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 |

When you are aligned with your Authentic Self and living your Authentic Life, things just happen to fall into place, and often in ways you...
This morning I sent a voice note to an old friend of mine. I say old because, over the last few years, our friendship faded, and I’m not really sure why. The story I’ve told my Self to accept the loss of this friend is that sometimes people come into our lives for a specific reason and time, which may not be as long as we’d like. As I’ve evolved, numerous relationships that were really important to me have evolved, and it has been much easier to see why and be at peace with the natural...
“Your new life is going to cost you your old one.” -Brianna Wiest This quote might sound scary because the cost of your old life is comfort, familiarity, and might even extend to friends, career, and other hard-to-let-go parts of your life. But, if your new life is your Authentic Life, the excitement of possibility and the feeling of alignment will outweigh the fear of letting go. If you’re not living the life you feel called to live, keep exploring and experimenting until you discover your...
