Loved this for so many reason! One, seeing so many familiar names sharing their messages warmed my heart. I also think sometimes messages are meant to come back to us! I definitely needed the reminder today to remember to lean into the things that bring me joy. I’m so happy those words found you when you needed them too ❤️ The story about your clients really hit home.

Also, did you take the photo of the longhorn cow? That photo, along with the others in this issue are magnificent!

Thanks Michelle! Messages (lovely ones) do indeed come back to us! I’m glad your reminder to me reminded you!

The pics are now all mine. Steven Foster gave me inspiration during his Photography for Creatives course and I’ve stopped searching and using stock images and share what I’ve taken.

Turns out that choosing and editing my photos increases my HRV, so a plus for illustrating my newsletter and improving my health!

Another great edition, Eric. We should all be as wise as Michelle. "Do what makes you happy" interestingly is also what makes you healthy.

What a nice surprise to be mentioned alongside so many other well deserving folks. I think the choice youve made to write about what energizes you is all that matters in the end. Excited to continue following along on your journey Eric!

Eric! Loved reading this. Sharing the client story really helped clarify how we can think about practically implementing joy as a north star! Also the illustration you have for health for success is pretty cool!

Another great edition, Eric! I love the pivot towards ‘health’ and this edition quite fittingly has a refreshing energy to it (from the tone to the gorgeous beach pic).

I’m so excited about your program and it’s been incredible supporting you along the way. This is only the beginning and I know you’re going to be a widely known teacher and leader as you continue to scale your course and audience. Onwards and upwards!

I enjoy seeing your joyful photos. You inspire me to seek out joy in small yet meaningful places. Today I’ll look for joy in the sunnier weather, working at a coffee shop instead of the office, and enjoying a workout before starting the weekend. Cheers Eric!

Great stuff Eric! Seeking out joy and community is something that is incredibly important, yet under-appreciated. I know I've been trying to make an intentional effort in this area over the last few months. Alexandra's community has been great from the course creator side of things!
