This Week: How Do You Want to Be?

Mindfulness, Newsletter

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”  ― Maya Angelou

My week is extremely full with meetings, presentations, classes, social gatherings and one-on-one connections. When things on the outside feel really stacked, that’s always a signal to me to slow down, pause, check-in and reflect on how I want to BE.

Watch a 2-minute video on the Live Inside Out question I’m sitting with this week:

Want support for exploring how to cultivate your desired state of being? Read more about ways to embrace the art/science of self-care. and consider joining like-hearted women from across North Carolina and beyond for a one-day self-renewal retreat on Lake Logan on Friday, April 25th from 9-5 p.m.: Tending Your Creative Fire. Together we’ll refill our wells, reflect on “What is uniquely mine to do?” and ignite/support one another individually and collectively as we head into this wild new era.

Warmly,

mindfulness
