Your Superpower
Greetings all!
What is your superpower? I have an answer for you, courtesy of CALM!
“No one else can be you. That’s your superpower.
The quest to become some perfect version of you is exhausting, stressful, and ultimately, impossible. Because there’s not one “right” way to be yourself. Just the version who’s here right now… sharp edges, messy moments, and all.
This week, instead of trying to reach some unachievable goal of perfection, try to be a little more uniquely you. Here are three reminders to help you embrace your beautiful imperfections:
- Quirks and “flaws” are what make me interesting
- My imperfect failures are often my biggest and best lessons
- Revealing my imperfections (hello vulnerability) is the gateway to connection
Remember: You get closer to
others when you show up fully as yourself.
Reflect: What’s one quirk or “imperfect” thing you like about yourself?
Reframe: from “I am flawed” to “I am unique”

The Time-Satisfaction Scale
Greetings all!
Do you feel that you have enough time to do everything you need to do and want to do? Most people I know will probably emphatically say NO!
But what do “I am so busy” and “I do not have enough time” really mean? Busy with what? Enough time for what?
Well, remember my POST on Tranquility by Tuesday by Laura Vandekam? In it, Laura provided a Time-Satisfaction Scale that I found so incredibly helpful! How about pausing your
Instagram scrolling to consider the following:
- Yesterday, I had enough time for the things I wanted to do.
- Yesterday, I got enough sleep to feel well rested.
- Yesterday, I made progress on my professional goals.
- Yesterday, I made progress on my personal goals.
- Yesterday, I had enough energy to handle my responsibilities.
- Yesterday, I was happy with how I spent my leisure time.
- Yesterday, I did not waste time on things that weren’t important to me.
- Generally, I have enough time for things I want to do.
- Generally, I have enough energy for things I want to do.
- Overall, I feel good about my relationships and my progress on my personal priorities.
- Overall, I’m making progress on my professional goals.
- Generally, how I spend my time aligns with my priorities and values.
- I regularly have time just for me.

Thought of the week – The most appealing daily schedule
“The most appealing daily schedule I know is that of a turn-of-the-century Danish aristocrat. He got up at four and set out on foot to hunt black grouse, wood grouse, woodcock, and snipe. At eleven he met his friends, who had also been out hunting alone all morning. They converged “at one of these babbling brooks,” he wrote.
He
outlined the rest of his schedule. “Take a quick dip, relax with a schnapps and
a sandwich, stretch out, have a smoke, take a nap or just rest, and then sit
around and chat until three. Then I hunt some more until sundown, bathe again,
put on a white tie and tails to keep up appearances, eat a huge dinner, smoke a
cigar and sleep like a log until the sun comes up again to redden the eastern
sky.
This is living … Could it be more perfect?”

Autumn [Poem of the Week]
I look outside my window and see the leaves
Changing color, one by one trickling to the ground.
Fall. It's in my grasp. My favorite season, the one I long for.
I take a deep breath. The crisp, cool, clean air tickles my nose.
I think back to when I was little, sitting in my grandma's kitchen, watching
her bake.
The aroma of fresh apple pie wafting through the air.
My mind wanders off
To caramel apples with my mom.
The sweet, golden, caramel sticks to my lips
As the sour apple crunches in my mouth.
Then the image of a bonfire flashes into my mind.
Sitting with my sister on a teetering log,
Roasting marshmallows, watching them engulf in flames.
We bite into the s'more as the chocolate melts onto our bare hands.
My imagination deviates off to a hay ride.
The scratchy straw surrounds me
As I meander my way up through the maze of pumpkins.
All eyes are open to see who can spot the perfect one,
The one that we will take back home and make our own.
The once so near sight of summer has begun to fade.
Splashing waters have turned to cheering crowds at football games
And the giggles and screams
Of trick-or-treaters frolicking in the street.
My mind takes me back to reality,
And I look out my window once again.
Red, yellow, and orange hues flood my vision.
I can't help but smile
Because fall is finally here.

Monthly Oracle Forecast for September
Greetings all!
What is your take on horoscopes, manifestations, and
Oracle card readings?
I personally love messages from any source that are positive
and uplifting. That is why I want to share with you an email from Colette
Baron-Reid with her monthly September forecast. What is not to like about the
message “Hope is on the rise”?!
…The heart of this month’s reading, is The Emergence of Hope.
That’s right. Hope is on the rise.
After a whirlwind summer, we’re finally catching our breath. September offers a moment to pause, reflect, and ask ourselves:
What is the most beautiful potential for my life?
What dream wants to take root now that the dust has started to settle?
This month invites you to reclaim your vision
and reconnect with your divine partnership, to step back into
alignment with what’s true for you. When we live in alignment with our authentic,
inspired selves, we naturally begin to serve others from a fuller place.”
Colette is book writer and a creator of multiple Oracle decks.
Below is the link if you want to try a
card reading!
Colette says, “Oracle and tarot cards are an ancient way to
receive spiritual guidance. Ask a question and think of your question as you
scroll through the cards. Select a card for some helpful insight on your next
steps.”
I hope you get an interesting and a positive insight! What did you think? Drop me a line!
