Prefacing this post with a PSA to let you know I am diving back into this space right here and blogging in a big way. The first few posts might be a little bumpy as I shake off the rust so thank you in advance for bearing with me. Oh, how I have missed the original form of connecting when it comes to the online world. I want it to feel like 2006 around these parts and I am so thrilled to have you here for it. Plus, it helps with the social media burnout – ha. *Taps mic* Anyone else?

On to today’s edition of Casual Friday. I’m a sucker for new seasons and fresh starts. Just when you think you can’t take another day of winter, spring starts showing up in the smallest of ways. And then one day you wake up and everything is vibrant once again, everything buzzing with a renewed energy. I love soaking in the change in pace this time of year. Even though, simultaneously, I am sitting here wondering how in the world it is March already. 

If you are feeling like you haven’t had the strongest start to the year so far, I am a firm believer that each day is a new opportunity – each one can be a new season and a fresh start when we embrace it. And because of that, I wanted to make sure you get your hands on my newest free resource – my 2024 Playbook. It’s a 46-page guide that will walk you through assessing where you are at while holding your hand through setting intentional goals. I know you are going to love it and I can’t wait to hear how it helps you in not only your business growth but your own personal growth.

Keep scrolling to catch tonight’s edition of Casual Friday – some spring things that I have fallen in love with, my latest playlist that I have had on repeat this week as I have been busy preparing content for March, and of course that free download so you can dive into my playbook!

Just a few spring things

I’ve been prepping all things spring content for the past few weeks as well as diving into the start of Q2 design projects – I just had to share some things I can’t get out of my head.

Have mercy. This Ralph Lauren storefront display is all of my spring dreams. I have a thing for storefronts and window displays. In another life, it would absolutely be my craft of choice.

I’m a neutral kind of gal through and through, but this skirt from Anthropologie stopped me in my tracks. Love the femininity of it and such a classic statement piece.

File this one under things that make me smile.

I’m already planning this year’s Easter tablescape.

My Spring playlist on Spotify

A fresh season and you better believe I have been working on curating just the right playlist for it. Head to Spotify and search me by ‘KaraLayne’ and you will find my ‘Spring Feelin’ playlist. It’s been on repeat in my house for the past week!

My latest free resource and download

Whether you are just starting or feel like you have become a little lost in your business, this guide is meant to bring you clarity as you assess where you are at while also being intentional with the goals you set. Forty-six pages of work to gain confidence in the direction you are headed.

In case you need to hear it from someone: you are meant to stand in your purpose. You are meant to build the life you envision for yourself. You are meant to do big things.

Will it be tough? Undoubtedly. Building dreams is no easy feat. There will be days when quitting seems tempting. It will be the hardest work you ever do – as should anything that comes with such great reward. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. But honey, you aren’t everyone. And something tells me that you already know that. Because you are here right now. There is no holding back anymore. You in? Good! Now let’s get to work.

Leave your email just below – I can’t wait to get this one in your hands!
