I closed the book with tears running down my face. Number 80 of my 100 book challenge this year. Definitely in my top 3 favorites. Packed full of wisdom! I love when a book shows up in your life and makes a lasting impact. This one is staying on my night stand. Thank you Oprah Oprah’s Book Club

✅ Sending you the post… but first the details. As I laid down to go to sleep I had a thought in my head “Your purpose in life is to is to reach your full potential” I knew I needed to get up and write it down. I also knew if I got up I would wake everyone up. So I closed my eyes and hoped I would remember in the morning.

⏰ I was excited to get woken up at 10:17 pm to change a diaper.

📝 I scribbled it in my journal and went to bed. This post came from that scribble..

For I Know the Plans I Have for You

Who would you be if you didn’t have to worry about money?

Not how much money would you have.

Not what would you buy.

Who would YOU be?

I’ve been sitting with this question for a long time.

And this October, I’m finally sharing what came from it. ❤️

Something new is coming.

It’s easy to spend your entire life waiting for the next thing.

The next goal.
The next amount of money.
The next version of you.
The next dream to come true.

Dream BIG. Absolutely.

But don’t become so focused on creating the life you want that you miss the life you already have.

Look around.

Notice where you are.
Notice who is sitting beside you.
Drink the coffee while it’s hot.
Watch the sunset.
Put the phone down.
Be in the conversation.

You can want more and be incredibly grateful for now.

I’ve been working on something quietly for the last few weeks.

Something that feels very much like me.

It’s almost ready. 🌼

And for now, that’s all I’m going to say.

Coming October.

Curious? 👀

I spend a lot of time thinking about where I’m going and the life I’m creating.

But this is life too.

Throwing leaves on the back porch. Laughing with my children. Being completely here for a moment I’ll probably wish I could come back to someday.

Memories are made in the present moment.

Don’t miss them looking for what’s next. ❤️

Where you are today isn’t where you have to stay.

But don’t miss today because you’re so focused on getting somewhere else.

There will always be another goal. Another dream. Another version of you you’re becoming.

But this is your life, too.

This ordinary Day.
This season that isn’t quite where you want to be.
This version of you who is still figuring some things out.

You can be grateful for where you are and excited about where you’re going.

You can want more without making now something you have to escape.

Because your power isn’t waiting for you at the top of the mountain.

Your power is here. Now.

Enjoy the view from where you are.
Then take the next step.

Life isn’t something to finally enjoy when you arrive. It’s the journey you’re already on.
