the monthly practice
Everything I’m going to tell you,
you already know
You already know you should put on your own oxygen mask first.
You already know the answers aren’t found outside of you.
You just need to be able to access that knowing when the shit hits the fan. (Or when the person doesn’t use their turn signal.)
These monthly practices are simple enough that they’re readily available in the heat of the moment, so we can access our own wisdom and remember what we already know.
To remember is divine.
That’s practice by definition: trying something again and again until it’s second nature.
Get back on the horse when you remember. Period.
Can you fail at the practice?
One whole month.
Get back on the horse when you remember. Period.
Why not a daily email?
Because that would be overwhelming.
A daily email is both too often and not enough.
We just need the simplest little practice.
Because anything complicated is too hard to grab when our emotions, thoughts, and other people are all competing for our attention.
But if we make it simple, then it’s accessible.
And instead of trying to remember 1,000 things, we’re trying to do one thing:
Take one idea and put it into play in every situation that presents itself.
Every moment that presents.
the whole backstory anymore.
You see the reminder.
breathe new life into the practice.
Two- out of sight, out of mind is real.
Having a physical thing in our environment where we see it repeatedly gives us more opportunities to remember.
Why a sticker?
They’re cute, and they stick to things.
But the sticker isn’t the practice.
The practice is what you’re subscribing to.
The sticker is just one of the tools I use to help us remember.
Because you can’t (politely) look at your email while you’re talking to someone.
But you can look at your water bottle.
The same thing every month.
Remembering what’s True.
It takes practice.
It’s not something we become worthy of through hard work or good deeds.
It’s ours– by design.
Ours means everyone.
Me. You. You. You. (And yes, even YOU!)
And by design means two things.
It means a beautiful life is ours by birthright.
It’s in our blueprints.
And it means we design our experience through what we think, what we choose, and where we put our attention.
There you’ll find a downloadable pdf with the reflection, things to ponder, and an opportunity to journal if you want to.
Honestly?
Someone suggested it, and I liked it.
It seems very ambitious.
But I love that calling you the first 100 assumes there will be so many more.
And it all starts with you.

I don’t have it all figured out.
Not even close.
In fact:
My two favorite ways to fly
are first class and by the seat of my pants.
But I am certain that the Universe has our back.
And I’m damn interested in seeing what happens when a whole bunch of us start practicing like that’s True.
Come practice with me.
