Whew, July was a mix of highs and lows, but Iβm still standing β and for that, Iβm grateful. Even in the ups and downs, I made space to get back to doing things I love. I got out more, took some beautiful nature walks, captured moments with my camera, and slowly started easing back into the media world. It felt good to reconnect with that side of me again.

Now here we are in August β a fresh month filled with possibility. I always like to kick off each new month with a challenge, and this one is close to my heart:
Candlelight Conversations with Cece has officially launched! π―οΈπ¬

This new series is all about honest talks, healing, growth, and reflection. Itβs a vibe. So light a candle, get cozy, and press play.

For Cece Book Club last month, we dived into Sisters with a Side of Greens, so grab your copy and join the discussion Sunday β Iβm excited for this one!

Iβm also still running a special on my blog: just $100 to highlight your book, product, or brand β this includes promotion on social media, an email blast, and a feature in the Cece in the City newsletter. Great opportunity for authors, creatives, and small business owners to shine! π

And speaking of shining β just a gentle reminder: You are enough. Donβt let anyone make you forget that.

Looking ahead, Iβm excited to continue my journey of visiting all 50 states. Iβve already covered Georgia and Tennessee, and next up is South Carolina! I shared highlights from both major cities and the charming little towns in between. If you want to follow along or join in on the journey, come along for the ride!

There are more adventures on the way and other projects Iβm working on β so definitely stay tuned and stay connected.
