It's the time of the year when we look back ... and that can sometimes leave us feeling a little meh about the things we did and did not do. But just like Scottie P., we gotta live with no ragrets! The ~amazing~ quote mentioned in the episode is as follows, “Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different, it’s accepting the past for what it was, and using this moment and this time to help yourself move forward.” - Oprah Instead of focusing on our regrets, let's reframe them and ask how these moments served us, and let's use them as a catalyst to live our best lives!

Notice and don't assume. Share freely and often. Be specific. That's my recipe for success to give yourself & others positive reinforcement! If you're curious, I'm currently trying the Premium CBD Oil Tincture - Broad-Spectrum from Asé Pure Naturals.

You did it! You showed up! Honestly, sometimes "showing up" is the hardest part of the process. Let's acknowledge and celebrate those moments as much as we celebrate the end result!

A little update about this week's podcast

Just in case you needed a friendly reminder! Note: Sound quality is a ~little~ better, but still a work in progress. I have to get used to new technology and a new space!

Transitions can be really tough, but since they're a part of life, let's talk about them a little more. I apologize for the sound quality - I tried fixing it but I'm certainly not a Sound Engineer!

The Here Are My Thoughts podcast is getting a 2nd season!

Here's why the podcast has been a little quiet of late...

We've all heard the phrase, "Do no harm." What if that phrase was holding us back? What if that phrase was - in fact - hurting ourselves in some way?

Life can just be lived. You don't have to: prove anyone wrong... make anyone proud... change the world... leave a lasting legacy... You can simply show up, find the joy, be good to you and be good to others, learn from the pain, hold yourself accountable, relish in the wonder of it and ride this thing out. - Rachel Elizabeth Cargle (@rachel.cargle)
