I shared this as an Omen yesterday, but I know the Omens are relatively undiscovered at this moment and might be seen in the Weekly Note that you’ll receive later today, but I wanted to share this as a Note to give it a chance for more people to see. I hope that it: 1.) Encourages anyone thinking of doing something similar, or not similar, to follow their intuition, even if it goes against past experiences and “logic” as accepted by society. 2.) Encourages more people to respond to Notes,...

“In indigenous ways of knowing, it is understood that each living being has a particular role to play. Every being is endowed with certain gifts, its own intelligence, its own spirit, its own story. Our stories tell us that the Creator gave these to us, as original instructions. The foundation of education is to discover that gift within us and learn to use it well.” - Robin Wall Kimmerer Thanks to The Leading Edge for putting this quote in front of me today–it may have to go into the copy on...

If what you are directing your energy towards is not aligned with your Authentic Life, redirect it towards things that are. Not only is it a waste of your energy, which isn’t infinite, but it will probably begin to weigh on you over time and begin to spill into other areas of your life. Use your energy as an extension of your Authentic Self, directing it as much as possible to things aligned with your Authentic Life. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC

Earlier this week, I experienced my first energy mapping session, and it was really cool. I’ve begun to enjoy exploring these different tools that I probably definitely would have dismissed in the past–I have yet to experience one that hasn’t made sense to me where I was at that time. This particular session covered multiple relevant areas, but in particular, there was a lot of energy and conversation around “letting go” in simple terms. I’ve written about the importance and difficulty of...

The Authentic Life doesn’t operate on a timeline; at least not one you can control. This is why we pursue our Authentic Life, continuing to evolve as we embody the current version of ou Authentic Life and move towards the future version we hold in our mind—yes, we should only be focused on the present Authentic Life and maybe I/we will get there as our consciousness expands and elevates, but it’s difficult not to think about where we want to be. So listen to your heart and intuition. Follow...

“Not what we have but what we enjoy constitutes our abundance.” -Epicurus This is why millionaires can be miserable, while someone with just enough to get by can be full of joy. Abundance is not quantitative, but qualitative. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC

“Sometimes your purpose in this world is not something you do, but someone you become.” - Brianna Wiest A friend shared this quote in a community I'm part of, and it jumped out at me. It made me think about whether I talk enough about how the path to your Authentic Life can be found in who you evolve into. I think I present the idea that we need to go internal, rather than looking external, when we are trying to discover our Authentic Self and align with our Authentic Life, but I’m not...

I hope you had a great weekend! As you know, a couple of weeks ago, I was in Arizona for a retreat to kick off the Integrated Wealth Advisor certificate program I am participating in over the next eight months. I planned on writing more about the retreat, and I may still, but I just wanted to share a little insight from this week's first day of class. The level of excitement and energy I felt during class confirmed that the IWA is exactly what I am supposed to be doing this year with my time...

Social media continues to show me why I am less and less drawn to spend time on it–I’m working up the courage to bail on it, with the exception of using it to distribute content and document life on IG for my Self. I saw a post saying that J. Cole is the most performative hip-hop artist, trying to convince everyone that he is humble. SMH. For those not familiar with why someone would post this, J. Cole, who happens to be 1.b in my favorite artists (with 1.a Kendrick Lamar), just released his...
