Happy Father’s Day to all who have earned the title: Father, Dad, Papa, Pop, Da, or whatever name you’re given. That includes Steps and anyone serving as a father figure. Let’s celebrate our Grandparents and the Greats as well! You are loved and appreciated, and this is your day. We’re celebrating ours with the movers who are packing up our house. We’ve sent our dog, Ziggy, to spend the day with his favorite sitter so that he can be safe and calm. Me? I’m taking a short break to say hello and wish you all happy - while snuggling with my super soft, fluffy pillow. Show me yours - do you have a comfort stuffie, plushie, pillow, doll, or even live animal that helps keep you calm and centered? Here’s mine. I love the heart shape because the v fits right into the crook of my arm and makes it comfortable to hug.

This community is really important to me, so I want to let you all know what's going on in my life. I'm in the middle of getting ready to sell my house and leave for a long trip to visit family before coming back to California and settling in for a bit somewhere in the RV before running off to Scotland for a month. I'll pick things back up once we start traveling in the U.S., and things might slow down again when I'm in Scotland (unless you all want to see pictures and hear stories!). I hope you'll all stick with me and engage with each other - this isn't about me - it's about the expertise we all have in one thing or another and how we can help each other learn and grow. Thank you for your patience!

Let's give a warm welcome to our newest members: @Atticus Orion - here to level up your money-making skills. Great place to start. @Hamza As - diving into finances. You're going to love what's coming. @Riyad Arefin - meal planning on the agenda. Yes, it counts as a very important life skill, and one most of us struggle with. @Hannah Webb - taking on UK taxes. A minefield, no matter where you are. Please introduce yourself below and share something you've already learned this week (doesn't have to be from this community). if you haven't already, be sure to download the Skool app to keep the community top of mind. Then, head over to the classroom and check out the "START HERE" Catalog and choose your first Quest.

This morning I sat down to work, and my husband cooked breakfast and brought it to me at my desk. A little while later he came back and cleared my plate, picking up my favorite cup that had sat in my office overnight. Five minutes after that, he returned with the cup washed and filled with our favorite morning drink. I thanked him each time. And as he walked out the third time, I added, "You're taking very good care of me, and I appreciate it." He stopped, smiled, and nodded. Here's the thing: acts of service are how he shows love. And noticing it out loud is how I make sure he knows it lands. Appreciation that stays in your head doesn't count for much. Said out loud, it keeps the flame lit, and it keeps the person quietly doing the dishes from ever feeling invisible. Gentle reminder for today: somebody in your life is probably taking care of you in small ways that are easy to miss. Catch one, and say so. When's the last time someone took care of you in a small way? I'd love to hear it.

Where are you on the AI Knowledge spectrum? I'm preparing a 5-day AI Essentials program that will get you started with AI. At the end of the 5 days, you'll be able to write quality prompts and will walk away with a "Master Prompt" that will improve the quality of your AI output and help your AI Tools speak in your voice. Let me know where you are with AI right now, and if you're interested in the Essential program, leave an "I'm in!" in the comments.
