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 |

I don’t think you need to or should wait until January 1 to start doing something different that is going to help you move closer to your goals. But,...
I hope you had a great week! A little heads up--I'm working on a short Google survey to find out what would make these Weekly Notes more valuable, or if they are what you prefer as they are. I'm contemplating going back to curating a few pieces of content each week that align with the Authentic Life, but I only want to dedicate the energy towards curation if enough people say they'd like it. This week, I dropped another episode of Convos with Friends on AlignedLife and am excited for more...
This morning, while I was making breakfast for Silas, a thought entered my mind, “I wonder if people understand WHY I write the Daily Notes, record AlignedLife, write more on the AlignedLife blog, create videos, and give talks about the Authentic Life?” I’m not sure. I then thought to my Self, “Why do I?” I asked this not because I don’t know the answer, but just as a reminder that my why is not business-related; my business is tertiary behind self-expression and helping others–it’s the...
