Since announcing the new book club, I have had lots of universal signs that I need to get moving. This morning was no exception. I ran across this video and it's a great reminder of how we keep ourselves limited. Take a listen.

What have you drawn a circle around? Where are you imagining that you are trapped inside? Do you want to bust through that limitation?

The next book club might be just the thing to push you outside of your imaginary limits. If you want to join us, share a 📚in the comments and let's connect.

It's time to announce the next book club! 🚀

It's about time that I get my act together and get back in my coaching space. I've been a bit absent and have been using up all the excuses of "I'm too busy" or "I have so much to do". Yes, I'm busy. No, I'm not too busy to keep doing what I'm passionate about, which is helping other women live intentionally from their heart.

I've been putting off all the things that I know have been good for me because my schedule shook up a bit by taking on a new job. I realized I hadn't really changed much except for the fact that I'm not in my home during the day. And just because I'm not in my home doesn't mean I should stop doing all the things that fill my cup and excite me to keep moving forward.

I've been thinking of all the things I've let slide and the words of Mel Robbins have been ringing in my head ever since seeing her in September "count backwards, 5,4,3,2,1 and then just do the damn thing".

This morning, my husband helped kickstart the countdown by asking me to do a task that he could have probably done himself. As I laid in bed wanting to just hit snooze a hundred more times, I thought, "Dammit Val, 5,4,3,2,1 get up and do the damn thing." And guess what...I did.

And now, I'm reaching out to all of you to invite you to join me in reading the 5 Second Rule and just doing the damn thing that you've been meaning to do for who knows how long.

Our first gathering starts next week. To join us, just holler 👇🏼and I'll get you looped in.

Today's the day for me to check off a bucket list item. I have the opportunity to get in front of Mel Robbins . After years of following her, 2 years in her LAUNCH coaching program, and so many book club gatherings I've lost count, today I hope to grab her attention and get to live the dream of meeting her in person.

If you believe in the power of vibes, prayers, magnetism, whatever, please send them my way to help me attract this moment.

Lots of change has been happening in my world lately but the one constant is my husband. He has been so supportive of all my dreams, my coaching business, my oil business, and now my new venture with where all my experiences get to thrive. I was surprised by a visit today with some wonderful gifts to celebrate 14 years of marriage. I'm looking forward to many more years of us growing everything together.

I've been a little MIA lately as I figure out my new life schedule. I've had some big changes recently, all for the good, and I'm making sure I prioritize the important things, like a night out at the melodrama with my son. ❤️

Proper handwashing is the #1 way to prevent the spread of disease and germs. But what if you don't have access to soap and water? What if you're traveling and have a roadside stop for a potty break?

I'm running and participating in 3 different challenges this month. My own, Intentional Daily Living, a 21-Day Wellness Challenge, and a private workout challenge with Veronica Haas. These are great because they keep me accountable and moving forward. But yesterday, I had a pity party because I couldn't do part of the challenge in one of the groups. I got pretty down on myself about it and self-sabotaged some of the progress I've been making.

Luckily, I have friends who don't judge my progress, encourage me to do what I say I'm going to do, and give me grace when I can't do the things I say I'm going to do.

Sometimes, the truest reflection of ourselves is found in the eyes of a friend. Their eyes are like mirrors, reflecting all the goodness and potential they see in us. It's easy to lose sight of our own worth, but by looking into their eyes, we’re reminded of the love, admiration, and belief they hold for us. This Irish proverb came across my reading today and I am so grateful for the friends I have who reflect back to me what they see in me.

Let’s share our gratitude for these reflections and remember to see ourselves through the lens of those who truly care. Tag the person who gives you this perspective or tag a friend who needs to see their value through your eyes.
