First off, happy July and happy summer! I’m writing this just a few days after celebrating my 24th wedding anniversary, and what a joyful season it has been. Life has been a whirlwind lately, especially after our recent live event in Knoxville, aptly named Love is Magic. If you were there, thank you! It was an absolute joy to meet so many of you in person. And if you missed it, let me tell you, you need to join Life Mentoring School just to experience our live event. It’s something you don’t want to miss.

The festivities began on Wednesday night with a dockside party at my home, complete with boating and a delicious dinner prepared by an adorable hibachi chef (find him on Instagram as Cooking with Caulfield—it was divine!). Thursday was spent hiking Andrews Bald in the Smokies, a quintessential misty, then sunny, Smoky Mountains experience with 70 incredible women. The energy was simply magical.

Thursday evening, we hosted a VIP dinner, where we had the pleasure of meeting so many of you. We even had a lady come to do permanent jewelry—a unique experience that left me with some fun new bracelets. It was heartwarming to hear your stories, hug you, and share those moments together.

On Friday, we celebrated our Christian Life Coaches’ graduation. This year, we had 180 graduates, and it was such a privilege to witness their journey. We ended the day with a graduation ceremony followed by the most epic dance party ever—we danced for three hours straight! And yes, that’s the perfect segue into today’s topic: Say Yes to Your Life.

Saying Yes to Health, Joy, and the Next Adventure

Reflecting on that night, I’m beyond grateful that I said yes to my health a few years ago. At 54, I’m able to dance for hours, hike the Smokies, and enjoy life to the fullest. This didn’t happen overnight; it’s the result of years of cultivating strong habits—physically, mentally, and emotionally—that allow me to show up in my life with vibrancy and joy.

But what about you? Are you ready to say yes to your next adventure? What’s holding you back? Whether it’s getting healthier, building emotional resilience, or embracing new challenges, the life you want is on the other side of that yes.

The secret? It’s not magic; it’s consistency. It’s the daily commitment to habits that move you closer to your goals. For example, when I tore my ACL in 2019, I feared it would undo all my hard work. But I kept showing up, kept doing the therapy, kept moving forward. And now, you’d never know I had such an injury. It’s the same with your mindset and emotional life. The beliefs you practice every day shape your reality. Are you cultivating a mindset that says, “I’m just getting started, and this is going to be the best season of my life”?

Where Do You Need More Practice?

So, where do you need more practice? Is it in the physical realm, the mental realm, the emotional realm, or the spiritual realm? Remember, none of us wakes up being great at these things. It’s all about practice, consistency, and the willingness to get back up after setbacks. The more you practice, the more your life will begin to reflect the things you deeply desire.

An Invitation to Say Yes

As we close, I invite you to reflect on what you want to say yes to in your life. What habits will support that, “yes”? Whether it’s improving your health, strengthening your mindset, or deepening your emotional resilience, the time to start is now.

Thank you for being here!  Say yes to your amazing, big, beautiful life. Until next time, I’m cheering you on every step of the way.
