This Week on JessicaLawlor.com:
Monthly Check-In: Goodbye March, Hello April: Each monthly check-in, I share three things I accomplished in the previous month and preview three things I’m excited for in the month ahead.
Goals
- Focus on me. The past few weeks have been very deadline-oriented for a few major freelance projects, so this week I want to spend some time on my own blog and taking care of myself.
- Attend the Shorty Awards in NYC! My client Muck Rack’s parent company, Sawhorse Media, puts on these annual social media awards each year and I’m pumped to attend for the first time!
