This is the hardest episode I've ever recorded, but it's deeply important to me to show up for you authentically. Usually, that's as the "happiness and joy" podcaster, but I now also need to honor when I'm in a season that's heavy and grief-filled.
Because I'm learning that joy and grief are two sides of the same coin, and they're both part of our human experience. So I'm going to hold space within me, and here on the podcast, for both.
So it's in David's memory, and to honor all that he taught me, that I record this episode for him, for me, and for you today.
I'm still deeply in this season of grief, but there are beautiful things I learned from David that I feel are important to share. Things like embracing the current moment, enjoying the simple pleasures of life, and how we're all capable of sharing love.
If after listening, you too want to support David's Memorial Fund at the Naples Zoo, you're welcome to do so at https://www.napleszoo.org/donate with a note that it's "In memory of David Freyhof."
With infinite love, I bring this episode to you, friend.

“Who doesn’t love spreading a little bit of joy and gratitude? And who doesn’t love to be on the receiving end of that too?”

You may remember Garciela Moore who was on the podcast earlier this week talking about hope, joy, and gratitude. Well, after our conversation I received the sweetest, kindest thank you note in the mail from her! She included a few little gifts tucked into the envelope and it was such a sweet, unexpected surprise and I was so grateful for her thoughtfulness!

After receiving Graciela’s kind gesture, it got me thinking about thank you cards and why they make us feel warm and loved as both the sender and the recipient.

Join me today in this mini episode as I talk about the science and the emotions behind expressing gratitude, as well as a three-step formula on how to write your own gratitude notes.

Are you ready to listen in and learn how to express gratitude? Let’s do this!

Let’s create a vision board that will motivate, inspire, and encourage you to show up for your one and only beautiful life!

If you are wondering if “Vision Boards work or are they too woo woo” you can listen to this episode here where I talk about how they really do work! And if you’re ready to dive into creating your own vision board, I go into the Ten Steps To Craft a Vision Board That Actually Works here.

When I create a vision board I always want the vision I’m casting to be both attainable and aspirational.

I then have a series of steps I go through as I create my vision board:

• I meditate and visualize in vivid detail what my life looks like one year from now, and then I journal all about it.
• Then I complete the IIN Circle of Life exercise - this exercise quickly and easily gives you a snapshot of where you are in this season of life and helps you see where things are going well and other areas that might need more love and attention.
• Always remember to print photos of yourself so you can see yourself on your vision board - this is your vision, after all!
• Include inspiring images and your word of the year if you have one. If you need help deciding on a word I did an episode on how to choose a word.
• Gather fun supplies such as colored pencils, markers, and washi tape
• Frame it and hang it where you can see it and be inspired by it daily!

Are you ready to set goals and craft your 2022 vision board!?
