Whew! Safe from Milton. It was a very noisy night with tons of rain and tornado warnings. My mom stayed calm and so did I. Very grateful we are fine but sad for those who were affected.

Today I read a quote that said something in the lines of "life is change. Growth is optional" and I had to reflect on it for a minute, feeling profound gratitude for another incredible Fall day, a delightful lunch with @Valerie Kendall (who provides the most amazing hugs), a squeezed in power session at the gym and the opportunity to share the wins and a minute of daily gratitude with this community. Because here we choose Growth every single day, and we choose it with intention. Few people feel and are part of communities that grow. We are incredibly lucky. As per embracing the change.... I had a great walk with the dog in a sunny morning, a short and wet one in the afternoon and a very snow-white, slippery one tonight....🙄... Not impressed by the 3rd walk.... Not impressed at all.... But can't change it, so let's embrace that as well.

I've been invited to do a short 15 - 20 minute talk as part of the Being Movement's events, alongside some other extraordinary speakers. I'll go on this coming Wed at 12:50pm Pac or so. I'll be sharing some cool and vulnerable things that you haven't heard from me before.

I just can’t have enough of the beautiful Fall Colors at this time of the year… grateful for each day with incredible light andstll warm temperatures

Wendy, thank you for mentioning the Expectation Hangover. I purchased it on Kindle and haven't been able to put it down. So many questions I've had now have answers. One major change coming up for me that I've been afraid to make is to leave my current job. It was supposed to be temporary but because it offered me the flexibility I needed to take my now 90 yrs old mom, who has vascular dementia and mobility issues, to her doctor's appointments I stayed. The environment at work is emotionally and environmentally toxic. I used to justify tolerating it by saying to myself that every job has it challenges and I just have to learn to navigate them. Well this October I'm taking a one month medical leave to have a salivary gland tumor on the right side of my face removed. It's a major surgery and I've been taking serious stock. I've also been reminding myself of all the great tools and truths I've learned here and have successfully applied. Taking stock is one of them. After taking Stock I decided that I will leave my job current job after I recuperate from surgery. At this time I don't have a well thought out plan of how I'm going to make the transition from employee to entrepreneur once again. What I do know is that the part of me that believes I can do it is not worried about the how. I know I don't have to have everything in place to move forward. I know that each step will be revealed to me as it's needed. Over the yrs I've been practicing The Cure I've been through many challenges. The Cure has helped me successfully navigate each one of them. I'm confident I will do so again. I'm I nervous? Yes, but not so much that it interferes with me taking steps to go forward. Again, thank you Wendy and this community for all you do to help and support everyone of us.
