with them it's worth taking a moment from your day and learn about their stories.

No one ever tells you the most important part of Imposter Syndrome.
You usually feel it when you're leveling up.
When you are stretching yourself.
- Learn something new
- Reach a new level
- Become greater
It can feel like failure.
But it's a sign of growth.
Embrace it.

Dear freelancers,
Find yourself a community. You'd bless the day you did when you find a community that shares your values.
I mean, life's already hard enough. Why go on this lonely, unpredictable journey alone?
You're better off in the circle of a solid support system.

Hi #WordPress designers & developers - what is your niche? 👇🏼
Do you focus on specific types of clients, specific projects, or somewhere in between?

It's official! On June 30, I went into City Hall and filed to run for council for Port Dalhousie and walked out with this package.
Proud to put my name forward to represent the people of the city.
I've got some reading to do this weekend.

It was suggested that I spring for a campaign video, but a glitzy ($4,000) video isn't who I am
Instead, 17yo & 14yo produced, directed, recorded, and edited this for me (And that's a lot more who I am)
Endless gratitude to everyone who helped us with this

Let’s cancel the idea that “strong people” are stoic and uncaring. The strongest people I know are those who haven’t allowed hardship or trauma to extinguish their sense of wonder, their capacity for hope or their ability to love.

Public service announcement: A "blog" is not a blog "post". A "blog" is a collection of "posts".
Sorry, had to get that out. It's not you, it's me. 🤷♂️

Hey #WritingCommunity: take that "aspiring" out of your bio.
Did you write?
Then you're a writer. ❤️

Writers are incredible.
It's truly amazing that we can:
1. Be assigned a topic we previously knew little to nothing about
2. Research it and understand it enough to write about it comprehensively and coherently (often within days)
High fives to you all today!

Content marketing is NOT about choosing a keyword and writing an article to rank for it.
It's about having a deep understanding of your target audience and the information they’re looking for and being a credible and trustworthy source for that information.

I'm chatting with a friend that's been dealing with a lot and they asked if their are resources for Autistic people who have people with other mental health issues in their lives (whether/not the other person is Autistic) that that can look into for support.

I went to journalism school with @markmackinnon. He was an incredible reporter then and now he is one of the best foreign journalists who has covered Russia and Ukraine 🇺🇦 for years. Follow him for accurate information. #IStandWithUkraine

Bill C-229 introduced by @MPJulian today would ban the swastika, KKK emblems, and confederate flag in Canada. These are unmistakable symbols of hate that show support for genocide and slavery, or grossly minimize their violence. Email your MP and tell them to support the Bill.
