I’ve just stumbled across your publication and I love your bite-sized daily doses of reminders of encouragement. I really need this now more than ever. I’ve subscribed and I’m looking forward to parusing past posts and receiving new ones!

By the way, I feel like I’m really resilient - I’ve been through a thing or two and I’m still standing! But intrepid is something I aspire to.

Hi Serena! You can't know how much your message meant—that my writing met you where you are and feels like some of the encouragement you need right now. Taking the time to let me know means a bunch, and I hope what I share helps keep your dreamer spirits up.

Anyone who says they've "been through a thing or two" has been through MUCH more than that. Understaters are some of my favorite people.

I'm so glad you're here🫶

Thank you Emily! I appreciate your kind message. I think you got me pegged with 'understater'. 😉 I made a commitment to myself to be discriminating about the kind of people, energetically, I surround myself with--meaning kind and uplifting. So I'm glad to be here too!

Those commitments to self are so powerful, and three hearty cheers for intentionally choosing kind and uplifting people and environments to invite in to your world. "Uplifting" is such a great word, and one I strive to have describe MTYL

I can tell being uplifting is what you strive for and are — I mean, just look at your publication name - More To Your Life - I love it! 😁I have a framed note on my desk that says “You have much more living to do.”

I love words that transmit! Totally resonate with both of these. One of my favs is audacity. And I have another one that is going to be part of a post next week. Can't wait to share it with you.

Speaking of great words, "transmit" is one I haven't heard in ages. And oooo, audacity is a word that's fun to say (the phrase "audacious hope" comes to mind) and fun to try and live. Can't wait to hear your other favorite one next week.

It delights me to know this, and I love how you phrased that! They have the same effect on me.

Sadly, mine gets summed up as “cowardly”.

But I keep fighting to be better every day and less conflict-averse.

If you are in situations where you feel conflict-averse, or feel the stir to be courageous, I'd say you're being more intrepid than you give yourself credit for!
