I feel weird sharing this

Happy Sacred Sunday!

Greetings from the sky! I am currently on a plane flying to Austin, Texas to surprise my son.

Do you ever do something that feels like the truest expression of yourself?

Last night, as I packed my carry-on for a one-day trip, a visualization popped into my mind. I saw myself entering the airport, going through security, and boarding the plane. It was like replaying a movie I have watched many times before.

But the vision stirred something deep in me.

A spark of bliss.

You’d think the joy was because I was going to see my son. And I am so excited to surprise him. But that wasn’t it.

It was genuinely coming from the travel itself. Which, at first glance, makes no sense.

So I asked myself: where is this feeling coming from?

There is something about traveling alone that feels deeply, unmistakably like me. Maybe it’s because I grew up with a father who traveled solo so much of his life. Not sure, but I do know that my soul recognizes this as an important part of my human experience. The freedom to jump on a plane. The choice to honor that desire. Every step of the process feeling authentically mine.

I feel independent. I feel at peace. I feel at home.

What fascinates me is that I am such an extroverted person and I love people. I do not consider myself a loner in any way. And yet, that movie of walking into the airport, going through security, and boarding the plane alone feels the most like me.

I realize I may have just shown you how weird I am 😬

But here’s why I’m sharing it. One of the practices I have in Living with Intention is to choose a theme for the month (for myself and our Bliss’n Up Community). The theme is one tool we use in re-aligning each month and making sure we are heading in the right direction. This month, I chose the theme: Ask April.

Ask April is dedicated to the questions worth sitting with, getting comfortable with, and worth asking.

Here’s one: Notice when you preview a moment about your life that sparks a deep emotion. Then ask yourself: what is it about that moment that is provoking that feeling? Because the more you notice those moments and name them, the more you can nurture a life that feels authentic and true.

That is what I want most for you. A life that feels like the truest expression of your soul.

And it starts by asking good questions.

This week on the podcast I’m sharing three questions that may be keeping you stuck and how to reframe them. I’ll give you a little hint: if you’ve ever struggled with finding your purpose, this episode will meet you right where you are. Listen to it, then come back to this email. I think you’ll see these true expression moments differently.

As for me, I’m signing off to go give my boy the biggest hug and kiss and enjoy one more adventure in his teenage life.

Sending you so much love, today and always.

P.S. This month I’m offering complimentary Life Audit calls, and the first round filled faster than I expected. More dates are coming later this week. If you want to be first to know when they open, comment LIFE AUDIT below and I’ll make sure you hear about it before anyone else.
