Hello Reader,
This week I've been mulling over a statement that was buried in my inbox:
"So many women are wanting to write a book, but are unsure how to get started in a holistic way that supports their lives, time, livelihood and unrestrictive creativity."
I wonder if you relate to that in any way.
Remember those days (for many) when the pandemic shut the world down, and we cancelled "busyness" from our lives? So many families appreciated the togetherness at home rather than driving around, filling their evenings with sports and activities.
We have a dream, a calling, but we don't want to compromise our values, our family, our health, our peace to make it happen.
This month, in my year of GRACE, I'm pondering questions such as...
- what does living with "more BEING, less DOING" look like?
- what are ways I can accomplish MORE with LESS?
It starts with CLARITY--knowing what's most important to you and what your goals are for each season.
INTENTIONALITY is a key part, as well. A bouquet of
- mini habits that reflect your goals
- knowing what good things to say "no" to for this season
- accountabilty to keep you focused on what will matter most in this season and years from now
Lastly, I see that PRESENCE is essential. This could mean
- quiet minutes with your thoughts
- journalling
- feeling what you feel
- cultivating moments of wonder and gratitude
- listening instead of talking or doing
May you delight in today and plan for what's important to you--and your legacy.
