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 |

You'll also read how I plan to create new...
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...
