Happy Thanksgiving Eve Eve, pretty people.
 
I hope you are carving (lol!) away some time for yourself in these next few super busy days.
 
Perhaps taking a bath or a meandering walk while listening to a podcast?

Today’s date is a fun one to pontificate over a bit — the number 11 which we are in the 11th month, doubled, is 22.
 
It’s the 22nd, and the year is 2022.
 
It’s just kind of neat, and we won’t ever have this date ever again.
 
So take a deep breath and let it fill up your lungs —
 
life is wonderful.
 
I am so happy you are here.
 
This is a great listen — I’ve now listened to it twice, and each time I got a different juicy nugget. Beth, a former coaching client of mine, called in and said that she recently discovered that she was Codependent and wanted to know my thoughts.
 
And honestly?
 
Her declaration of being codependent threw me for a loop.
 
a literal loop.
 
 
because I do not think of her this way.
 
So take a listen — and see what rings true for YOU.
 
Sometimes we hear labels or diagnoses and hear OURSELVES — but not everything can be labeled or placed into a container.
 
and that’s what is fun about being human.
 
and living.
 
NOW.
 
who you were a few months ago does not define you.
 
your past job, your past relationship, your parents, your schooling, the books you’ve read —
 
NONE of that defines who you are right this very second.
 
Only you get to decide what thoughts to think and what they mean about you.
 
And me? the thoughts I think about you are filled with joy and love and compassion and wonderment.
 
Have a very happy Thanksgiving.
 
lots and lots of love and a great big huge honking hug.
I think you are wonderful.
