“Radical self-care is quantum, and radiates out into the atmosphere, like a little fresh air.” –Anne Lamott

Photo: "Screw it" by Stephanie Bennett Vogt

Hi Everyone,

I love this photo of a wedding party navigating the uneven streets of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. It reminded me that, even in this status-conscious country, there are plenty of people who'll go rogue.

What would it take for you to put yourself first?

To choose radical self-care over trying to impress or do the culturally-acceptable “right thing”?

To choose “no” or “doesn’t work for me” over “should”? Ease over effort? Simplicity over complication?

What is one thing that honors you that you’d like to step into and declare.

Choosing is the first big step. Once you’ve made the choice, the rest starts falling into place.

If you could use some gentle guidance on how to step more into who you want to be, keep scrolling.

There are some beautiful offerings in October – from me and two of my favorite people – plus a book excerpt.

Happy fall (-ing in love with yourself)!

21-Day Giveaway

Years ago, I met a man who has become a dear friend, my publisher, and a partner in helping me develop the books and teachings I now share.

Please meet Randy Davila, president of Hierophant Publishing and Hampton Roads Publishing who will be teaching an all-new course titled Publish YOU!

If you have always wanted to write and publish your own book, here’s your chance to learn from the master himself.

Randy will teach you about the process of refining your big idea into a great book—and then how to turn it into a practical, fulfilling “business” that allows you to share yourself with the world in ways that work best for you.

Enroll by October 1 and receive Randy's book How to Think Like a Publisher, at no extra cost!

BOOK EXCERPT

Day 229

"There’s a funny cartoon of a woman sunbathing on the beach. She’s a complete blob of exhaustion, soaking up a much-needed vacation. Her husband is handing her the cell phone, saying, 'It’s the hospital. They want to know if it would be too much trouble to fly back to work a shift.'

Managing a request while you’re miles away on vacation may be a no-brainer. But what about the countless times you’re just about to sit down for a quiet moment over dinner and the phone rings? Or your boss has you stay longer because this assignment “just cannot wait”? Or your email inbox is invaded by messages you never subscribed to?

I would wager that your boundaries have been crossed hundreds of times. And here’s the tough-love truth that may be a bit harder to hear: You’ve allowed it to happen.

Take a few minutes today to reflect on what it would take to set clear boundaries, and what gets in your way.
