Acorns. I have a thing for them. Always have. I can offer no explanation. No back story from childhood. They just make me smile. Maybe it’s because when I hold one I see the possibility of what it will someday grow into. A mighty oak tree. Strong. Resilient. I have a bowl of them sitting on the oak chest in my kitchen to remind me that it’s up to us to redefine what’s possible in our lives.

It’s been a week you guys. I finished a project with my fabulous brand voice mentor Kate K. McCarthy.  We’re taking a breather for implementation before we dive into our next project. Her work with me is pure magic and I’m so grateful for what we’ve accomplished.

I’ve been watching behind the scenes as revisions to my website unfold. It looks the same on the outside but a lot has changed on the inside. Kind of like us when we go through significant transformation! It’s getting closer to my vision for You Have To Just Start.

I’ve watched from afar as my beautiful daughter celebrates her 32nd birthday with her husband in New Orleans. 32! How can this be?

I’ve said goodbye to a long time dear friend at my gym who last a long hard fight with cancer. I’m missing him.

I’ve finished up my fourth training session at the gym with Rose. I’m in awe of his amazing coaching skills. I’ve learned so much from working with him – not just the actual one-on-one training to learn correct technique, but also benefiting from his constant encouragement and belief in my potential. Now it’s up to me to just do it. I’ll keep you posted on my progress.

So back to the acorn and possibilities. That tiny acorn feels to me like You Have To Just Start. Our community is going to grow into something strong and mighty. I’m excited to share this journey with you and so grateful you’re here, because YOU are what this is all about.

More news is coming soon! But first, a nap. This week has worn me out!

Your biggest fan!
