August already?! Let’s indulge in ice cream and plot bigger dreams. 

When I was a kid, August meant nothing. No agenda. Lazy days that were relaxing and fun. (Thanks, Mom And Dad!) 

As I get older, August still makes me light, but I’m knowing, too. 

September is coming. September is my January when I plan resolutions — like a fresh start after I shake off the sand from my beach walk. 

Bigger things are coming, but plans are made now, so let’s skip the second-guessing about what to post today. 

You can take inspiration right from my content calendar. I use these post ideas for Instagram, but they can work great for blogs, videos, Facebook posts, Pinterest pins, and anywhere else you’d like to find your audience online. 

See below to steal my August content ideas and social media post prompts for digital content creators, virtual assistants, & social media managers.
