I'm here to encourage you today and help you capture more of what the present has to offer. In this conversation, I’m sharing what I’m personally doing to stay grounded right where my feet are and shedding light on a few tips to help you do the same.  I'm also unpacking a few things that might be hindering your ability to find true contentment and experience today's joy. 
“Instead of thinking where I’d rather be, I’m leaning into where I am, capturing all that the present has to offer. Perhaps if I can keep my feet grounded in the here and now, and my eyes open to more of its wonder, I’ll be ready to fully soar when the next opportunity comes. And I bet if you do the same, you will be, too.”
