If you had two years left to live...
Hello fabulous Reader,
I saw a tweet the other day saying, “If you had two years left to live, what would you do differently?”
I don’t think I would do anything differently. I’d keep doing what I’m doing.
But ask me that a few years ago, and I would have had a completely different answer.
I would have said:
Quit my job.
Make more time for friends and family.
Take more time to live in the moment and enjoy being.
Move my body more - dancing, cycling, hiking, swimming.
Get outside more, specifically in nature.
Read more.
Eat more delicious food.
Go on more adventures.
Develop new connections.
Snuggle my dogs more.
Have more good sex.
Have more conversations.
Check-in on the people I care about.
Paint.
Create.
Write more.
Travel more.
Dress up more.
In the last few years, I’ve started living more intentionally. I’ve given myself permission to slow down, to take time to enjoy life. Sure, there is still an undercurrent of worry that I’m always working to quell. There is so much uncertainty when building a new business that comes with urgency and a layer of panic. I’m not ignoring it - just acknowledging that it is there and that the bills still have to be paid, but it’s okay if things take longer than expected.
I’m making time to live - even as I build.
You might be feeling that this can’t apply to you. There is too much to do; things keep coming up. I get it. Trust me, my to-do list is 11 ft tall. But if you don’t take the time now, you’ll miss it. You don’t know what life has in store for you and what could come knocking tomorrow.
So take those extra few minutes to enjoy your coffee.
Watch the sunrise.
Read a book.
Slow the fuck down.
When you realize that none of it matters and that you get to choose how you live, you give yourself permission to live.
Until next time,
You don’t get to choose the cards you’re dealt, only how you play them.

I run the Customer Service side of things for my Business Coach, and we are in launch mode this week! She is much farther along in her business journey than I am, and it is exciting to see what is possible with only a small team of 6. I've been busy answering tons of emails this week and have been tied to my computer more than I would like. Who am I kidding? I spend WAY too much time working on my computer anyway. This is the exact reason I am such a stickler when it comes to sticking to your...
Writing in today to talk about how excited I am about the two modules I got finished yesterday for my upcoming course. It’s going to be a good one! It’s for the person who struggles to make time for breakfast - they know they “should” be having breakfast and they probably “should” be having something other than a pastry or granola bar — but no matter how much they want to, they just can’t seem to make this change. I’m excited because it’s not just another protein cheatsheet with a list of...
Heya I missed two of my morning walks this week - because I had made other plans to walk later in the day. One of those days I did actually get in an afternoon walk because I walked to the movies. But the other day, my friend canceled, and instead of going for an evening walk on my own, I just didn’t move my body that day. Looking back, I’m frustrated with myself that I broke that promise. For me, morning walks are a promise to myself that I will show up and take this time to move my body,...
