The affirmation cards and intuitively chosen crystals are absolutely BEAUTIFUL 😍 @Rebecca Paciorek sent these with a bookmark, some stickers, and smilie face confetti 🎊 If you get a chance, you should order these from her! I am looking through the cards now, I love every one of them 💕

I am, once again, amazed at the accuracy of today’s cards. Like the Halloween cards, the Yule cards are more Oracle style than tarot and I think you’re going to enjoy those. If you would like me to pull cards for you from any of the decks, Let me know. I can send you the decks that I have and you can pick. I will either send it to you privately or if you want to do it on Thursday with everyone present we can. 😇 block out distractions- if you have seen any of my posts recently, I have been talking about ending the year, strong the way that YOU want to end it. “… take charge of your schedule and working environment….” Goes so well with this. 📝 I am the master of my fate and captain of my keyboard. Again, this goes so well with us being in charge of the way we do our business and books. 🎄9 of canes/swords … re-evaluate what you need to do, want to do, and what is expected…” What do these cards bring up for you? I’m loving these cards so much. The book is a solid half inch with gorgeous color illustrations and the set came in a beautiful box. Here’s my link if you need to buy yourself a gift. https://amzn.to/44pRLoa

Feel free to create a post and introduce yourself as we have various new faces around the Skool. Hi, I’m Rebecca. I live in Middletown, Ohio just S of Dayton, with my hubby of 24 years and our 22 YO son. I own Blue Dot Digital Marketing and Authors Allies. 2024 was the 15 year anniversary of my digital marketing agency. I’ve published magazines and promoted books for over 20 years. My niche is female authors, speakers, and coaches. I’ve always been service based but have a TON of content to work into passive income so I can reduce 1:1 client serving hours while keeping the income up, giving me more time for this group. 🤩🫶I run the Authors’ Allies ROUNDTABLE done with you marketing membership. I love to read, travel, play games and do some crafty stuff. Coffee is my brew and I even started a podcast that was originally titled Books & Brew. (Now Authors’ Allies podcast.) I look forward to getting to know everyone and seeing how we can grow together. Let’s sell and read some books!

I'm Carlie Yates, That One Writer Chick, professional storyteller of the indie variety. I live in Dayton, OH with my youngest son who's autistic so life is never boring. I also have a very needy, VERY spoiled pup, Eva. I have two older boys that live about 30ish minutes away. I write contemporary romance and social -issue driven drama novels. I have 11 full length novels and 1 short story in an anthology. I'm working on novel # 12 which is titled "Lucky Now" and is a standalone romantic suspense. I am an avid reader on most days, and I enjoy many genres. Music is a huge part of my life. It calms me, motivates me, helps restore me to a balanced mood. I am shy, truly, but I do try 😁 To all of our new members, welcome to our community! These humans are truly fantastic. To me it's like having a chosen family. Make yourself at home 😊

Here's what I have listed as potential topics for 2026. Feel free to list more ideas or make some comments/feedback in the comments section below. I will work on massaging the list by the end of the year: Cabin Fever- Back to Biz Basics in January most likely Passive/other author income I'd still like to teach some FB/Amazon ads if they ever stop changing so much Tech month- specifically graphics and video Events/Podcasts- finding them, guesting, etc. Tik Tok $ on the Clock - if they're still around... how to make $ there Hybrid vs Self Publishing Vs Trad Published- what to look out for Beyond the 'Zon- various other options Launching Lessons In person meetup- I'd still love to do a couple of nights someplace sometime but also just generally at least have 2 in person meetings next year in this area That's the current plan. Let me know if you have other ideas/suggestions.
