My Weekly Spotlight: 

This week I battled a 103 fever, came back from Guatemala, and continued my 9-5 while content creating (barely). Had to take some time off content creating but I'm excited to be back. I got to take some sweet photos of Guatemala and Volcanoes that I'll share at the bottom of the email. Got to combine two of my hobbies - hiking & photography. Have you been on any cool hikes recently?
