Day 179: Giving Grace

Doh, I missed yesterday! 3rd time in 179 days. This should be 180, almost halfway to the goal, but I’m going to call it 179.

Yesterday Carin and I recorded a couple of episodes because I wont be able to edit and make the copy pretty for the website while I’m on the retreat. I hoped to edit yesterday but we hosted some of my family for dinner. Which resulted in a deep clean.

Then I got vodka wasted with my sister and they stayed much later than they usually do. So I completely forgot to write.

Naturally in the episode we recorded yesterday that comes out on Tuesday I talked about all the benefits of blogging and how momentum is built when we don’t break promises to ourselves.

We did an interview style episode where we both asked each other about the topics we will be presenting on for the summit (LINK). That’s why I was talking about this blog. I shared a bit of the framework that I’ve developed for Activating Audacity which includes doing things you love. That’s how confidence grows.

I ended up editing the episodes today. And heard the part about breaking promises and thought, oh the irony. I’m not sweating it though. It wasn’t an intentional break, I am back on the horse, and I’m sure it was just a reminder to share in my presentation that sometimes shit happens and how we deal with it decides how long we can be derailed.

Gentle grace. We all need it and we should start giving grace to ourselves.

With that said, I’m peacing out. I got all of episode 12 edited and done. Still have about half of episode 13 copy to do tomorrow. My eye hurts and I’m tired (hungover). I will say I planned to go hard last night because it would be the last opportunity until after the retreat. Mission. Accomplished!
