Excerpt – My “Make It Happen” Mantra Through heartbreak, self-doubt, and late nights spent sanding drywall or editing content, one mantra has carried me: Make it happen.
It’s not just a catchphrase—it’s a mindset. It’s what I told myself when I was a single mom with a baby on my hip and a drill in my hand. It’s what I whispered when I didn’t know how to tile a floor, but did it anyway. It’s the voice I still hear every time I take on a new renovation, pitch a brand, or speak on stage.
“Make it happen” reminds me that momentum matters more than perfection—and that I am capable, even when things feel messy, uncertain, or hard.
As someone who is late to the camping game - my family didn’t camp together when we were kids, I’m not much of the roughing it type! On our first journey out with the camper my daughter said to me… “I don’t know about this camping thing mom, I’m more of an indoor girl.” I had to chuckle at the comment from my then 8 year old daughter. But as many of us turned to camping as covid kept us close to home, this 1973 Boler camper came into our life and transformed the way we felt about the great outdoors.
So as a reformed non camper, I’ve discovered how bringing a little luxury along to the campground can make an outdoor excursion much more pleasant. Keep Reading for my 5 Camping Tips for Non Campers!
