December 27 was the day it happened. One unexpected event. A real curveball. The kind that dents life plans and knocks the wind out of you for a bit. And at 56? You don’t dramatize it—but you do feel it. The thing is… this wasn’t my first curveball. So I did what you do. I got back on my feet. Slowly. Quietly. Honestly. And here’s what surprised me most: Getting your flame back has nothing to do with posting more. Or announcing that you’re “back.” Or hyping your own visibility. It comes from showing up for others. • Commenting with real care • Replying without pitching • Offering your best advice because someone asked • Supporting, not performing • Being useful, not loud That’s community. Yes, the flame carries a bit of notoriety, “I’ve been here. You can lean on me. You can trust me.” But it’s also earned. Through consistency. Presence. Relationship. So if you’re asking yourself today: “How do I want to show up?” Try asking instead: Who can I help? Who can I support? Who can I build a real relationship with—or collaborate alongside? That’s what the flame actually symbolizes. Not status. Not content volume. But shared momentum. And I’m deeply grateful for the people in my Skool communities who kept showing up like that—for me and for each other. 🧡 💬 Be honest—have you lost your flame recently? Or are you finding your way back right now? Are you frustrated you haven't gotten it by now?
