01. Glint Celebrates 20 Years
For our 20th Anniversary, we are making 2020 a year to pause and reflect. Glint wants to celebrate twenty years of business by having people share their stories and business journeys. Everyone has a story, and it has been quite the journey for us; let’s face it, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. If anything, it’s hard to run a business, but what makes it worthwhile is reflecting on how far you’ve come. We all started somewhere and were impacted by significant moments along the way. It doesn’t matter if you’re in your first year of business, your fiftieth, or you haven’t even started. It’s about understanding the meaning of hard work and remembering that no matter where you are in your journey to take a moment to pause and reflect on what it took to get you where you are now.
The people you work with, the work you do, and the things you have accomplished are all a part of your success development. So, we ask, what makes you proud? What drives you? Where do you want to be?

02. Join The Movement
In celebration of achieving our twenty-year milestone, we want to encourage you to join our Pause and Reflect campaign. Together, we can spread words of encouragement, celebrations, and thanks by posting on social media and using the hashtag #pauseandreflect. Although the challenges we’ve faced in 2020 may have been overwhelming at times, taking a moment to pause and reflect over the last twenty years will likely give you hope, and confirm you’ve still made a lot of progress. So please, join the campaign and help us celebrate how great the last twenty years have been.

REMINDER: Mental Health Matters 🧠❤️
It`s easy to feel overwhelmed or drained because of work. Burnout and mental health challenges can stem from several workplace factors, but there are ways to combat them and create a supportive environment that fosters well-being and productivity.
🔄 Common Workplace Factors Affecting Mental Health:
1. Lack of Clear Direction: Ambiguity in roles or goals can frustrate and stress employees. Consider establishing clear communication channels and regular check-ins to keep everyone aligned.
2. High Workload & Tight Deadlines: Balancing multiple projects can lead to burnout. Agencies like Glint can take some of that weight off your shoulders by streamlining project management and offering creative support.
3. Lack of Recognition: Feeling undervalued can impact morale. A simple solution? Celebrate wins, big or small. Recognition not only boosts confidence but also encourages a positive work culture.
Your mental health matters!

For a little over a decade of working alongside Prestige Credit Union, the work has stayed focused on one thing: making marketing decisions feel intentional instead of reactive.
One of the most important roles we play for long-term partners is helping separate signal from noise.
That means pausing when pressure says “move.”
Pressure-testing ideas before they become campaigns.
And making disciplined decisions that protect both the brand and the strategy behind it.
That kind of clarity doesn’t make marketing louder.
It makes it more confident. More consistent. More effective.
This is what partnership looks like when strategy leads.

There’s pressure to move fast.
To show momentum. To prove progress.
That’s often when teams jump into execution before alignment and end up creating more friction than focus.
Our latest blog explores why clarity isn’t a reset or a rebrand, but the work that makes everything else work.
Now live on the Glint site.

Runway views. Small bites. Big community energy.
Taste on the Tarmac is one of those events that just feels different.
From the setting at Addison Airport to the chefs, students, and sponsors behind it, everything comes together in a way that actually means something.
3 years in and still gaining momentum.

A dream does not keep surfacing because you are restless or ungrateful. It surfaces because it belongs to you.
It comes back when you are tired. After a win. In the middle of something that should feel like enough. That is not noise. That is signal.
The question is not whether it will keep showing up. It will. The question is when you are going to stop walking past it and actually give it some space.
This week, sit down and write about it. Not the how. Just what it looks like. Let it take up some space on paper.

Isn’t it interesting how we can all experience the very same moment so differently?
No right or wrong. Just noticing. 💫

🌅 Slow down. Breathe. Enjoy the little moments. ❤️
Life can get overwhelming sometimes. We spend so much time worrying about tomorrow that we forget to appreciate today.
One thing my healing journey has taught me is that life is precious, and even through our hardest moments, there is still beauty around us. 💕
You don’t have to have everything figured out. Take a deep breath, give yourself grace, and remember that every new day is a blessing. 🌿
✨ Reminder: You deserve peace, happiness, and moments of calm. 🤍 Follow Priscilla’s Healing Space for more self-care, healing, and encouragement.#blowthisup #selfcarejourney #healingjourney #pauseandreflect #keepgoing

What does success really look like? 🌿
We often measure success by what we achieve, what we own or how far we`ve progressed.
But perhaps success is also found in the quieter moments of life.
Having peace of mind.
Spending time with people who matter.
Sharing laughter, enjoying simple pleasures and finding contentment in the everyday.
Ambition is wonderful, but so is learning to appreciate the life we`re living.
✨ Sometimes, having enough and recognising it is a success in itself.
🤍 Pause & Reflect
*A moment to pause. A reason to reflect.*

A gentle reminder before the weekend begins:
You don`t have to earn rest.
You don`t have to justify slowing down.
You don`t have to wait until everything else is done before your needs matter.

You check your phone. You check your calendar. You check on everybody else. But when was the last time you checked in
with yourself? Not the automatic ‘I’m good.’ The real answer. Take a moment today to acknowledge what you’re carrying, what
you need, and how you’re actually doing.
Let’s do a real check-in. Comment with an emoji that matches how you’re feeling today - no explanation needed.
