Late August Check-In - from the Newsletter

Hello,

I've been intentionally quiet in this space to make room for some transformation of my own.

I realized I needed to be in a coaching container to give me room to sense into my next level of fulfillment and leadership. So I dove into a potent group coaching program for several months and enjoyed being in the learning and transforming it catalyzed. I'm still integrating much of what I experienced and look forward to sharing the fruits of my transformation as time goes on.

For the last month I've been savouring time at our beloved lakefront cottage in Quebec - so many swings on the hammock (bliss), most often a long walk and two swims a day, journaling on our screened-in porch and feeling the summer breeze waft though the house.

The air there smells so sweet - the combination of pine needles and cedar mixed with the thyme that flows down our long set of stairs to the beach. An elixir for me.

I'm celebrating that my ability to "relax and relax my standards", a practice/mindset that I started cultivating last summer, increased even more to the point that I felt so much joy while I was there, even as I feel a big responsibility of caring for the land and the buildings. I know this joy is going to nourish me through the year.

I'm returning feeling replenished and excited for the Fall and all the possibilities it holds, including a reconnection with you in this space, both virtually and possibly in person.

Wishing you a beautiful September, and beyond, Milisa 🤗
