As per my promise of sending a choice of my signed book to YOU, anywhere in the world upon hitting level 5, I expected that to take 7 months. A handful of you are really close within only one month!! So considering I have no eagles beaconed to my van in New Zealand.. I am plotting ideas. I WILL hold to the promise, just has to wait until I return home to Canada. I will create the list of first 50winners within the ‘classroom’ that is unlocked at lvl 5. But I have an IDEA. I have 50 free promo codes for the AUDIOBOOK of An Arsenal of Gratitude. (For US and UK regions) for those who listen and leave a review, I will mail you BOTH books when I return home to Canada. Reviews mean that much. 🙌 I am working on getting promo codes for POWAP as well, but only AAoG so far I can promise. PS. Some/MOST of you are so amazing and already got one or multiple of my books. I cherish your time and the offer for BOTH signed books still stands for simply an honest review on Amazon/goodreads. 🤙 Much love.

"Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong." Lao Tzu How do we show up in the world? I'd like to say I'm like water and that is an aim, but if I'm really honest, there are definitely times when I'm rigid especially when it comes to thinking about what I think that I need (e.g. in relationships)...but... What I've found, is that the more space I give (space, not distance) the more the relationship can actually breathe and come to life in such a beautiful way.

I noticed there's a few of us with our Myer's Briggs personality type on our profile. I'm INFJ, which is only about 9% of the population, and known as the Counselor. It's very fitting considering my natural calling and life path. Who here is also an INFJ? What's your personality type, and do you find it's fitting for who you are?

I remember pride the day I donated a shelf full of Xbox games and filled all 4 shelves with books (read) by age 21. I never thought the most rich I’d feel is while maxing out minimalism. I used to have pride in the whole ‘lone-wolf’ take on life. Now I emphasize connection and networking as one of the most important and essential life skills. What about you??

Beginning weekly gratitude dumps for us all to share wins, precious moments, appreciations and the funny ways life twists, turns and changes on us so quickly. - 4 days back deep into van life. Drove 12hrs, grateful for a reliable home on wheels and the beauty around every corner of NZ. (First few pics below) - For finding friends on hikes as I wander and being welcomed into strangers lives. - For getting to celebrate @Cassidy White beginning her new beginning travel nursing in Australia! Proud of her expanding her life so boldly. - @Brendan OCallaghan for being a rock solid new friend the last 2ish months. Having a brother to share things we are truly working through and being a frontline supporter on all things. And taking on gratitude journalling and already reaping the many serene benefits of it! - Getting to wake up to the rest of you making such a beautiful supportive and inviting environment here. It’s also been so good on my mind to leave other socials behind and solely nurture this. Sooo much less brain fog and time wasted doomscrolling. - Grateful for cute animals and kind people. - For experiencing high and low-tides of the ocean .. feels like the earth is breathing and beaming with life here. - For a healthy body that can do ridiculous hikes and heal (reasonably) quickly. - For neighbours that invite me on the sea and give me a top notch first overnight sea fishing trip, despite being sea sick 20hrs straight 😆 #sayyestotheadventure! How about you guys? Photos for extra cool credits
