True Stride


Apr 8, 2021

Can you believe six months have passed since we started going on Wise Walks together? I am blown away, and surprised that I didn’t naturally take a moment to appreciate our milestone and think about all that I've learned, discovered, and grown as a result of our interaction once a week.

Today, we are going to take a Wise Walk on what in our life is worth celebrating and how we can be more mindful about taking time to honor our milestones, whatever they are, and whenever they are. As we stride together, the questions on our minds are: What is something you said yes to that is requiring your energy, attention, and effort, and what is your plan to celebrate your progress for that something? What are the ways you like to celebrate your milestones, and can you share that excitement and accomplishment with others? Are you conscious of how your ability to celebrate your life's wins affects others?

The episodes that have really stuck with me are the ones where I get feedback from you. I love hearing what stories resonate with you and how you applied them in your life. Like when one Strider was struggling to make a tough career decision, our wise walk questions brought to the surface a clear answer for him, and he took steps to move in the direction that he wanted to go. I've also heard some great stories about how conversations are impacting individuals outside of our Strider’s collective. My friend and fellow strider Shandra shared the exercise at the beginning of 2021, what's your word for the year, with one of her co-workers, and then that co-worker challenged members of his team to think about their word for the year. Our conversations are expanding far outside of this Strider’s collective and impacting others.

I am deeply grateful for you helping me show up and gain momentum in my True Stride. Your support, encouragement, and appreciation for our Wise Walks and time together means more than you know. I am planning to celebrate you, us, and our Strider’s collective with my family and friends this coming weekend because they are always around helping me and cheering me on.
