If that’s true, then you’re not stuck being “unclear,” “late,” or “still figuring it out.” The facts might say you don’t know your niche yet… but your identity gets to decide first. Today’s assumption: “My thing is revealing itself now — and I recognize it when it appears.” Drop a comment: What do you secretly want your thing to be, even if the facts say “not yet”? https://youtu.be/NSQjwN4wT08?si=wKl3hsrCvjO9UflQ

A Simple Query Letter Framework That’s Worked for Me for Years (and Just Worked Again) I want to share a query-letter structure I learned years ago in a professional writing course — one I’ve used over and over, and one that just helped me land an editorial acceptance with a travel magazine. It also works for job inquiries with some tweaking here and there. I call it: HEY – YOU – SEE – SAY It’s simple, memorable, and it works especially well for blind queries (when you don’t have a direct contact). 1) HEY — Capture Attention This is your opening. Its only job is to make them want to keep reading. It can be: - A compelling line from your piece - A bold, honest statement - A sentence that immediately signals voice or theme Example: “Adventure has been my favorite word since childhood — and I’m finally living it at 62.” This isn’t about overly impressing. It’s about engaging, getting interest on what you can (and know you can). 2) YOU — Who You Are Now you ground it. This is where you say: - Who you are - What you do - Why you’re reaching out Example: “My name is Angela Theresa Egic, a writer and photographer, and I was recently accepted by Travel Inspiration Magazine for a NYC travel feature.” Short. Clear. Human. 3) SEE — Why You’re the Right Person This is where you connect you to this project. You’re answering the unspoken question: “Why should this come from you?” Example: - You’ve lived the experience - You bring a specific lens - You’re reliable, fast, professional - You can write regularly if needed This is where credibility lives — without bragging. 4️⃣ SAY — Close Simply This part should always be short. One or two lines. That’s it. Example: “I’d love to explore this further and am happy to share samples or details. I look forward to hearing from you.” Done.

Theme: Claiming creator identity + income trajectory Here’s a powerful re-frame I love: Your money wants direction. When you give your money a mission, you also give yourself one. Inspired by Lenka Lutanska, I’ve been playing with identity statements like: “I am a four-figure content creator.” “I am a five-figure creator in motion.” This isn’t pretending — this is positioning. She started as a five-figure coach and built forward. I’m currently a four-figure spiritual/creative coach — and that means getting in now is powerful. You don’t wait to arrive to claim the road. Your money’s mission might be: • to validate your value • to support your transition • to prove consistency to yourself • to build belief through evidence Whatever your “thing” is — art, business, content, service — money follows identity. Decide who you are, give money its assignment, and let momentum handle the rest. 👉 Highly recommend this watch: https://youtu.be/XNZpwuQQ5Wg?si=S_IxHxCxf6axk5LZ

Clear Mind, A Strong Spirit: What Women 50+ Need to Know About Preventing (and Slowing) Dementia My Powerful Focused Friends, let’s talk about something real. We’re the generation who took care of everyone else — kids, partners, parents, careers, passions, art, survival. We’ve held households together, reinvented ourselves again and again, and somehow we’re expected to do it all with a smile and a good outfit. But there’s one thing that keeps many women our age awake at night: “Will my mind still be mine when I’m older?” Whether it’s forgetting a word, mixing up a date, walking into a room and thinking Why did I come in here?, or watching a parent struggle with dementia…the fear gets real. Let’s go there — without shame, without fear, and without pretending it’s “just aging.” Because here’s the truth: 🟩 Your brain is not declining — 🟨 it’s REWIRING. And you’re allowed to support that process so you stay sharp, creative, empowered, and YOU. 🌟 3 Things Women 50+ Absolutely Must Know About Brain Health 1) Memory changes are normal — but confusion is not. - Misplacing your phone ≠ dementia. - Forgetting the entire purpose of the day, or getting lost in a familiar place ≠ normal aging. *** The key is understanding patterns — and catching subtle signs early. 2) Your hormones are part of the story. - As estrogen drops, so does a layer of “neurological protection.” - That’s why many women notice fog, mood changes, or forgetfulness in peri- and post-menopause. - This is NOT your fault, not “aging badly,” not “losing it.” - It’s biology doing its thing — and it can be supported. 3) Lifestyle matters more than genetics. - Only 2–3% of dementia is strictly genetic. Everything else? Influenced by sleep, stress levels, diet, mental stimulation, creativity, and emotional health. *** You have FAR more power than you think. ✨ How to Protect Your Beautiful Brain (Starting Now) These are simple, doable, and incredibly effective:
