Phoenix, Arizona

It all begins with an idea.

There’s a reason that Phoenix and its surrounding cities are called the “Valley of the Sun”. It was a HOT and dry 97 degrees in early October. We stayed at the Moxy, aka the “Millennial hotel,” in Tempe, AZ. Moxy is a great place to stay if you’re looking for a low-key hotel to meet up with friends. Check-in is via the bar, and most Moxy hotels have a “game area,” i.e. pool table, board games, etc. Moxy Phoenix is the original Moxy and includes a pool, arcade, and lawn games.

Carousel at McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park (dogs allowed, $3/ride)

We woke up at 6am-7am and went out with the pups, before retiring around lunch and taking the afternoon off since it was too hot to walk around. Plan your day accordingly!

Great places for strolling and sightseeing include Papago Park, McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, and downtown Gilbert. McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park has two rides (the carousel and train) that pups are allowed on. There are no pup seat belts, so hold on to your dog! We went on a weekday, and there was no line to get onto the rides.

If bringing dogs into the HOT weather, make sure to pack extra cold water, a cooling vest, and doggy ice cream. My pups love the Yoghund YoPup brand, which is found in most Petco stores, but they’ll eat anything.

It all begins with an idea.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
