Day 40 (Saturday 7.30.22)

On the one hand, I think … how are we here? And what happens now?

And on the other, I trust: YES. It is time. We are ready.

What you have shared with me, how you’ve shown up for this program, each other, and most especially yourselves is astounding.

Thank you.

In my wildest, of wildest — in the many years I carried this idea for 40 Early Mornings around in my heart  — I couldn’t have even hoped for this community and these lessons I’ve received from each of you.

Here’s the teeniest snap shot of the wisdom you’ve shared with me —

  • that checking the right boxes only gets us so far

  • that possibility is the flip side of uncertainty

  • that life has no room anymore for perfectionism — please note, perfectionism: you are no longer welcome here

  • how to show up with consistency, clarity, and devotion

  • that I can trust my body, its wisdom

  • NO. BIG. DEAL.

  • “that counts!”

  • that showing up in community is vibrant, palpable, and the realest of the real (even virtual reality ;)

  • that each of you is, simply, amazing

LEAVE A COMMENT: IN ONE SENTENCE, WHAT ARE YOU WALKING AWAY FROM THESE 40 DAYS WITH?

Thank you.

Thank you.

For now, our official journey is over.

As I said in yesterday’s last group live, some places you might go from here:

  1. you might pause and just celebrate this ending (see the video below for more on that)

  2. you have everything you need to keep going with this momentum and practicing on your own with YOUR plan

  3. stay tuned for where and how we can practice together next (I’ll give your inbox some breathing room for now!)

Until then — you know where to find me. And I'm always here for you. (Even if my email response time is far from record setting ;)

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

P.S. A love note from a day 40 last spring. The message is still the same (except the part when I say 40 is coming back in December, because dear ones, 40 is resting in her new afterlife now ;))
