Reader, I might look a little haggard in today's video. It was just before jammie time. I'd had three of the longest (and most amazing) days in a row since launching my business. As the week started, I had thought "Oh my gosh, there's so much happening." But as I got through those three days, I realized I felt amazing. Like, I was definitely tired. But also felt amazing. Anyway, I'm coming to you to say thank you. You're such a huge source of encouragement to me. As many of you know, I'm not a huge fan of doing video. In fact, so much so that the person helping me get my content out will sometimes say, "Hey Dawn, I don't have any more videos." Which really means, "Hey Dawn, you're not keeping up with your end of the bargain so I can keep up with mine." 😅 (Remember that perspective when it comes to you and your team—whether it's your work or home team.) So anyway, I'm coming to you today with that confession, but mostly to say thank you. Because here's the deal... (⬇️ Btw, you can watch instead of reading, or read on below. ⬇️) These videos aren't easy to do, because I don't love seeing myself on camera. But what I do love is... 1) Encouraging and equipping people to do their best in their lives. and 2) Getting some of the responses I get from those of you reading, sharing, and doing life with me. It builds huge energy. And it makes me think, "Okay, it's making a difference." And I'll do anything to keep making a difference. (I mean, anything legal, or that isn't too wild, right? 😜) So again, thank you. Also—and this is important... If you're in a season right now where you're like... "Oh my gosh, my calendar looks like it's gonna crush me." or "This week is taking a lot out of me." or "I'm not sure how I'm gonna get it all done." Remember: This moment. That week. Those things. Those are likely the very things you've hoped or prayed for, for years. So don't miss that. One more thing. I have a client who sent me a Vox once. (Btw if you don't know Voxer, you gotta know it. Ask me about it if you want!) She said, "Dawn, the things you're doing, and the positivity you bring, it's like the mortar in the bricks of what we're building." So you should know, when you take a minute to engage with me or give me feedback... ...You're the mortar for the bricks of what I'm building. And that goes for everyone. So when you take the time to: Say something nice to someone at the grocery store. Or compliment or encourage a mom whose kid just had a temper tantrum at Target. That's also you being the mortar for the bricks in other people's lives. For what they're building. It's "sticking it" to people in the best way. I hope we'll continue to encourage and equip each other. And jockey to that finish line together. 'Cause we're running a race, and it's exciting. So...my turn. I'd love to hear about some of the things you're working on. Or even some of the moments wearing you out! (But also helping you realize, "This is where I wanted to be, and what I wanted to do.") Maybe I can give you some mortar for what you're building. Thanks for doing life with me! Have a great rest of your day. Dawn Whenever you're ready, there are 3 ways I can help you:

Hey Reader, I was at a retreat center with some clients the other week. We were doing deep work about growing in our respective fields (fitting considering the story I'm about to tell, come to think of it 🤔). When we took a break, I decided to get outside and move my body by taking a little walk. I saw water in the distance, and walked down to the edge of what happened to be the Mississippi. As I got closer to the water, I noticed a lot of the foliage, grass and weeds were darkened and...
Hey Reader, wanna know something that makes my stomach turn? When people say, "You're just so busy..." or "I know how busy you are..." It always makes me think, "Oh, man, have I made you feel that way?" or "Did it take too long for you to get on my calendar?" or "Are you just following my antics on social media?" 😂 I think it makes my stomach turn because I never want anyone to think that my life is too full/busy for the things that are important. So I'm coming to you today to say that... 1)...
Hey Reader, it's October! Let's talk seasons. What I love about the word 'seasons' is, it makes it feel like there's an end to a time I'm walking through. ALL seasons have an end. In the Spring... We enjoy the warming temps, rapid growth, and budding leaves and flowers. (But maybe you don't look forward to the storms it also brings...or the allergies.) Then Spring comes to an end, and we're in Summer. Summer brings beautiful warm days and baseball. (But later we have to fight to keep...
