Welcome

I am so glad you are here!

 If you are reading this, know that this was made your inbox!

There is so much on the to do list for the day and this read is not another item to add.

Rather The To Be List is a place to slow down, glean insight and open perspective on the very thing that needs space on the priority list: Who we are being + Who we are becoming

Paul said it best when he said, if he does everything, but does it all without any love, what is the point?

So much of the busyness that I found in my daily life was not adding value to the true meaning and was actually taking away of who I was being

I was tired, walking in worry, rushing to get things done.

I was lacking patience with my loved ones, and rhythms of flow + margin were nowhere to be found

I heard my uncle say it well, “Focus more on the to be list than the to do list.”

 So, in an instance, I wondered how much is on my to be list, or do I even have one?

I started analyzing the list I was prioritizing

So I slowed down, I made space, I erased items on my list (It was a great feeling). I, added margin, added rhythms of rest + creativity within this place.

I noticed intentional growth, a clearer perspective, more room for gratitude + a lot more joy to be found. I gave myself and others more grace. I found more stamina + felt a fresh wind again. I found my yes to be more intentional and my no to hold more weight.

I found that growth takes time + intentionality.

And I learned along the way that, Completing the to do list does not equal productivity.

The best version of ourselves and who we are, while we are doing the things that need to get done is the truest form of productivity. Focus on who we are being while we are doing because how we show up matters!

A meaningful life is now my priority and showing up with intention is my new focus.

 I am still working on it but that is the best part!

So here it is: The Journey of True Becoming + Learning Along the Way

This is the newsletter each week that will focus on what I am learning, what I saw + what the highlights were along the way. These are the meaningful moments of growth, positivity and intentionality throughout my week

This is about discovering who we are in the midst of all the doing

This is about growing who we are becoming in all we do

This newsletter will be coming every Friday + you are here for the very first one!
