Writing Retreat 2025 In March 2021 four women embarked on what was the beginning of the Busy Bee Writing Retreat. After the weekend, we felt so accomplished and appreciated taking time out of our busy lives to do something strictly for ourselves and our writing endeavors. The first official Busy Bee Writing Retreat happened in September 2021 at a lake house in Shelby County with a total of seven women: the same four from before plus three more! This all-inclusive retreat debuted the first Busy Bee Writing Retreat t-shirt, sponsorships, giveaways and the signature Buzz Bags! By the next retreat...

I knew that things had gone too far when I started thinking about all the things that I could get done while I was on surgical leave. I actually made a list. Who does that? Well, probably more than just me, but the point is it shouldn’t be that way. Many of the things on the list are things that I want to do for myself or my business such as writing projects. Some of the things are things that I have either put off long enough or are less than enjoyable tasks that I need to get done. And...

Confession- My line sister forced me to make my first vision board. Ok, she didn’t put a gun to my head or anything but she wouldn’t take no for an answer. I went to the vision board party to fellowship and support. I did NOT go to make a vision board. I had never made a vision board and frankly had never planned to start.
