Super proud of my husband for owning this step and watching the impact with humility

Thanks Wendy - starting to feel like maybe I should write more content like this more often !

"Something about the way children move through fear is very different. They feel it, but they don’t negotiate with it for thirty years." I love this so much.

Thanks Mona, it was amazing to watch how my son just went and did a front flip no problems just after my one… I wouldn’t have been brave enough at his age to try something like that

Ha - that might be the best reply I’ve ever had to a post… go for it and please report back your story so others do it too! Spread the flip !

I absolutely love this.... it truly moved me to read this story - the backflip and the deeper importance of recognizing that our time is short and life is calling.

So many sparks in this article and in the work you are doing!

If you end up in Toronto call me. Bring your family over for dinner..... I am pretrt sure we could talk all night. 😊

Thanks Katherine ! Your words of support mean a lot. And I’ve always wanted to visit Canada and if we do I surely will take up that offer ! 🙏

May I please use these words as an endorsement on my next newsletter, Kathrine ?

BTW Substack might be the death of me. ROFL…… I can’t get anything done because I keep falling across interesting people.

Soon there will be an AI to solve that problem I imagine 🧐
