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 |

As life unfolds, be aware of how you are receiving it and make a conscious choice on how you want it to impact you. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
What’s missing? What’s missing from your life that is keeping you from waking up each morning excited to start the day? Start looking for ways to bring whatever is missing into your life, even in small ways. If it’s meant to be a part of your life, opportunities for it to grow will begin to present themselves, but they can’t start showing up if you don’t make the first move. Don’t put your Self in the position of looking back later in life regretting that you never gave your Self a chance to...
Last week, I was asked in a podcast recording how I define authenticity. You’d think I’d have a definition ready to roll, but I didn’t. I don’t think the definition of authenticity is complicated, and I shared that I really just think it means being true to your Self, true to your values. True to your values is important. But only if you know what your Authentic Self values. I think today, more than ever, people are living by values that are not aligned with their Authentic Self. Instead,...
