HAPPY NEW YEAR Everyone!!!
What a difference a year can make….and how much things can change from one year to the next!

This is for sure the most memorable New Years I’ve ever had…spending the holiday off grid in the Atacama desert with my family….our fireworks display was the amazing starry nights….an absolute dream start to 2024💖

And a renewed sense of clarity of everything that is most important to me.

Last year I headed into 2023, part way through chemo, but fully through it mentally. I gave complete trust to the process, and continued to do whatever adventures I could throughout the 6 months of treatment. Roughly halfway through 2023 I was done treatment and started living life to the max- and did adventures of my own, guided expeditions for KapiK1 clients and impossible2Possible youth team.

Now, I’m heading into 2024 with my fam in the Atacama desert on our own adventure, and I’ve got a few big adventures and expeditions planned for 2024, and there’s tons more to come- a far different start to a new year ahead!

They say social media is basically a ‘highlight reel’ of what is really happening in life. That we truly don’t know all the ups and downs of each others lives….but I know for sure with downs come lots of ups….and I truly wish for you and hope for you to have an INCREDIBLE year ahead of adventure and dreams realized. For a life full of challenges- lots up, with only occasional downs- but most importantly a year ahead where you have moments of extreme clarity and appreciation for another amazing day lived and experienced 💖

For Want of a Nail
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

Think of communication as the nail and the kingdom as your success. Don't ignore the basics.

Communication is the process of exchanging information. It allows you to interact with each other and share knowledge, experience and emotions.

It is the combination of many factors like personality type, communication style, upbringing, understanding of the situation, grasp of the language, status, who you are talking to and where, vocabulary, voice, clarity of message, and culture.

Culture itself has many elements that affect how we express ourselves and how we are received. Some of those elements are being time-conscious or not, body language, personal space, taking individual action or waiting for consensus, and formality or informality.
