Hello friends and family,

Happy Week! Double the newsletter this week because of last week’s mistake. I loved the responses that I got from you all. Thank you for being so on it that you flood my messages within opening this, it felt good to know that you are all reading this newsletter. I see it in the numbers but I felt it when you messaged me. THANK YOU.

This week's theme is “Would you want this for your best friend?”

I had a moment in my morning pages of writing through some thoughts when I realized that there is something I do in life repeatedly, basically a stupid behaviour that I repeat. (As much as I want to dive into it here, this is not my therapy session)

But anyway in the notes I wrote down…Would you want this/ accept this for ____? And the answer is no!

I would not want my best friend to put up with this, have this response, or do this in their life. I would not accept it and would most likely lecture them about it!

So why am I accepting it for myself?

Wow, the hit of reality as I typed that out. 

Exactly! …We often do things in life or accept things that, if we were our best friend… we might slap ourselves over the head.

For this year …let’s try and do better.

Your task this week:

• This week take a look at your life. Is there something that you do or put up with that your best friend would not approve of? Maybe let’s try and do better.

• Then take a moment to send a message of gratitude to the best humans in your life, for all the honest reality checks they give you to keep you on track and living your best life.

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)

My second favourite Youtube channel after Ramit Sethi. I wish I had this knowledge 25 years ago. Ah, life would be so different. If you need of some financial inspiration …go binge his channel.

🎨 Artists Who Inspire

Hale Ekinci

A new artist to inspire us all. With Turkish heritage, she weaves stories into her art work. I love the mixed materials and infusion of people. What if every family’s stories were captured on fabric like this….

How do you capture your family’s magic?

🎶 Song of the week

Okay, I need to share one of my favourite salsa songs with you. This one played in a bar and I had to grab my phone to shazam it. Of course, it’s Fania All Stars.

For this imagine you are me and hearing this for the first time…Take a moment to pause and listen to all the trumpets …then follow the voice and the keys. I promise you my heart expands 10 fold each time I hear salsa music.

💫 Hope you felt it for a moment….

Final thoughts:

Life is a series of edits and if you are paying attention to your triggers, habits, and path you get the opportunity to course correct along the way so it becomes a smooth ride.

Wishing you all the best on your path in life.
