As the founder of ChickSpeak, it is thrilling to see so many amazing women getting excited about what we’re building. The new writers- the new columnists- the new friends.

Mmmm… better than mom’s apple pie! Love love love it! :-)

I think I say yes to easily to people b/c I was raised to believe that I could do anything I wanted to if I was willing to pay the price. I guess I feel like now is my time to really work my butt off and develope something (ChickSpeak) that’s bigger than myself and able to have a continued impact in the world.

Isn’t that what each of us wants though?

Today, I wish I could fast forward five years and meet my future self. Am I successful? Do I have a spouse? Where am I living? Do I get to travel a lot? Am I happy- like really deliciously happy, or just fuzzy-content kind of happy? All these questions.

Dream big and design the life you want to live. Today is your life, not five years from now. Make each breath count.

How come I have this desire to get answers to questions I haven’t even asked yet? Would I live differently today if I knew what my future held?

I hope not. I want to live my todays fully and with the kind of clarity and grounding that only comes from being comfortable in my skin and being true to my core values.

Today I’m going to work on things I love, take steps to build ChickSpeak to where I know it needs to be, and do something for just my sense of self- like go to the class at my gym that I love or a long run (if it’s not like 100 degrees when I get out of the office!)

Today is your life. Act like it.

Hugs,

CMT
