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 |

We were without internet for most of the day, which kept me from doing much of the work I needed to, including writing a Daily Note. Once our service came back, I prioritized a new show on the AlignedLife podcast that I was really excited to get out yesterday—I needed to download, edit, upload, write copy, and post the episode on my website; it’s a lot of work...
“Manifesting isn’t just about visualizing what you want and waiting for it to happen. It’s about being clear on your why, cultivating self-worth, aligning your behaviour with the person you want to become, stepping outside your comfort zones, developing an attitude of gratitude, growing through challenges, and trusting in the Universe so that you can surrender to the journey.” -Roxie Nafousi I know the word "manifestation” makes many people uncomfortable. I often cringe when I see someone on...
“You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down.” - Toni Morrison A nice continuation of yesterday’s Note about changing the inputs if you aren’t happy with your outputs. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
