Hello Friend,

We are here. 

I don't know how things are on your end, but over here - the wind is entering the endless-ness I'd prefer to feel about a summer day.

Not this.

But, as much as it puts me on hold from so much I seek to do, I can't blame it for everything.

And so let's bring it back to here and now where we stop, take a breath, and let yesterday go.

I am liking the idea of two new steps?

More concrete than 'who do you want to be?'

and thus hopefully more likely you will take this idea in.

All in good time.

And how about another deep breath for good measure!

I'll be honest, I am feeling a bit on the sad side right in this moment.  I felt such hope yesterday evening I could hardly sleep.

The feeling of so many pieces pulling together after too long left on their own.

But this is what I have learned.  I lose my truth when I spend too much time with others whose version of truth is too different than my own.

I believe we should seek new ideas.

But not on the cusp of our own while they are still taking shape and form.

And this is the important part.... with a bit of patience the effects of the other will wear off and the truth of my own will return.

I've had a lot of practice and so I know it works... if I don't do something to disrupt the natural flow of this.

And with that, my letter to you is getting long so I will say good bye for today.

First, one more deep breath.  One more moment shared.  One more truth remembered.

My faith in you is absolute.

I know this to be true.

So from my heart to yours
I will see you in 24,
Jill

Hello Friend,

We are here!  It is a new day and with it, renewed hope.

I've got a theme going today

I wanted to share it with you, today, in this moment.

But first, let us bring it all back - to stop, take a breath, focus, let go.....

because that is where we can both come to and begin again - to stand, walk, run...

... what ever you choose for today.

I talk about this in the podcast, but it bears repeating.  I ask you every day who you want to be, but I think there is a better way to say this:

The long winded version we do by audio!

I am so glad!!!  I don't want to keep being less so you will walk this journey with me.  I want to be more so I am asking you to be more.

To read or listen or watch - wherever it fits.

Not to tell you who to be or what to do - but to rise up and stand with me in this magnificent challenge our world is DARING us to be...

MORE - not to get more, but to BE MORE.

Which brings me back to wild and the wildness that is in us begging to get out.

But first, it takes the desire for freedom, the discipline to be free - and from that point - REAL WILDNESS can take hold of our hearts and we can become.

Will you join me?  I am here, every day - with you or waiting for you.

Here is a piece of this journey from my heart:

And that is all I have to share with you today.

I will return in this place at the same time tomorrow - will you be here?

Will you commit?  If not to here, to what?

These hard things to do - vigilance, discipline, responsibility, focus - they are what we must DO to become the good things - great and filled with the courage of pure guts.

Awesome really - though rarely easy.

But until then and from my heart to yours
I will see you in 24

Hello Friend

You are here!  Good you.

And with that, no video today - still mulling and hopeful someday soon I will get this!

But until then, it is you and me right here.

Taking it 24 hours at a time and because of that:

Simple, powerful, easier said than done, but very doable!

Getting your self back to neutral can be hard when you are holding on to a lot.

So how about 3 deep breaths and then try again?

I haven't thought about that word for a while, what does it mean to you?

To me it feels unrestrained - something very difficult to do unless you are away from human eyes.

Nature doesn't mind.  Mostly it is all it knows.  It respects the boundaries - yours and mine.

Not humans with all the rules.

So in this time with you today I'll throw that back at you to think about a bit.

Do you have any wildness left in you?  Or too much!

There is probably no less wild place in all the world than the middle of the week!

But in a day by day world, it is just another day.

Which means another moment to choose again.

I choose more wild.

What do you choose?

I look forward to seeing what you choose.

see you my friend in 24,
Jill

The earth moved and yes, there is a new video:

Hello Friend,

It is a new day and we are here.  Good Us!!!

It is a busy day today for me, how about you?  I am still amazed by how much busyness still exists even though it is simplicity I seek.

I have a couple things to share with you today. The video is above, but there is also a podcast just below.

Today I talked about making decisions and how much impact every decision has.  The smallest choice can have life altering consequences.

I hope you get something out of it here:

As always in our time here I am reminded that this is my moment and I hope yours to stop and take a breath, let yesterday go and decide for today.

But I want to add more elements to this.

I am becoming ever more convinced as I shared in the podcast, it is the culmination of the daily and tiny decisions that pave the road to any greatness we will achieve.

The same is true for survival. Listening to what is happening down in Venezuela I am reminded again it is who we are more than what we buy that will make or break us.

Prepared isn't just about stuff.

Kindness and being gentle isn't enough.

I send my prayers to them as I send them to you for wherever you are - strong and on the run or just working on the standing part.

But as always, my faith in your real strength - the deep down kind I know you have - is unwavering.

Of this I can be certain.

The wind?  Not so much, sigh - it is beginning as I am typing....

So with that I will let you go.

Strong and faithful - that is what we are.

Life and freedom - that is what I seek.  You? 

From my heart to yours,
see you in 24 - Jill

Hello Friend!

We are here and with that, the hard part is done!  I have so much I want to tell you from the last few days, but it is still 'percolating' a bit, so it will have to wait.

But first, let's get our basics out of the way - stop, take a breath, and now let's focus.

The rest of the day is all you. 

What will you do with your day?

My list is really long, as usual.  I got some of those pesky kind of tasks done this weekend.  Mornings were glorious.  Afternoons were more wind.

Every freakin' day it is windy.

But what it has really made clear is how many things over the course of every day that try and take me down.

Often they do.  I get raging at them doesn't help, but I also find my self exhausted by the end of the day from dealing with them.

And worse, getting angry at my self for letting them get to me.

Does any of that sound familiar for you?  Spending so much time alone I some times lose a frame of reference for what others are going through - I mean seeing it and not just the highlight version!

I'm asking you because I asked my self that question too.  It's part of what I'll be talking about in the videos and podcast tomorrow.

Yes, tomorrow I am committing to get back to video - I miss it, do you?

Either way, it keeps me more focused and that is the goal.

So with that I think I'll sign off for the day.  It is all you now.  Who will you be?  How will you spend it?

And as always, sometimes it is enough to just not do anything.  Much easier to not do than the kind of thing you can't undo.... which includes a dozen donuts in one sitting:)

No, I didn't ever do it, but I did think about it!

So until tomorrow and from my heart to yours
see you in 24
Jill
