Degrees of Maternity Newsletter - Issue 69


Reader,

Welcome to another issue of the L.I.T. News newsletter. I hope it finds you well and that you've had a fantastic weekend thus far. Today, the weather has been most pleasant -- a milder, around 80 degrees, August, summery day in the Midwest. So, I can't complain. And even if it was a blistering, closer to 100 degrees type of day, I'd still be very grateful. Because . . . regardless of the temp on the dial, I'm here to experience it.

So, it's a good day.

Now, I don't plan on keeping you long, because I'd really love for you to check out what's inside of today's issue of L.I.T. News. I have some literacy items, some personal development items, a garden update, a Hmmm? moment, and a little goal planning action for you to check out below:

​And there's some good stuff in last month's issue, as well. If you missed it, you can find it below:

Told you I wouldn't keep you long here. But, don't forget to read your attachments. (I'm leaving you some extra time to give them a good looking over.) They just may contain some words that set your week off to the positive start you need.

Enjoy your week and weeks-to-come. My hope is to see you this time next month. Until then . . .

Degrees of Maternity

Hi there! I'm Jana (Yahna) Williams.

Welcome to a cozy place to hang out, where life education never ceases. Every 4th Sunday of the month, we’ll explore the areas of personal and professional development with an underlying theme of reading and writing for growth and healing. (I'm a HUGE literacy advocate! And, literacy is intertwined in just about everything I do here online. Take, for instance, the L.I.T. News Newsletter that I hope you'll choose to peruse. The "L.I.T" in the newsletter name is representative of Life-Improvement Training -- which we do a lot of around these parts -- as well as my love of all things literacy.) Just know that, as a content creator, I have a passion for educating others through positive, encouraging, and life-impacting content. Words are powerful once delivered. So, let’s enjoy their empowerment for the good, as we travel this life-improvement journey together.

Reader, Welcome to another issue of L.I.T. News. I'm excited to continue the topic of communication, specifically emphasizing the importance of how we communicate with ourselves. YOU are important, and it's necessary to check in with yourself regularly. Personally, I've found writing to be a therapeutic way to do so. And since sharing is caring, I've taken the liberty to share a little of what I've found to be true about writing therapy. So, please check out issue 75 of the newsletter -- hot...
