Hey YOU! How are you? How are things? I just want to check in with you and encourage you to embrace and enjoy today! If you are able, join us for magic hour at 5pm PST, so we can check in on you and support you with a smile. It's Wednesday! What will you get accomplished today?

Today I read a quote that said something in the lines of "life is change. Growth is optional" and I had to reflect on it for a minute, feeling profound gratitude for another incredible Fall day, a delightful lunch with @Valerie Kendall (who provides the most amazing hugs), a squeezed in power session at the gym and the opportunity to share the wins and a minute of daily gratitude with this community. Because here we choose Growth every single day, and we choose it with intention. Few people feel and are part of communities that grow. We are incredibly lucky. As per embracing the change.... I had a great walk with the dog in a sunny morning, a short and wet one in the afternoon and a very snow-white, slippery one tonight....🙄... Not impressed by the 3rd walk.... Not impressed at all.... But can't change it, so let's embrace that as well.

Sometime we feel discouraged. Projects didn’t turn out as you wanted, sales didn’t happen as fast, and the permanent to do list is taking more time that what you anticipated. It is OK! You are a beautiful human being! You are taking the next best option available: take a breather, recharge and go at it again! It’s Thursday! What will you complete by tomorrow night? Come and share in Magic Hour tonight! Or share here and get some community support! 💖🎉🙏 (in pic is my little recharger walk from yesterday, after one of the these afternoon classified as “a-lot-of-space-for improvements day” 🙄)

Self-acceptance isn’t a destination, it’s a daily practice. Some days, it feels easier. Other days, we struggle. But even on the tough days, we’re still enough. What’s one thing about yourself you’re learning to accept? For me it is being more patient with myself and let go of the urge of judging everything and everyone, myself included. I’m learning to reframe the peer-talk as if I was talking to a friend instead of nagging, pointing and feeling guilty. Again… micro steps, patience and consistency. Enjoy the rest of your day! I’m enjoying the last days of fall before the first snow that will arrive any day 🫤!

Ever notice how we often wait for the ‘big’ victories to celebrate? Today, take a moment to recognize the small wins. Even getting out of bed on tough days is a triumph! What small win are you grateful for today? Mine aren't crazy. But with the old perspective I would have noticed the many things that still to be done, feeling the weight of the "lack" instead or cheering the things that got done and accomplished! It's a huge change in perspective! I progressed on getting my room ready for new painting tomorrow and the garage project is almost completed (new shelves!) and 3 full cars of stuff are gone! Then I invented a great supper while defrosting after sitting at the hockey arena for the first game of the season (love watching hockey but ain't warm!) and we watched a good movie together. So it was a day with a LOT OF WINS! And I'm grateful for it!! What about your wins? Share them here, so we can celebrate together!
