There's something sacred about last weeks.
I'm writing this from my final days at Edge, where I've spent a month learning what it means to show up for myself.
Switching up the newsletter today! Loving this format right now!
Yesterday, someone shared that they'd looked back through three years of their journal entries and could see, with clarity, the knowing they had all along but the inability to actually listen to it. Makes me think how often I know but don’t always allow it in.
This week has been phenomenal. Full days of work followed by nights of volleyball, the kind of tired that feels earned rather than drained.
Self-creation, I'm learning, is something truly magnificent. Each day when I'm being love, I attract things toward me. Love disperses the fear and the doubt. I am pure faith in action, and honestly, when I operate from this place, my actions become more aligned, and thus my results shift too.
Living Lovingly: Thursday night, I found myself in a sharing circle where each person went around expressing gratitude. As my turn approached, I was overthinking what to say, trying to craft something meaningful. Then I remembered: come from love, and the rest will flow. When it got to my turn, I spoke from love. I don't fully remember what came out, but it was authentic. Afterward, someone said "great words" to me. It was an affirmation of what happens when I come from love.
My Summer Camp: This week, phase one starts with daily 3-hour pomodoro sessions. The structure is simple: 25 minutes of focused work, 5-minute break, repeat. I tested this the last two weeks and it works exceptionally well with others. We set intentions for each session and then get after it.
Where to next: I’m currently in SF and have a flight booked for Bozeman, Montana this week. All aboard.
If any of this resonates with you and if you're in your own space between endings and beginnings, I'd love to hear about it.
Living Lovingly,
Ben
