No, that’s not a typo in the title. It might be Christmas Eve, but I’m not talking about presents…I’m talking about presence. The holiday season is upon us, which hopefully means more time with family, friends, and other loved ones. While exchanging gifts and presents, don’t forget that the greatest gift you can give someone is your presence–being there with them in the moment without distraction. I’m guilty of not always being present in family settings…scrolling my phone while being semi-present to the conversations and people in the room. It’s not something I’m proud of, but now that I am more aware of it, I can do something about it. And what better time than Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas Day with my in-laws? I’m sure the sweater, shoes, or V-bucks you bought will be well received and appreciated, but I know your attention and presence will be appreciated even more. Over the next few days, give the greatest gift you can and be present with the loved ones in your life. JC |

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson Can you imagine what Emerson would say today? Even more so today is the world try to make you something other than your authentic Self. Do the work to connect with your authentic Self.Tune out the noise.Find the version of your Self that you were created to be.Everything will be what it is supposed to be. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
“Nothing delights the mind as much as loving and loyal friendships.” -Seneca It’s only fitting that today’s Daily Note ended up getting a last-minute change. This morning, I made a trip into downtown Indianapolis to meet a close friend and his family for breakfast. It was great to finally meet his wife and two boys, and it was even better to have a solid hour and a half to just talk with him. Towards the end of our conversation, we talked about what Seneca reminds us–I did not see this quote...
This week is fall break for the boys. Roman is in Florida with a friend and his family. Ang and Silas are at Disney for a few days. Leo decided to stay home for soccer, and I’d like to think to hang with his dad. This morning, Leo and I walked to our favorite coffee shop for coffee and donuts and had a great conversation on the way there (on the way home was also enjoyable). I asked Leo what he thought he might want to do when he is older, and he gave me the answer I expected: to play soccer....
