🌿 What Would You Do If You Were Inspired? Issue 198
💫 A Dose of Inspiration
Hello friends and family,
Happy March! We are here at the beginning of a new month of adventure. What big or small goal have you set for yourself? What 1 thing will make your heart expand if completed this month? - Hit reply and let me know 🙂
This week's theme is “Attention.”
Do you find yourself with a tasklist too big to complete or 5 things running through your mind at the same time? Even worse, are you scrolling for an hour on Instagram and not noticing the time that has passed?
I am guilty of all of this at times. For this month, I want to be hyper-focused on where I put my attention. Every app, ad, or YouTube video is a distraction unless it’s part of a stream of search for knowledge. (I know this newsletter contains videos too…these are curated for your break and are here to inspire you - use this wisely)
Back to the attention thing, it was much easier 10 or 20 years ago to focus on 1 task without 5 other things popping up in your mind. Here is a quick 5 min video on the psychology of attention.
Your task this week:
Notice your attention span…Take a few days to focus on building your awareness around your attention.
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)
🤙🏾 Inspired by …
Chris Do is one of my go-to humans for inspiration for work, creative projects, and honesty. Here is a quick 15-minute video on tips for closing the loops to get things done. Enjoy!
🎨 Artists Who Inspire
Paper Lene
It’s just paper and art, but together, it’s details and such delicate flowers. I love the work of this artist. Meet Marlene, she creates this and other gorgeous flowers. Do yourself a favour and go check out her work.
🎶 Song of the week
This is honestly one of the best sets from them. If you want to know what Cape Town summer feels like, it’s in the sounds of Goldfish. Have this play while you work, clean, work out, or save it for a morning dance session.

“To travel is to wash your eyes.”
Opening up more of the world to you…this section will be shared by travelers. Feel free to reply with your travel pic and some words to share!
Murals for Gaza, Cape Town
I had a funny conversation with the couple next to me on the flight from Munich to Cape Town. They were heading to Cape Town for a vacation, and we were chatting about things to do. She mentioned that she loved the markets around Cape Town, and I told her about the incredible markets in Mexico and Oaxaca and how she should visit someday. He leaned over and asked me, “Isn’t Mexico dangerous?” …to which I replied,” You are on your way to South Africa.”
The world is full of dangerous spaces. Yes, some parts of Mexico and South Africa are dangerous. Yes, you need to be careful in these places. But also it should not stop you from exploring the world. Every single country in the world has a level of danger, you need to be aware and learn to navigate these spaces. Street smart is a very useful skill to grow for travel and life. (Also a skill overlooked when raising kids, you want your kids to be able to navigate the world with ease, this builds confidence)
✌🏾 Pay it forward
New Section Unlocked: This space is for any of you to share projects, go-fund mes, help needed, etc.
❤️
This is the start of something bigger but for now, this will be home to all projects, resources, and services for you to donate to, buy, or support. This section of the newsletter will stay and have a feature for each project/ ngo when added. So if you know of anything where we can make an impact please hit reply and let me know.
Final thoughts:
Be open to flexibility and spontaneous plans….that is usually where the magic happens!
“The greatest gift you can give anyone is your undivided attention...”
