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.

Pause and reflect, thatโs what iโve been doing this entire year. Without the tragedy that is 2020 I would have never been led to appreciate all the good things in my life. I usually save the mirror pics for the snap story, but one of those good things in my life is my awesome job, and weโre currently celebrating our 20th anniversary (hence the kickass shirt). Moral of the story: appreciate the little things, remember ur roots, stop and smell the roses, and reflect on ur journey ๐ #pauseandreflect #glintadvertising

2020 is our 20th anniversary. What a year to reflect. Immediately, 911, 08โ housing market crash, and COVID-19 quickly flood the brain. Then I realize all the things weโve overcome and how awesome the journey has been. Visit glintadv.com to reflect with us. #pauseandreflect #glintadvertising
None of the ladies would have a drink on their own, but they had no problem sharing one. The only reason this happened was because glint was celebrating their newest team member, Kelsey Keys... #glintster #glint #glintadvertising

Journaling has been part of my life for years. Sometimes more, sometimes less. But whenever I make space for it, I notice the difference. I feel lighter, calmer, and more grounded.
Some days, my mind feels like a hundred tabs are open at once. Thoughts jumping from one thing to another, never really settling. I keep thinking, but somehow Iโm not getting anywhere. Just going in circles, feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from what actually matters.
Thatโs where journaling comes in for me.
Putting my thoughts on paper slows everything down. My hands canโt write as fast as my mind can think, and thatโs exactly what I need.
Writing helps me clear the noise, find clarity, and come back to myself. Distracting side thoughts disappear, allowing me to focus on what truly matters.
Thatโs why journaling has become more than just a habit. Itโs my little daily ritual. A moment to pause, breathe, and reconnect.

Before October asks you to do more, take a moment to notice what youโve already carried.
You donโt need a perfect plan for the month ahead.
Just a little space to breathe, reflect, and begin again โ at your own pace.
Pause. Breathe. Then step into October. ๐ค

This thought came to mind around 2:30 a.m. today, and I couldn`t stop thinking about it, so I just had to record it.
After watching, tell me...
Do you agree, or do you see it differently?

Week 2 | Wednesday ๐ฟ
Pause โข Reset โข Refocus
By Wednesday, the excitement of Monday has often faded.
The to-do list is still there.
The week is moving quickly.
And somewhere between getting things done, we may forget to ask ourselves:
โHow am I actually doing?โ
Maybe today doesn`t need more pressure.
Maybe it needs a pause.
โ Take a breath.
Give yourself a moment without having to accomplish anything.
๐ค Check in.
What are you feeling, really?
๐ฑ Reprioritise.
What truly deserves your energy right now?
๐ Let go.
What are you carrying that you don`t need to?
โ๏ธ Recharge.
Do one small thing that makes you feel like yourself again.
โฐ๏ธ Keep going.
You may be doing better than you think.
You don`t have to finish the week perfectly.
You just have to be a little more present for it.
Take a breath.
You still have time. ๐ค
Less noise. More clarity.

โMaybe I donโt need to find the old Lexi.
Maybe I donโt need to become exactly who I was before.
Because Iโve lived a lot of life since then.โ
I think thereโs something quite freeing about this idea.
Sometimes we talk about โfinding ourselvesโ as though thereโs an old version of us tucked away somewhere, waiting to be uncovered.
But what if weโre not supposed to go backwards?
We change.
Life changes us.
The things weโve experienced, the people weโve loved, the lessons weโve learned, the things weโve lost and the things weโve discovered along the way all become part of who we are.
Maybe the goal isnโt to become who we were before life happened.
Maybe itโs to discover who we are now.
And perhaps that person doesnโt have to look anything like the person we used to be.
Maybe sheโs a little wiser.
A little softer in some places.
A little stronger in others.
Maybe she still has some of the old sparkle.
Maybe sheโs discovering new things she never knew she wanted.
And maybe thatโs okay.
We donโt have to go backwards to find ourselves.
Sometimes we just have to keep moving forward and see who we become. ๐
๐ธ A little Thursday thought:
What if you donโt need to find your old selfโฆ but simply give yourself permission to discover who you are now?
Thank you for walking this journey with me, one page at a time. ๐

โธ๏ธ Pause Before Asking Workbook | Self-Trust Prompts for Anxiety & Reassurance-Seeking
Reaching for reassurance can become automatic when uncertainty feels uncomfortable. This Anxiety Relief Bundle introduces a simple pause-and-reflect approach for noticing what is happening before immediately looking outside yourself for an answer. The Conquering Anxiety eBook provides practical anxiety-management information, while the 200 Prompts & Workbook offers exercises for identifying anxious thoughts, emotional triggers, reassurance-seeking patterns, overthinking, grounding, and personal decision-making. Before asking someone else, try the guided questions: What am I feeling? What do I already know? What answer am I hoping to hear? What decision actually needs to be made? Use the workbook to practice staying with your own thoughts for a little longer. Printable PDF and Canva editable.
