For the longer we go on our journey the more we realize that an integrated life is the goal. It is not about some myth of balance nor is it about having all the answers at once—it’s about knowing how to thread it together. Life, work, social, learning, and community can feel fragmented at times, with pieces scattered across our journey. But when we learn to connect the dots—taking the lessons from our experiences, from listening, the wisdom gained from our successes, from the partnership with our friends, and the strength from our challenges—we create something cohesive. Threading it together is about patience, persistence, and vision. It’s the ability to see how our actions fit into our bigger picture and trusting that, even when things feel disjointed, there’s purpose in every step. When we thread it together, we align who we are with our experiences and intentions, creating a path forward that is purposeful full of meaning and very satisfying.

Loving life, when I thread it together
