I was talking with my teenager about the speed of texting. If you "keep up" there's no time to think; it's all response.

I offered a process, "They'll still be there if you take just 3 minutes to think before you answer. What if you asked yourself 3 questions before you answer. . . Who am I? What do I believe (or value)? How do I want to be treated?"

So, why am I telling you this?

Because our values are that strong. If we'll actually use them they will auto-correct a multitude of inconsistencies.

Knowing and using our values is the fastest way to make decisions, increase confidence, build solid relationships, calm our thoughts and hearts, and create a home that knows and supports you.

And when you know what you value then. . .

You can create space for anything you value.

By pairing values and reality I've created space for family, birth, grief, art, business, natural light, the dreams of clients, rest, moves, and deep conversation based on my values. Not every space is equal or permanent but each was given what it needed.

What space do you need to create based on your values?
