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 |

There were a few mornings where I slept in a little later (8:00 being “later”) to get some additional rest, or instead of keeping to my Self to write, I hung out with the dads, helped make breakfast, or got...
“To be empowered—to be free, to be unlimited, to be creative, to be genius, to be divine—that is who you are…. Once you feel this way, memorize this feeling; remember this feeling. This is who you really are….” - Joe Dispenza Last evening, I found out that one of my instructors for my Registered Life Planner designation and a dear friend had unexpectedly passed away. As I reflected on our conversations outside of class, which always centered on the woo subjects we both believe in, I thought...
“The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.” -Robertson Davies I don’t know about you, but I’ve always thought that my eyes are what see the world in front of me. But the truth is our eyes don’t see anything, they just collect information and feed it to our brain—so it is our brain that actually sees. I don’t know how much our mind shapes the physical world we see—I don’t think we can make a tree appear that isn’t already there. But, I do know the world we see through...
