Late September marks my half-way point through my personal calendar year, which is also the time of year I do my CDF check-in. This year has been one of my most challenging and Danielle LaPorte’s Desire Map Free & Clear is just what I needed to put things into perspective.

Patterns + Input
This past year has been about expansion and growth. I’ve been stretched well beyond my comfort zone. Stacey shared that there’s been so much expansive growth around my “too muchness”.
What Really Matters
It’s been so easy for me to focus on what I don’t have right now and in those moments, and yet, look at all that happened. My experiences are a testament to all that’s possible in spite of setbacks, failures, and low moments.
What I Want to Focus On
My health
My business projects
My intimate relationship
Building community
My pleasure
Takeaways
During this retrospection, I discovered that I said yes to my core desired feelings a lot more often than it actually felt.
My core desired feelings are juicy, abundant, ease, satisfied, magnetic, with a few more I keep to myself.
