This summer I will realize my ‘laptop lifestyle‘ goal. Yes I can and have been able to work from anywhere for years now, but I have found having a home-base is comforting and comfortable. I have yet to put all the ‘things’ in storage and just travel , no strings attached, for months…….
And this summer I’m doing it beginning end of May through Early August! The boys are on summer vacation and we’ve got some epic travel plans.
Support
I have totally amazing people in my world who love and support me – when I open my heart and let them. Why is it so hard to open ourselves to receiving all that is available to us? When we do, it’s magical.
Boundaries
I still struggle with people pleasing. I lower my boundaries, forget to stand in my power and just do and give what I believe people want… instead of what I know they and myself truly need, even when they don’t like it, even when it’s just to say thank you and NO.
No’s are supremely powerful for everyone. They allow us to manage expectations and create a situation where we all win without compromising WHO we are to ourselves and others.
Business
My business is shifting. I have some fabulous clients I’ve helped achieve major life and business goals with and I’ll continue to do so. And in these next few months a new chapter will open up.
I am running live workshops for business owners who want to finally use Automation to Obtain An ROI – in their business and in their life. I know for a fact that the RIGHT tech stack can change your life! I’m excited for this new chapter as I take my unique training and methodologies to a broader market.
Motherhood
My kids are growing so fast! I literally saw the next version of my daughter, a more mature grown up version of herself emerge as she was speaking to me the other day. It was a bit trippy and also a privilege to witness. I’m so proud of how she is choosing to show up, do the work and take on her world.
William is learning to drive, learning to manage himself (hello existence systems lol) and is blossoming both socially and in his own independence. Landon is a crazy quirky and loving human who is mastering the art of connection.
It’s all quite lovely to see and experience… and each day there is something new to learn about who they are and how I can show up as their mother.
Money
I’ve always been able to make money. It’s a given.
I’ve never been someone to save though. That is changing.
Focusing on Net-Worth instead of ‘income generated’ changes your priorities and the markers of your success. My boyfriend Richard demonstrates this to me each day. I’ve learned a lot from his example.
And while I have always preached ‘know your numbers’ in your business – I hadn’t yet mastered the art of understanding both the incoming and outgoing components. I was shocked to learn how many ‘millionaires’ have a negative net-worth. So they aren’t really millionaires, they are people who gross a lot each year, maybe 400K+ or 1Mill+ a year but their net-worth doesn’t reflect it so they are NOT good stewards of what they create.
My good friend April told me in high school – If you can’t be a good steward with what you are given, no more shall be given. And thanks to my sister Marlana for sharing Dave Ramsey’s Money Makeover book. My friend Jason told me the power in being debt free many many years ago…. I didn’t get it.
New goal: debt free, ZERO payments. Then all that fabulous money I am able to make will go so much farther so much faster. That is true freedom.
Winning with money is NOT about ‘more’. Money is nothing more than an amplifier of what and who you are. So be MORE. Inside. Be a good steward and realize it’s just an energetic exchange with the universe – so stop resisting.
Community
I have been saying that this year I wanted to focus on growing a truly connected community around myself this year. It’s so easy to get busy being busy in the work of… whatever.
But life is found in the experiences we have together as humans. Is the joy, the laughter, the love and support we can give each other. Not in ownership or attachments – but freely given and openly received. I’m happy to report I am manifesting that intention a little more each month and I can feel the effects of being more connected.
So I am continuing to say YES to getting out of the house and accepting that I DO BELONG, and am LOVED and MISSED when my presence is not there. I am also actively telling those people in my world how much they mean to me. It’s important for us to hear the words.
I am only using social media to further true connection and I spend a LOT less time on here these days. I find myself a lot happier away from the comparisons and dopamine hit that is FB.
Purpose Work
I have cultivated (through a LOT of blood sweat and tears and joy) the privilege of choosing my day, my week my month – and my work (My LIFE – Intentionally).
Our attention and focus is the most valuable asset we have for ourselves and others.
Where do you spend your attention?
Where do you focus your passion?
For me, choosing my inner purpose work – the things that light me up and leave me and those around me feeling fulfilled and better for having known me…. that is my goal moving into this next part of this year.
Gratitude
I’m so grateful to YOU. You who read this, you who show-up, you who believe in possibilities.
YOU are me. I am you.
When we all say yes to ourselves, we say yes to others.
Take care of YOU.
Ask yourself, what do I Desire? Deserve? Require? And give yourself permission to explore that and find balance in what your soul requires right now with no judgment. That is the key.
Big Love to US,
Patricia
