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 |

The reason people don’t like or even hate others is not because of the other person, it’s because they don’t love their Selves. Because if you...
“When you can see the greatness in others, that means you can see the greatness in your Self.” -George Mumford If you’re having trouble finding confidence in your Self, try to finding confidence in others by seeing the greatness in them. By identifying the greatness in others, it might be the shift in perspective that you need to find the greatness in your Self. I’ve stated many times and still subscribe to the concept that the world is a mirror of your internal state, which would make you...
I hope you had a great weekend! Last week's Note had a lot of content to catch you up on; this week's it's just the Notes and an episode of AlignedLife. There will be another great episode of AlignedLife this week, I'm working on an AlignedLife blog post, and I MIGHT have the video from my Baltimore trip complete as well. This weekend, I started a new approach to how we handle our family finances--I'm not only trying to make sure we allocate our resources as a family in alignment with our...
