It’s easy to get caught up in scarcity during these challenging times. You don’t have too look very far to find negative headlines, scary stories, conspiracy theories, and many other things that fill our heads with fear, uncertainty and doubt.

I’m looking further—beyond the headlines—to the place where we can find bright lights. I’d love for you to join me on this journey of gratitude.

This month, I am most grateful for:

Time with my family

We’ve visited with my sister and her family several times and it has been great to have a change of scenery and watch our kids and our relationships deepen.

We love our new rescue puppy, Nala.

She’s so exuberant about everything! Our 5 yr old dog, Lolly, has welcomed Nala to our family and they play all often. Nala has been good for Lolly’s confidence and well-being. Heck, she’s been great for all of us!

Summer

1000% my favorite season. Running, biking, swimming with my triathlon training group, walking, movie watching in our backyard—it’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Giving Back

We’ve donated to several charities and great causes like The Hunger Food Network, Black Lives Matter, Greater Chicago Food Depository, and more. We are grateful to have enough to share with others and support the causes we are most passionate about.

Aspiration Catalyst®

Supporting our clients through these times of turbulence has been incredible. I’m grateful to work with leaders across the country who continue to inspire me with their perseverance and resilience. From finding new ways to serve clients, to keeping employees inspired and connected through great leadership, and balancing high accountability with care and compassion—I am confident that we will all make it through this crisis TOGETHER.
