June Goals + Quarter 2 Updates

June 2, 2020

My Thoughts

Happy Monday and cheers to a new month, new change, and moving onward! Happy June! I’m ready for brighter times.

I’m spending today getting back into the swing of work, catching up on everything after visiting my family last week, and reflecting and setting my June goals. We’re about half-way through 2020…can you believe it?

While life feels heavy today and continues to look different all the time, I’m ready to start this month WELL.

I like to take these midway points and do what I call “heart checks”…and I’d love if you’d join in with me on these heart checks this time around. So I’m curious friend…

What have you learned about yourself so far this year?

I’ve learned that human connection, history, and people’s stories matter so much more to me than I ever knew. Listening, connecting, and growing both personally, as households, as families, and as societies is crucial and I’m feeling more connected to my Legacies Untold project now more than ever and I CAN’T WAIT to release in July. I think we need connection now more than ever.

What intentions do you want to bring into June and this coming Summer?

I want to show up fully in all aspects of my life. I want to do the hard work, the good work, and the needed work. I want to make change for the better both in myself, in my business, in my science, and in my actions. I want to continue to pour into those around me and serve people well. I also want to enjoy this month and celebrate the little + BIG things.

What are you finding most inspiring about moving forward into June?

I’m inspired by my community, my friends, and my family. I’m inspired by quality and intentionality over all the noise. I’m inspired by everyone’s vulnerability and action. I’m ready for a good month.

Now, with these intentions in mind and after I’ve revisited my Quarter 2 Goals (below) here are my June 2020 Intentions!
