what is your purpose equation?

18. April 2012

After yesterday’s Purpose Equation, I feel like I’m sensing more people are starting to “get” the whole concept of life purpose in a much more realistic and true way. It’s exciting. I feel like we as a community are going to make great progress once this is understood! And there is going to be a [...]

future me

12. April 2012

Lately, I’ve been working longer hours than ever before, but stressing less. How you might ask? That’s because Future Jess is working overtime. Yep, that’s right. I’ve cloned myself and the second Jess is living somewhere off in the future working hard for Jess LC and my personal life. My Future Jess is pretty awesome, [...]

incrementally better

10. April 2012

Sometimes I need to be reminded of my own lessons that I share here on MML. Today was a great example. As I was running around trying to finish what felt like a million projects across MML, Jess LC, and BwI Workshops, I stopped for a moment to check my Twitter on the bus. What [...]

inauthentic intentions

9. April 2012

When designing a life with intention, the first step is creating a vision for your life. But be careful, if you don’t take this step seriously and do it with authenticity, you could end up miserable (and annoying to be around). I should know. I made this mistake myself last summer. You see, I have always [...]

three things to do when you don’t know your purpose

3. April 2012

  One of the biggest things I’d like people to take away from MML is the belief that it is totally freaking okay (and normal) if you don’t know your purpose yet. I feel like there is a sense out there that there is something wrong – especially for those in their early 20′s – [...]

things I’m afraid to tell you

29. March 2012

Though I like to think I’m pretty much an open book online, there are things about me that I hide for fear of rejection or judgement. This is silly to my logical brain, my experience has shown that the more we are real online, the more people can connect and care about us as humans [...]

how long it should take to complete an intention

28. March 2012

Today Mrs. Meyers reminded me of something that I keep in mind while working to fulfill intentions in my life that I find very helpful. So of course, I’d like to share it with you. When we get serious about creating intentions for our lives it is easy to make sweeping goals and grand gestures. [...]

choosing your thoughts

26. March 2012

Last Friday I was chatting with a friend who is going to be moving soon. As you can imagine, she has a lot on her plate and the move is just one more big thing on the to-do pile. I happened to mention that she might want to take some time choosing her thoughts over [...]

the icing or the cake

22. March 2012

When it comes to cake, I prefer the icing more. In fact, when Mr. Lively and I stop by Molly’s Cupcakes, my treat of choice is an icing shot – which is a healthy dose of icing in a small plastic cup, sans cake. Though to some that might seem gross, to me it’s heavenly. [...]

bad juju

19. March 2012

Earlier today I tweeted about how I was frustrated about a situation that I’d like to share. Here’s the story, and the (eventual) happy ending. Since January I’ve been dealing with a bank about a student loan and the relatively simple process is still going on. What should have been a one time encounter, has [...]

leaving the city of regret

19. March 2012

Thanks to Mrs. Meyers, I found this great story. Leaving the City of Regret By Larry Harp I had not really planned on taking a trip this time of year, and yet I found myself packing rather hurriedly. This trip was going to be unpleasant and I knew in advance that no real good would [...]

using siri for focus points

15. March 2012

Two nights ago Mr. Lively and I were reading The Way of the Superior Man (yes, we are still working through the book) and one of the quotes struck me. David Deida said “You are that which you seek.” I liked it and wanted to keep it in mind as I continue to grow my career [...]
