I try to remember that you don't necessarily have to walk all the way out onto thin ice, you can test each step as you go and pause if you're uncertain. 💜

You are right, it's best done one little step at a time. I think the tricky thing is when we refuse to step on the ice at all!

“Our well-being does not depend on us getting, or doing, this thing, it’s built upon us stepping up to try.” —— such a powerful and important reminder Donna. And so well said!

I really enjoyed the layout of this piece and the bite sized chunks of wisdom it offered. :)

I'm glad you like the snippets of info Michael. I find that, for the most part, this is how I like to digest information as well. I'm not sure that's always a good thing but I comfort myself that I read many books so am still absorbing long form writing.

As always I appreciate your presence in my small part of the internet❤️

I think anyway you can absorb information is good. I like small snippets sometimes too, other times books, others times podcast or documentaries— whatever works :)

Love the video! I make excuses which falls under the S— sabotage. Self sabotage. I’m too old, we’re about to move, I don’t have the energy… All not true! Harumph.

You're right, those excuses aren't true. At the same time we have to use discernment to what we need in the moment. As long as we're being responsible to our well-being (which you certainly are with your move) we may need to shuffle our priorities for a bit. It's not always an excuse but a survival mechanism to hold it together.

Sending love😘

I love the message in this post, as I'm about to lean forward instead of back.

And by the way, you have incredible presence in video, Donna. I live watching you speak on topics you're passionate about.

For a split second when I landed on the video I thought you had your arms tatted 🤣

I know! This shirt looks like I'm wearing two full sleeves. I can be a fake-bad-ass🤣 Thanks for your kind words about my video.
