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 |

Give your Self permission to dream. Dreaming doesn’t mean you have to pursue, but I’m willing to bet the more you dream, the more curious...
Yesterday, I saw a comment somewhere that people are more polite and thankful to their GPTs than they are to other people. I didn’t fact-check it, but I can see there being some truth to this. Even if it’s not true, the fact that it is believable is sad. This morning, I finally listened to a voice note from a college friend I had been sitting on until I could be present and not distracted. He shared with me that he was starting a practice of sending someone a voice note each week to let them...
I’ve never been to an AA meeting, but on various podcasts, I’ve heard plenty about the 12 Steps that have been so successful in helping people struggling with addiction find their way to sobriety. I’ve noticed how many of these steps are applicable outside of fighting an addiction. For the last week, anytime I’ve been in the car with Roman, I’ve had George Mumford’s Unlocked playing on Spotify; I’m determined to help the boys master their minds and begin to see the benefits of meditation.
