A new story from my latest gig: THIS one habit could be a key to your success. ⁣
⁣
I’ll spill: It’s sleep! Click the link in my bio to learn how it can help you do better at work—or with your business or side hustle. Maybe starting as soon as Monday. ✨
⁣
So tell me, do you get enough sleep? ⁣
Thank you to @yourfavedoctorfriend for pitching in with her advice. ☺️

Sometimes we need time away. 🌿

In these days of deadlines, projects, and hustle, it’s okay to pause sometimes. Entrepreneurs especially need to consciously decide to step away, I think, particularly when dealing with multiple requests. So I’ll be taking some time in the next couple of days. Hope you also can rest and recharge. Happy weekend. 🦋🌿

Walking into the weekend, and my mind is BUZZING.

Walking into the weekend, and my mind is BUZZING. 🐝

Do you ever feel like this? My heart may still be in Valencia. And yet, there are so many other things on my mind. I’ve been reviewing writer pitches (and responding!), developing story ideas, thinking about doing a YouTube series, editing, recovering from being sick. Ahem. 😷

But there are so many promises coming to us, when we work, I have to confirm. Glad to be on the ride and in touch with so many of you. Happy Friday!

Just do it already. ✔️ ⁣
⁣
Yeah, I was out with the palm trees feeling inspired...in part by my shoes. (Hey, @Nike.) 😆 ⁣
⁣
As we start this decade, I’m thinking: Let’s push. Let’s go. Let’s not overthink. Write the thing. Take the trip. Call the person you’ve been meaning to call. Every day is a gift.⁣
⁣
What will you do with your day today? Hope there’s some fun in it for you.

WRITING OPP: Great to be back to my roots with my latest freelance gig as a contributing editor for Sisters, a newsletter for black women from AARP. As I wrap up this stint, I’m still open to pitches from great writers who understand this audience. I’ll be assigning stories soon. Details in this post, including how to pitch me. I’m especially interested in essays from members of this demo. ⁣

Have a look, and if you’re on Twitter, feel free to follow me there, too!

Don’t forget the past. Learn from it. 🖤

I can still remember how this day felt. It was a peaceful yet brilliant series of moments.⁣
⁣
Feeling contemplative on this last day of 2019. And grateful for the growth along the way. Remembering the high points—so wonderful when they come—and the lows. These things work together for our good. ⁣
⁣
I’ll share more from this time in Spain. Until then wishing you well for these last hours of the decade. And glad to have hope and faith. ✨🥳

Reporting a new dating story, so more on this soon. But thinking about this for people who are afraid to travel alone, eat out alone, explore alone. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Try it. Even for an hour or a day. No harm in it. And when you’re comfortable solo, then perhaps you can attract someone else. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
What do you think? Can we expect people to join us when we‘re not open to enjoying life solo❓⁣#solotravelstory #lesliequander

Go with the flow. Enjoy while you can. ✨

Scientific images can be cool. They also can be pretty, erm, tricky to identify, as I learned while writing for @nigms_nih. (Seriously—there is a stained fruit fly ovary in this collection that looks like a piece of jewelry. A fruit fly ovary!) ⁣
⁣
I get to write about so many different things. Are you into science? If not, it might surprise you. To learn more, head over to https://biobeat.nigms.nih.gov. ⁣

And sometimes you wander into European alleys that have cool street art annnd architecture. (There’s more where this came from—and somehow it’s even MORE colorful.) ⁣
⁣
Do you ever get inspired by street art? You know I can get inspired by almost anything. See stories for a close-up.

Where’s @aliciakeys when you need her? I’ll be a stand-in if I must. 😆
Valencia has SO many parks and gardens. And they’re tranquil and lovely in their own ways. This one has this cool installation and is near the stunning City of Arts and Sciences. (More from there soon.)

You can triumph if you take that leap. You coming? 💃🏽⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Is this where we got the idea for sandcastles? Some history: Construction of these Serranos Towers began in 1392. They were used “both as a defensive feature of the city and also as a triumphal arch,” according to Visit Valencia. ⁣⁣ Triumphal arch. Sounds good. ✨
