👋 Friends!

Oh dear reader… This is either the BEST time to write to you or the WORST time.

Let’s find out, shall we? 🙃 I was gutted today when I tried to work and realized: I have NO IDEA what I want to do with my life.

The past couple months have broken me wide apart. We came back from Brazil, and really I only came back because of the commitment I have to the co-op I started. But I don’t want to be here. It’s so weird to admit that. Yet, I am glad to be alive. I am glad for the moments and the growth and the learnings and the path.

The path is… the path.

If we are on a path to anywhere at all, we are alive. If we are alive, we are blessed! And so it is, I am blessed by every day even if I feel like I need to paint over this painting and red rover red rover, start this one right over! As if I weren’t already torn open enough, Lilla slept away from home several nights in a row.

Carlos woke up early for work.

And I woke up to a lonely, empty space.

Just… empty.

I don’t know why this felt so big, but the emptiness and space caused me to wonder even deeper than I already had, WTK (what the kale!) am I doing here? And do you know what’s even crazier? I TRULY HAVE NO IDEA.

I mean, I know my superpowers and passions. Heck, I’ll even list them off. Warning, I’m not going to be humble here.

These are my strengths.

I could similarly list my weaknesses!

But that’s not related to this conversation!

* I love to build websites, and I’m really good at it.

* I love the way it feels to eat foods from the earth, and I’m a pretty fantastic raw food chef and teacher.

* I know deep down how important it is to take care of ourselves, and I find it actually quite easy to avoid junky foods. My raw food programs are ALWAYS guilt-free, and there’s something magical about my approach that gets results.

* I’m a fantastic teacher, and I know how to simplify what I have learned in my own life.

* I love to be Lilla’s mom and enjoy the moments with her.

* I love to travel and learn new languages. (Side note: it’s really hard for me to live on an island. Even if it’s a lovely island. Sometimes I wonder what I’m even doing here?!)

* I’m crazy passionate and honest to my core (almost to a fault, I simply cannot avoid sharing what’s real)

* I can shrink timelines. Websites built in hours or days, not weeks or months.

Businesses BOOMING in short time periods too. Imagine it and POOF make it happen. I can do that any day of the week!

But to do all that magical timeline shrinking thing? I have to have soul and PASSION behind it. No way around it. My passion is rocket fuel ready to launch what I want or help someone else do the same.

I made a commitment to make an offer to someone — somewhere — for something — every day this month. And then I wimped out because I didn’t know what to offer. I couldn’t get excited about anything!

And so now I am sitting here, and I see that the only way OUT of this darkness is to go THROUGH it. I have to MOVE. I have to move even in DARKNESS. I have to step forward even without KNOWING FOR SURE what is next. I have to be still and listen to this loving, living heart beating inside of me.

And today I am feeling deeply led to launch something I’ve decided to call the “Progress Posse”.

This is for you if YOU KNOW you want to do something big… But perhaps you’re not sure how… or what.

You know that “progress is progress”, but you’re not making progress right now.

You’re feeling stuck like I do right now, but for your own reasons!

So… We can make progress together!! :)

Every single day for the next month and... beyond...

But… for the love of all things good… no scheduled 1-on-1 calls all the time.

Let’s let it be flexible but solid, know what I mean?

Supported as heck, YES.

What do you think?

Want to make progress together? Let’s do it!!

We’ll be like sweet, innocent kids who believe that ANYTHING is possible. Then we’ll take adult-sized action steps and make progress every day! And then… by the end of the month… those steps and all that progress will feel like a giant miracle!

If you’re up for it or even just want to say “HELLO”, write back to this email. I won’t bite. And my heart is so wide open right now that I will be happy just to know you “hear/t” what I’m sharing.

Also. I don’t have any raw food recipes or business shares for you today. I might have them soon.

But just… not today.

BIG HUGS, AND LOTS OF LOVE.

And if you don’t feel like you have it all figured out right now, either? Take heart. You woke up today. Even if you’re trudging through the darkness or don’t have everything figured out, IT’S A BLESSED DAY.

Then there is tomorrow! And when you wake up tomorrow, that will be another blessing too. Life is a gift… I know this to be true with every part of my being… but I also know that we have to choose it as a gift. That’s easier on some days than others, eh?

OK. This is it. I’m sending this with lots of love and hope to hear from a friend or few. :)

LOVE,

Éva

P.S. Do you know about my “love” song? The one that came out when Lilla was a teething baby? When I was trying to figure out today, I closed my eyes and sang that out, and it moved my energy in such a beautiful way. Music moves me… does it move you too? I have to dig up the link but would happily GIFT YOU with the love song if you think it might move you too?! Just let me know!!! :)

P.P.S. I actually dug this email out of the archives because we have completely pivoted on the name for our group. It's no longer "the LaB". It's now finally landed at its right name: THE PROGRESS POSSE!!!! Come on in, and join us! This very email is where the name originated. I remember this day like it was yesterday, and only now do I realize that this is the name and the container for what I'm envisioning for us. Truly and deeply in service to our community!
