How are you giving back this year to make your footprint on Earth? This morning the birds are talking in their way to remind us to enjoy time and self reflect on a beautiful life you are living in Earth. Pause for a few minutes today, breathe in deep, exhale and give yourself gratitude 🙏. How did it feel?

A warm little reminder for all of us (me included): “Like what you appreciate.” One of the simplest ways to give more than you take in a community is to reward the people who are showing up. I’ve been noticing something in a lot of communities that we read a really good post, we might even comment… but we don’t always hit the like. And I get it! We are sometimes moving too fast or sometimes we forget. But that one small click can mean so much. A like is a quiet way of saying: - “I see you.” - “Thank you for taking the time.” - “That helped me.” - “Please keep sharing.” So here’s the little habit I’m practicing, if I’m moved enough to comment or if someone’s post/comment made me pause, smile, learn, or feel less alone, I will take one second and like it too. It’s such a small action… but it’s genuine encouragement. And encouragement is one of the easiest ways to make a community feel like a place people want to keep showing up. Why do you like a post or comment?

Oh my gosh, you guys. I randomly found out how hide Skool Communities on your profile! On the Edit Profile page, scroll down and click to expand "Membership visibility". You can either do this for yourself to only show communities you'd personally recommend OR if you have a Skool community that has a personal topic (i.e. overcoming addiction or repairing marriage after deceit), this might be something you want to share with your members.
