Death gives us a very clear reflection of our own mortality.
In the past month since my dad’s passing, I’ve seen the beautiful gift that death is.
For without death, what is life?
It is the end that allows us to assess the means of living.
Losing my dad has allowed me an exploration of my own life and the standards by which I live.
The standards of how I show up as a mom.
The standards of what I do as a business owner.
The standards of the giant Why, that Spike and I are going towards.
Instead of getting caught up in the gentle, suffocating hum of mediocrity, experiencing death first-hand has shocked me into living.
Things I didn’t even realize I had put off out of fear, I’m doing.
Dreams I hadn’t dared dream yet, are now in the planning stages of coming to fruition.
Goals I had put off to some other time, I decided are happening fucking now.
And that’s just the way of it.
Because what else is there beyond the now?
It is from this space of possibility and presence, that I continue to show up and create, leaning into courage, experiencing fear that I didn’t even know I had until now.
Doing this has scared the shit out of me.
And yet, I realized, I was hiding behind my words - cowering in the comfort of characters and letters.
Ironic, how it was less than a year ago when writing scared the pants off of me.
...Wonder what it will be next year? Haha.
With new episodes coming to you every Tuesday and Friday.
It is in releasing this that I challenge you…
What do you need to LIVE into that you would hate to have died inside of you?
What are the gifts you need to cultivate, create, and produce in this world NOW?
You never know when it is your time.
For that is where your reign is...now.
P.S. I dive into Legacy hardcore, in my friend Christina’s Legacy by Design Masterclass series. I brought it ALL to this interview series. We recorded it the day day after my dad’s memorial, as all the lessons, blessings, and learnings we’re still in their infancy, being formed.
This series is 100% FREE for you and it features me and 20+ exceptional and brilliant minds, top CEOs, pastors, marriage and family experts, best-selling authors, financial thought-leaders, and many more to educate, equip, and inspire families in building relational wealth (and that ain’t just about money.)
WEALTH is a legacy rooted in love, communication, and trust...and it’s one of my FAVORITE topics to talk about.
