Hi Reader,

September in Prague brings those crisp mornings, the kind where you reach for a sweater and notice the fresh edge in the air. It's a sign that summer is quietly slipping away. Imagine stepping outside and feeling the shift, the familiar city suddenly hinting at something new.

As you walk to your favorite café or pause to notice how the light around you is changing, maybe you find yourself thinking back to January. Do you remember jotting down hopes for the year? Maybe some were bold, maybe some were tender. Which ones still tug at you, calling for just a bit more time, a second chance?

This is your invitation: take 30 minutes, grab a journal or just a quiet corner, and let yourself wander back over the months. What’s brought you joy? Where have you surprised yourself, and where are you still waiting for momentum? If progress feels out of reach, it’s often for one of these two reasons:

• you’re not being consistent,
• you’re focused on the wrong things.

If you’re feeling stuck between the two, you’re not alone. So many of us sit on the cusp of change, seeing possibility but unsure what step comes next. I'm with you on that journey. We're all having a human experience, which could mean thinking over doing or waiting for perfection.

If you’d like a nudge — or a cheering section — schedule a Lightning Clarity Session. My schedule’s a bit tight as I prepare for my next adventure (Japan, Taiwan, the US, and Canada!), but I have a few spaces left these next two weeks.

If today’s note made you think of a friend who’s also craving change or travel, please forward this email. Sometimes encouragement is the best gift.

Joyfully,
Damianne
