Today's moment of levity

06/15/2026

I always look forward to June.

The days are long. The evenings are full of activity. And somewhere in that extra light, there's an invitation to slow down and actually "see" what's around you.

I think about that in the context of change.
We're often so focused on getting through it, head down, moving fast, that we miss what the season is trying to show us.

Mindful agility is a little like June light.

It's not about burning bright and burning out. It's about that steady glow, showing up with presence, pacing yourself with purpose, and growing toward what matters most.

If June is stirring something in you, a readiness to shift, I'd love to hear about it.

Drop a comment or send me a DM.

I want to offer you a reframe, because I think the phrase "sticking with it" is doing us harm. It implies that the thing we've started wants to leave, that it is trying to escape, and our job is to hold on with sufficient grip. But that is not the experience of sustained practice. The experience, when we have designed our context well and found our witnesses, is less like gripping and more like returning. You return to the work the way you return to a conversation with someone you trust. Not because you are forcing yourself. Because something in you knows this is where your growth lives.

AFFIRMATION

"I do not need to feel momentum every day to be making progress. I tend with patience, with presence, and with trust that the roots are forming even when I cannot see them. I return, again and again, not because I must, but because I know this is where I grow."

The gap between intention and action is one of the most researched phenomena in behavioral science. And what closes it consistently is not better conditions. It is a single, concrete, small first step taken in the present moment. What is the first step you can take?

I have to share this with you. 🦙💛

We were on vacation in Peru, and in the middle of this vast, ancient landscape, we came across a mama alpaca with her baby. Two hours old. Just two hours.

I watched that little one take her first wobbly steps while her mama stood close, calm and steady, and I just... couldn't look away.

It was one of those moments that reminds you, the world is so incredibly full of wonder. Not in some far-off, someday way. Right now. In the ordinary and the extraordinary alike.

Sometimes the greatest gift we can give ourselves is permission to be amazed.

Has travel ever surprised you with a moment like this? I'd love to hear your stories in the comments!

I spent 13 years on the shores of Lake Superior. I know what that water feels like in December. Cold. Relentless. Humbling.

And yet.... someone surfed it.

During a windy day, I would go to the beach just for a chance to watch the surfers because it's a perfect mirror for what I see in the people I work with every day.

You are not waiting for easy. You are not waiting for warm. You are finding the wave in the middle of the hard things(s) and riding it.

Leadership isn't about having calm seas. It's about trusting yourself enough to paddle out anyway.

What wave are you riding right now? I'd love to hear it in the comments.

Just like my newly transplanted hostas, "I do not need to feel momentum every day to be making progress. I tend with patience, with presence, and with trust that the roots are forming even when I cannot see them. I return, again and again, not because I must, but because I know this is where I grow." ✨

Reflection Questions
For your journal, your walk, your quiet morning

1 What is the story you have been telling yourself about why now is not the right time and what would it mean about you, your life, or your identity if you began anyway?

2 Think of a time you began something before you felt ready. What did you discover about yourself on the other side of that beginning? What is that memory trying to tell you now?

3 If the version of you who has already begun who has already taken the first step and is six months into the thing could send you one sentence, what would it say?
