Dear First name / Friend,
Happy Summer.
This month's newsletter is a bit different than our standard Monthly Digest issue because there's a lot to share and celebrate.
First, I got married last month! Ben and I had an intimate ceremony in the Colorado mountains - something I've always dreamed of. It was a really special day, and the sun came out right when we needed it the most.
Five days after our wedding, I flew to Texas to deliver a keynote speech about courage and confidence at the Brownsville Chamber of Commerce's Entrepreneurship Bootcamp. It was a blast, despite an exhausting trip home.
One day later, Ben and I headed back to the airport and flew to Hawaii for our honeymoon, splitting our time between Lanai and Maui. Some of our favorite memories included swimming with turtles, breakfast by a koi pond, and reading books on a deck with an ocean and mountain view.
But the best parts of the trip were the simple moments where we were fully present and paused to say: "we are so lucky."
. . .
Now that I'm back at work, I wanted to wish you a happy midyear. I love the month of July because it not only means hiking trails and reading outside, but it's an ideal time to check in and see how you're doing.
In this month's Coaching Nugget, I'm giving you five journal prompts for clarity and confidence during the second half of the year. Do yourself a favor and carve out 15 minutes to answer the questions - you won't regret it.
Last but not least, it's time for the next Thirlby Co. quarterly community challenge! I hope you can join us for the FUN Challenge, kicking off on July 24.
We're devoting just one week to bringing joy and play into our lives - something many adults struggle to do. Scroll down for more information (and don't forget to invite your friends).
