Anchor august

Happy Sacred Sunday!

It’s the last day of #AnchorAugust and the time has come to notice what this month has looked like and name the one that’s coming. Don’t you just love when the first or last day of the month lands on a Sunday, making it the perfect end/start to a new cycle? 

Am I the only one who geeks out on these nuances? 😁

Today I am sending you this love letter from a cozy coffee shop in Portland, Maine. We came here for my cousin’s wedding. 

For me this was a very special wedding, because this is my father’s sister’s daughter’s wedding. I’ll give you a minute to read that again. 😉 My aunt has always lived in the northeast, so I don’t see her often. But growing up, I always noticed how much my father went out of his way to stay close to his sister. When he had business in New York, instead of staying at a hotel nearby, he would stay at his sister’s house in Connecticut and take the train back and forth just to spend quality time with her, her husband, and their daughters. He taught me that distance doesn’t have to mean disconnect.

I’ll admit I haven’t always been as good at this as he was.

But August was all about Anchoring and I’ve been extra mindful about anchoring into my relationships. It felt quite synchronistic that my cousin was getting married the weekend after his birthday. He wouldn’t have missed this wedding for anything, and although he couldn’t be here physically, it was important for my Five Fingers to be there to represent him. 


At the reception, Ryan was showing his little cousin magic tricks, and I knew my dad was smiling down. He was always the one doing magic tricks for kids at parties.

That’s the power of naming your intentions. The Universe has a beautiful way of giving you opportunities to live out your intentions if you choose to pay attention.

I was always going to come to this wedding … but anchor august intention allowed me to connect the dots and show up in a more meaningful manner.

I hope this reminds you that the facts don’t have to change to make your story that much more beautiful.

So as I sit here enjoying the crisp weather and small-town charm, I’m closing the Anchor August loop and opening September with an open heart.

💡 Here’s a little hint: September’s theme is all about strengthening your foundation so you feel unshakable heading into the fall.

Sending you so much love as we close one month together and step into the next. It’s a privilege to walk this intentional life alongside you.

With love,
