Happy Sacred Sunday!
I am going to make this week’s email short and sweet because I’m about to jump in the car and head to the Keys with my 5 Fingers to meet some friends.
I’m so excited about this spontaneous funday with my family.
To say I’ve been busy this month is an understatement. I’ve been in the trenches of coaching, traveling, parenting, and living. On top of my already full plate, I opened my calendar to offer complimentary Life Audits and have spent the last couple of weeks connecting with the most amazing women.
The month has been both full and fulfilling, but there hasn’t been much 5 Fingers time. I’ve spent time with every member of my family, but not all of us together.
So today we are taking some time off for each other, and I can’t wait.
Living with intention isn’t about perfect balance. It’s about learning to Notice. Name. Nurture. what matters most to you so you never drift too far out of alignment. So today I’m disconnecting from everything to reconnect with my core.
Before I go, I did want to let you know that this week’s podcast episode is out, and it is one of the most important conversations I’ve ever had on the show.
I sat down with my sister Kathy.
Kathy spent five months in the hospital fighting for her life. And in this episode, she does something brave. She tells the truth about why she didn’t start fighting until she had no choice. She talks about the years she spent compensating, letting her declining health stay hidden in plain sight by adjusting, accommodating, and working around it. Until she couldn’t.
That word stopped me cold when she said it. Compensating.
Because drift doesn’t always look like drift. Sometimes it looks like coping. Sometimes it looks like “I’ve got it handled.” Sometimes it looks like a woman who is very much alive but has quietly stopped truly living. It’s the reason I am constantly doing the work of noticing when I start drifting from one of my pillars.
Kathy and I talk about the difference between those two things. We talk about prayer, ownership without victimhood, and what it meant for her to be loved without being managed. And we talk about her word for this year, DARE.
If you have been drifting, or if you love someone who is, please listen to this one.
It is a conversation about choosing life on purpose, before life forces your hand.
Okay, logging off. I’ll back in your inbox soon.
Sending you so much love today and always,
