Day 44: The Morning Huddle -
One last morning practice, and my favorite: the Morning Huddle. Find a friend/accountability partner/tribe member who you can call or FaceTime or text EVERY morning to check in about your day. This is NOT planning to analyzing feelings about the day, but a way to check in and share, as well as practice being truly present for another person. Watch this video to learn more

It’s been just over two weeks since ILLUMINE’s founder Lourdes Paredes, started Last60 Best60 and it’s not too late to jump in! Today I offer some pre-thanksgiving thoughts. Sometimes the preparations for the big day, and smashing as much work as we can into three days, and travel means that we don’t think about what we are grateful for until we sit down at the table. If asked, we might report on the first thing that comes to mind (the stuff or the short term). Consider spending time this weekend thinking about our journey so far, the process we are in, the experiences, highs and lows, that shape and evolve us. So that when we get to the table we really are aware of the village of people who support/mentor our journey. And remember not everyone has done this too and maybe they are in the midst of hard times. Be gentle when asking “what are you thankful for” because it might not feel like gratitude when one is in the middle of a crisis, grieving or being laid off. See link in bio for video.🙏🏽
Oh how we love learning! And asking #bigquestions And #chicagoideasweek is one of our favorite weeks! So we are in my happy place😊 who’s here and which talks are you going to?
