Hello beautiful people,
Maybe something has popped up in your feed about the astrological energy of April 17, 2026…
planets aligning, people talking, a little extra buzz in the air.
There is something about today.
The day itself is saying, go ahead.
The energy makes it a little easier to begin.
To take a step you’ve been circling.
To trust something without needing full proof.
Days like this are interesting.
They don’t promise anything.
They create space.
And what we do with that space…
that’s the fun part.
And layered into all of this—
Today is my son Jordan’s birthday.
31 years on this planet.
I’m inspired by the way he moves through life—
the risks he takes, even when they don’t always work out
(the biggest growth).
The willingness to stay in it.
And the talent—his path as a chef—
watching him grow into that, on his own terms, in his own timing…
beautiful to witness.
Also… his pickleball game keeps getting better and better.
I love the community he’s created around it (gold!).
A space that feels connected, alive, and fully his.
Because this kind of life doesn’t come from certainty.
It comes from trust.
From saying yes before you know exactly how it will land.
From being willing to miss, learn, adjust, and keep moving.
That’s what builds something real.
And that is the gold within.
Days like this don’t ask for perfection—just participation.
So… today is the day.
You might just need to say yes.
Love,
mmc
P.S. Happy birthday, Jordan. Love you to the moon and back!
P.S.S. My book is launching early/mid May—More than Millions: Finding the Gold Within. More on the launch soon.
