Hello friends and family,

We made it! It’s the last day of March and this ends the first 3 months into the year, how is your 2024 going? As slow as it can feel, time is moving on and your goals, plans, and dreams are waiting. Take a moment to breathe before we kick off this week’s issue.

I am laser-focused for April to July and ready to make solid magic! As you read last week, I have an accountability group kicking off this week and we have a spot for you if you need it. Just hit reply and I will send you everything.

The theme of this week is “Focused Time”

I learned a good lesson last week. I went to dinner with some friends here in Mexico City and it was great but my Spanish was basic and I came home feeling so frustrated with the level of my knowledge.

For me, these moments of frustration are the best wake-up calls for me to make huge jumps forward. I woke up on Saturday ready to study. I looked at my calendar for the week and decided if I really wanted to move this forward in the fastest amount of time, I would need to add in time blocks and adjust my life for this goal. One to two classes a week would not be enough and of course, just random YouTube videos would not cut it.

Thanks to teaching English for 5 years and understanding different learning models, I know how I like to learn. Games and critical thinking give my brain some space to play with the skill I am trying to develop. So I spent a good amount of time training Chat GPT yesterday to be a Spanish teacher and to focus on what I need to learn, then to help me practice by playing games. For some, this might be a waste of a Saturday but actually, now I have made a huge step forward for learning and mastering this language.

Your task this week:

• Take a look at how you spent your time in March.

• Where can you create focused time in April to get your dream done?

Remember each week, we are just moving one tiny step forward to creating a life you love. 

🤙🏾 Inspiration Labs

Inspiration Labs is a 1-hour call where we dive into your project, career, life, or big dream. This free session is to gain clarity, dream bigger, and walk out with 1 action step to start moving forward. This is the value I am adding back to the world 💫

I will open new sessions weekly for this. To have this available to everyone, you are allowed 1 session only. (Sorry I wish, I had all the time in the world to only do this but I have to work too)

I love this channel. It breaks down different topics into educational essays, short content but highly engaging. I binged quite a few and this one is my favourite.

“The game you didn’t know you were playing” is a great title too. Enjoy!

🎨 Artists Who Inspire

Peter Lubach

Another quirky artist with the cutest take on ceramics. Meet Peter Lubach. I think that quick dive back into ceramics unlocked a dream I had when I was in school, where I wanted to do ceramics but it clashed with a math class I had to take. I wonder what life would have been like if I had taken that class instead.

Fun fact I still can’t count and I hate math.

If you have kids ask them what they are passionate about, what sets their hearts on fire right now and then find a way to share some ways for them to do it weekly.

🎶 Song of the week

I am officially changing the theme song for 2024 to this one. Such energy and vibes. I think it’s the perfect refresh anthem for April. Also look at these 3 queens, crushing it and collaborating. This is a good reminder that we move forward faster…together.

This week, get up and dance to this one. Have a salsa break time in your day!
