Worth a share…make the time 💜

Take the time because time doesn’t wait for you to catch up. You have to find the time, my friend.

I’m sitting at the airport waiting to board a plane to Minneapolis. I’m going home, at least where home was for most of my life. I’m going home to the home that was my home for almost twenty years.

I’m visiting my parents.

Several years ago I watched a video by Jesse Itzler about time and doing what one needs to do. We assume we always have time — time to say “I love you” and time to forgive and time to let go and time to visit and yet we don’t know how much time we actually have.

The point is not to wait.

And maybe it’s not about getting on a plane and visiting (but if you can, do it). Maybe it’s about sending a note to a friend, trying new things, and telling those you love that you love them.

Maybe it’s about mending the relationship or giving back or really investing in your story.

The older I get the more I realize how valuable this resource of time truly is - it’s the one thing we wish we had more of when loved ones die or things change or people move away - and yet so often we live assuming we have an unlimited supply.

You have now. Today.

So today, before the holidays, take the time to share with those you love how important they truly are to you.

Take the time. You won’t regret that.

It makes a difference.

Time is such a gift.

✨We got ready for the week on Sunday evening✨
We had a calming, grounding event last night starting with a guided meditation by Jess bringing awareness to our breath and our body.
Then we opened ourselves to the soothing sounds of Karin's Tibetan singing bowls while I brought in the nurturing and healing touch of Reiki.
It allowed us to release what we no longer needed. And we welcomed a calm mind, a relaxed body.
We left feeling nurtured and recharged. Ready to take on this week.
Thanks to Atlas Peak PT for hosting us!

“True friendship is one of the rarest forms of love — the kind that doesn't demand perfection but embraces evolution. It's standing beside someone through their chaos, growth, healing, mistakes, and rebirths
— and still choosing them every time.
There's something sacred about the friends who've seen every version of you — the loud one, the lost one, the broken one, and the becoming one - and never stopped showing up with the same warmth. These are the souls who don't need explanations because they've witnessed your heart even when words failed you.
Keep those people close — the ones who remind you that love isn't about who you were, but about walking with you into who you're becoming.”
