Let's try to get this on the calendar. I think we should have an initial get to know each other for our first meeting. Vote in the poll and leave any ideas in the comments.

As we move into the holiday season and the close of another year, many of us feel a mix of emotions. The lights, the gatherings, the traditions; they bring joy, warmth, and connection. Yet at the same time, this season can stir up sadness, longing, or even loneliness. And that's ok. 🎄 The Dual Nature of the Holidays 🎄 🔔 JOY: Celebrations, family reunions, gift-giving, and the beauty of traditions remind us of love and togetherness. 🥹 SADNESS: We may miss loved ones who are no longer here, feel the sting of strained relationships, or notice the gap between our expectations and reality. Both can coexist. You can laugh at a holiday party and still feel a pang of grief when a familiar song plays. You can be greatful for what you have and still wish for what's missing. 💭 Why Sadness Shows Up 💭 🤔 MEMORIES: The end of the year often brings reflection on what we've gained, lost, or left unfinished. 🚸 TRANSITIONS: Life changes (new jobs, moves, breakups, or heath challenges) can feel sharper during a season that emphasizes stability and tradition. ↔️ Comparison: Social media and cultural narratives can amplify feelings of "not enough" when we see others celebrating in ways we wish we could. 🪴 Giving Yourself Permission 🪴 - Allow yourself to feel. Sadness is not weakness; it's part of being human. - Create space for both joy and grief. Light a candle for someone you miss, journal about your reflections, or simply sit quietly with your emotions. - Remember: You don't have to "fix" sadness. Sometimes the most healing thing is to acknowledge it. 🌟 A Closing Thought 🌟 The holidays are not about perfection; they're about presence. Being present with your emotions, your loved ones, and yourself is the greatest gift you can give. So if you find yourself smiling one moment and tearing up the next, know this: You are not alone. It's ok to be sad. It's ok to be joyful. And it's ok to be both at the same time. ❤️

We are starting 2026 with The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer. We are leaning into living more honestly, love more deeply, and stop shrinking who we are. I want to hear from you regarding the following: Do you prefer weekly or biweekly meetings? Do you prefer morning or evening? What is your time zone? What days of the week work best for you? I am open to weekends so don't hesitate to suggest Saturday or Sunday if it works for you. Comment and we will surely find a time that works for all of us.

In January, the world shouts "New Year, New You" and pushes us toward goals, resolution, and long to-do lists. In our book club, we're doing something different. We're treating intention as a commitment to who we're BECOMING, not just what we're doing. Less "What will I accomplish?" and more "How do I want to LIVE? Who do I want to BE with myself and others?" If you want to know more about the book before you decide, you will find a short explanation of the book and its intention focus by going to the classroom, choosing the Book Club, and then looking under Reading Prompts & Reflections. How we'll choose - As you read through these options, notice which one stirs something in you: - Which book speaks to the version of you that wants to emerge in 2026? - Which intention feels most alive for you right now: integrity, inner peace, authenticity, or presence? You don't have to overthink it. Trust what your body and heart say "YES" to. Choose the title that resonates most, and we'll choose our January book based on the group's responses. Comment below any thoughts you would like to share about the books. Here's to starting the year not with pressure, but with gentle, powerful commitment to who we are becoming. ❤️

A LOT has happened since August when I decided to start a Skool community and I want to catch you all up on what has gone on and where I am planning to take The Clarity Collective. 🥥 Q4 In a nutshell - I married my partner of 7 years, we decided to sell our house, and I completed 2 professional certificates, CTA - Accredited Mentoring Program and CTA - Senior Certified Professional Coach. 📚 A little community history - In the beginning, this community was called The Entrepreneurs Book Club. I was advised to change the name unless the community was only going to be a book cub. That's how I got to The Clarity Collective and to say the least, I have certainly found some clarity 🔎 over the last several months. That's a post for another day. ⏩ Forward into 2026 - In January the Book Club will begin hosting biweekly meetups. You can get the details in the Classroom and it's FREE ! As you know the more members we have in the community the more lively the meetups will be so I encourage you to invite whomever you think has something to add to the book club.
