Day 210 of 2025- Move Forward Anyways

 Hi Friends,

In my last post, I shared Walt Disney’s words: “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.”
What he didn’t say but definitely lived is that doing the impossible also comes with fear.

Fear of failure.
Fear of not being enough.
Fear of starting.

But here’s the thing being the leader of your own life doesn’t mean fear disappears.
It means you act in spite of it.

Disney didn’t wait to feel fearless. He led forward with vision, grit, and belief. And you can too.

So what’s your “impossible”?
And what would leading through the fear look like today?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 209 of 2025- The Impossible

 Hi Friends,

Walt Disney once said, "It's kind of fun to do the impossible."

I agree though let’s be honest, it can also be scary. But that fear? It’s usually a sign you’re onto something meaningful.

Disney made the impossible real through hard work and perseverance two traits every great leader builds. And being the leader of your own life means embracing both.

So, what’s the “impossible” you’ve been thinking about lately? And what’s stopping you from starting?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 208 of 2025-Another Day Of No Events

 Hi Friends,

Woke up this Sunday to another “no events scheduled for today” email.
And just like yesterday, it brought a quiet kind of joy.

Two slow days in a row feels like a gift especially when I’ve been running on low energy. The jet lag hasn’t fully worn off, but rest like this helps.

I spent the morning making breakfast for myself and for the kids, sipping coffee without checking the clock, and letting the day unfold on its own. No rush, no pressure.

I’m realizing how much I need this kind of time not just once in a while, but regularly. Time that isn’t filled, but full. Full of small things that actually matter.

Here’s to slow Sundays and empty calendars. May we protect more of them.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 207 of 2025-No Events Weekend

 Hi Friends,

This morning, I got an email that said, “You have no events scheduled for today.”
It made me feel so happy and honestly, relieved.

I love weekends like this. No plans, no obligations. Just space to rest, reset, and recover especially after jet lag that’s really worn me out. Sunday looks the same, and I’m grateful for that.

Waking up today knowing I didn’t have to be anywhere felt like a small win. All I had to do was grab some groceries and cook for my kids two things I genuinely enjoy.

I know the rest of this year will call for more of these “no event” weekends time to recharge, protect my energy, and be present with myself and my family.

So here’s to a quiet weekend. I hope you get one too.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 206 of 2025- Recovery Weekend

 Hi Friends,

This is my recovery weekend.

After getting back from vacation, the jet lag hit hard. Between catching up on work, unpacking, and tackling home errands, it’s been a full and exhausting few days.

That said, the trip was amazing. I’m grateful for the time away and just as grateful to be home.

Recovery for me means resetting my sleep, eating better, and slowing down enough to actually enjoy being back.

Wishing you a restful weekend too.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 205 of 2025- Jet Lag Energy

 Hi Friends,

The feeling of jet lag is hitting really hard from this trip, but as I learn to manage it, I am also learning about how to manage my energy and time during this jet lag phase.

Instead of pushing through or trying to get everything done at once, I’m listening to my body. I’m giving myself permission to rest when needed, and focusing on small, important tasks when I have the energy. I'm learning to pace myself, plan ahead, and be more intentional with how I spend my time.

Jet lag is temporary, but these lessons in self-awareness and self-management are lasting. Sometimes the best way to move forward is taking care of yourself first.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 204 of 2025- Leaving Laptop Behind

 Hi Friends,

In my recent vacation reflection post, I talked about the value of taking time away. But today, I want to go a little deeper into that idea.

For years, I believed in taking time for myself and my family but my actions didn’t always reflect that belief. Every trip, I packed my work laptop. Just in case. I told myself I wouldn’t use it much. But it was always there, pulling my attention back to work.

This time, I made a different choice. I left the laptop behind.

And the vacation felt different. Better. More present.

The focus shifted—fully—to my family and what we wanted to do. We explored new places, tried new foods, and followed no schedule. There was consistency in how we approached each day with curiosity and openness. And there was discipline, too—not in doing more, but in doing less.

Discipline isn’t always about pushing harder. Sometimes, it’s about knowing when to pause.
Sometimes, rest is the work.

This trip reminded me that boundaries create freedom. Saying no to the laptop meant saying yes to deeper connection, better rest, and real joy. And now, I don’t just believe in taking time off I live it.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace
