FOUND | What I Learned Putting God First for 90 Days
|
THIS WEEK IN FOUND: What 90 days of being more intentional with something I've always known actually taught me. Plus your weekly reflection question and one step worth taking before Sunday ends. This isn't something I discovered at 49. Since I was young, I've carried this quiet knowing that something greater than me was in the room. A sense that I wasn't navigating alone. That awareness never fully left, but I also didn't always honor it the way it deserved. What this quarter was actually about was being more intentional with it. Not more religious. More present with it. In the small moments: walking, working, exercising, pushing through knee pain or a tough day, letting that sense of "something greater has this" be the ground I stood on rather than a thought I returned to only when things got hard. The drift is real. Life moves fast and it pulls you with it, and before long you're solving everything on your own, operating without that foundation under you. I've done that cycle more times than I can count: settle into something grounded, then life grabs you, then you find your way back, then it happens again. This quarter was about narrowing that gap. Less back and forth. More daily grounding. And here's what changed, not overnight, but over time: I stopped needing things to go a certain way to feel okay. Knee pain, a tough conversation, a slow week, those things are still there. But they don't land the same way when you're already standing on something solid. The good days and the hard days both look different when you're not trying to hold everything together on your own. That's what I mean when I say faith within a system. It's not passive. It's not pretending hard things aren't hard. It's a daily decision to orient yourself toward something greater before effort, before output, before the to-do list, and trust that both the good and the difficult are teaching you something worth learning. This week's reflection: Where are you trying to hold everything together on your own, when something greater already has it? Hit reply and tell me what came up. I read every one.

THIS WEEK IN FOUND This week: the part of yourself you stopped looking at, and why it's quieter work than most people think. Plus your weekly reflection question and a soft introduction to the season ahead. What You Keep in the Back of the Closet There's a jacket in the back of my closet I haven't worn in years. Navy issue. Too tight now. I keep moving it every time I clean, and every time I move it, I tell myself the same thing. I'll deal with that later. This morning I finally pulled it...
THIS WEEK IN FOUND: This week: the moment you stopped trusting yourself, and how to find your way back to that signal. Plus your weekly reflection question and one step worth taking before Sunday ends. You Stopped Trusting Yourself Long Before You Noticed It There's a specific moment most people can't quite point to. Not a dramatic falling-out, not a big decision that went sideways. Just a slow drift. You started checking with everyone else first. Asking what they thought. Running your...
THIS WEEK IN FOUND: You didn't lose yourself all at once. It happened gradually, quietly, one compromise at a time. This week we talk about the compound effect of living someone else's design, and what it actually takes to find your way back. Nobody wakes up one day and decides to stop being themselves. It happens slowly. So slowly you don't notice it until you're years deep and something feels fundamentally off but you can't point to a single moment when it went wrong. That's because it...
