something i’ve been thinking about and working on a lot lately!!! since @Peter Liciaga spoke about it it has been a constant in my mind! as a mom, i am a work in progress and rewiring my mind is not easy but this concept of finding clarity in what is, and finding a solution and moving on, as opposed to complaining and getting sucked in that action-less spiral, is powerful to me and on my heart!

enjoying the decent weather before the rain/snow starting tomorrow😭i can’t wait for spring and summer, we love outside! now for a much needed nap. hope everyone is having a good day🤍

i am becoming someone who honors and takes care of my own needs.

A member inside the Help Center asked a great question: “What do you mean by an anchor?” I’m glad it was asked — because this is central to how the Living Strong Premiere system works. An anchor is one small, repeatable daily behavior that stabilizes your rhythm. Not something intense. Not something impressive. Something steady. When life feels scattered, an anchor holds you. It’s predictable. And because it’s predictable, it builds durability. Examples: • 10 minutes of walking every morning • Lights out at the same time each night • No phone for the first 20 minutes of the day • A short mobility routine • Protein at breakfast • Writing one sentence in a journal And yes — meaningful breathing can absolutely be an anchor. If you pause for five slow breaths before every meeting, or before opening your laptop, that becomes stabilizing. It’s not about size. It’s about consistency. Inside the Premiere membership, we don’t just talk about anchors. We structure them. We protect them. We build them into a weekly rhythm through the 12-Part Method and the First Week Plan. That’s the difference between inspiration and practice. If you’re in the Standard membership, this is a glimpse into how the structured side of this community works. Simple. Disciplined. Repeatable. So here’s the question for everyone: What is one small behavior you could protect daily for the next 7 days? Post it below. Let’s practice.

If you’re here, chances are we’ve connected somewhere — through martial arts, the arts, a local business spotlight, a workshop, a school visit, or simply through our shared community. However you arrived, I’m glad you’re here. This community exists for one purpose: To inspire, encourage, and highlight what it truly means to live strong — in real life, in our town, in this season of life. Not hype. Not noise. Real people. Real stories. Real growth. Here’s how to navigate this space: - Living Strong Spotlight Celebrating local businesses, leaders, elders, youth, and everyday heroes who are making an impact. - Lessons & Reflections Short insights on leadership, resilience, discipline, aging strong, and personal growth. - Living Strong in Action Workshops, speaking engagements, community visits — the mission in motion. - Community Conversations Questions and prompts designed for you to share and engage. - Updates & Invitations Events, announcements, and ways to participate. - Living Strong Method (Premium) For those who want to go deeper — structured lessons, frameworks, and practice. This tier also supports the outreach work we do in schools, youth groups, and community organizations. - Starlight Express Alumni Stories, reflections, and connections from the Starlight Express journey and the creative legacy it continues to build around the world. This is not a spectator group. It’s a participation space. And here’s how we begin — today. 👇 In the comments, answer this: What does “Living Strong” mean to you right now? One sentence. One word. A short reflection. Your call. Let’s build this community with intention. – Peter
