Would you have more freedom? Would it drive you crazy because every second is not planned? Or do you really not care; you handle what’s right in front of you constantly?

Today, I want to encourage you to breathe and stop missing your life. Seriously, do something that you haven’t done in a while: sit and take in all that is around you.

Last night I was cooking out on the grill. The gray skies were moving in as the wind began to pick up. I knew I needed to get the steaks on if dinner was going to be at least halfway decent. You can’t have fresh corn on the cob and baked potatoes without some yummy steaks!

Well, in the quickness of the minutes, I chose to sit outside and watch the clouds roll in. I enjoyed watching how the smoke moved swiftly from one side of the Kamado Grill to the other. Nothing was more spectacular than experiencing change in the moment.

What if you would slow down enough so you could speed up later when needed?

The K.I.S.S. ~ Stop missing your life!

You don’t have to wait for the craziness to dissipate. In fact, if you do, then you’ll say goodbye to a day before you said hello.

So be brave in a magnificent way. Take a moment to appreciate all the beautiful things around you.

• Maybe it’s sitting poolside or reading a book on the couch.
• Maybe it’s hugging your children just because you can.
• Maybe it’s enjoy a brisk walk in the humid morning.

Pause for a moment. Take it all in.

Listen to the silence humming beneath the noise. Presence reveals beauty you didn’t see before.

Today, instead of missing your life, show up full and ready. This is your moment to shine—not by doing more, but by simply being. Stop missing your life. It’s waiting.

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
