Back To The Basics...

True.  This has been a really busy time and I have neglected you.  I'm sorry...

AND:)  I've been having the best time of my life.  Traveling, teaching, connecting.  I co-hosted an awesome event and now I am co-leading a mastermind with wonderful, inspired people.  So yes, I've been super-charged and engaged -- busy was the least of it.

To recharge, I took a little trip up to the Pacific Northwest, culminating on a tiny island on the Canadian border.  I slept in a tipi in the pouring rain (learned how to train drips off my forehead), circumnavigated the island on my SUP on glassy sunrise waters, saw minke whales, porpoises, eagles, otters and seals...  breathtaking beauty all around.  I also got to learn a lot about their revived Native American culture, family and community.  Oh and there was a lot of singing and square dancing and connecting with old and new friends.  Still keep hearing those square dancing calls in the back of my mind.  A bit maddening...

Obviously, there were many amazing things about this trip.  But the best thing it did for me is it took me entirely out of the context of my "normal" life and the drastic contrast helped me reconnect with my BIG WHY.  Not just the medium kind...

Don't get me wrong--I know my plan. My big vision and mission and goals and intentions--serving my tribe, having impact, making money, and all the stuff that comes with it.

But my Big Hairy Audacious Why (aka BHAW)...  I needed to go back to the basics to remember.  Yes, serving, impacting, and achieving as a result, but the overall WHY is having a fantastic experience every single day and helping others do the same. Earth is the party planet and we better take it for all we've got.

My joy-meter is off the hook and I feel like water in my divinely guided state of flow.  And no, there was no Peyote involved.  Just plain ol' being 100% present and seeing clearly.

So here is my challenge for you:  Write your BHAW vision.  Keep looking out further and making it bigger until it is as big as you can be.  And then read it every single day so you won't forget.
