Cross Border Living - Your Life. Your Vision. Your World

The perfect spot for reflection. After 10 days of settling into this new beachside condo, sitting here, reflecting and feeling gratitude, I’ve realized that indirectly it’s ticking a box for me from when I was in high school. I always wanted to be the person who had a property here.. and now it seems I have indeed become that person. Now pondering that next version.. what’s your next?

Don’t forget to schedule in some time to relax and recharge

If you’re living outside the U.S., like me, today can feel less special. I used to sometimes feel this way but then I shifted my focus to
- offering a small favor or act of kindness
- sending a quick message of appreciation
- complimenting without hesitation
We can share the spirit of the day no matter where we are in the world.

This is particularly relevant for me this year as my immediate family of 4 is scattered across 3 countries this year

Gratitude shifts your mind to positivity and we all can use more of that.

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁

Reflecting on the principle of legacy . The legacy of the spirit of the people the sculpture is designed to honor and the legacy of the sculptor, whose children and grandchildren work on the project today.

What’s the legacy and/or impact you want to create? How is that being actioned?

I had the privilege of visiting the Crazy Horse Memorial recently. The visit had me reflecting on a principle that enters conversations with clients regularly: legacy.

The project was initiated by a sculptor who was self-taught but nonetheless renowned after being asked by Chief Standing Bear. He worked the remainder of his life on the project, and some of his children and grandchildren carry on the project today.

Why Crazy Horse? According to the sculptor he is “…to be carved not so much as a lineal likeness, but more as a memorial to the spirit of Crazy Horse - to his people. With his left hand gesturing forward in response to the derisive question asked, ‘Where are your lands now?’ crazy Horse replied, ‘My lands are where my dead lie buried.’”

Today the mission of the Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation is to protect and preserve the cultures, traditions, and living heritage of all North American Indians.

It’s an inspiration- the legacy of a family dedicated to preserving the legacy of a people.

What does legacy and/or impact mean to you? How is it showing up?

We’ve reached the mid point of the year. As you finalize your summer vacation plans be sure to take along a journal to capture your thoughts about how your year has gone so far - your wins and what needs to happen in the remaining months to make this year your best one yet.

First fish cake of the day! We just invested in a sous vide cooking machine so this year was the first using it for our salmon cakes and it didn’t disappoint!

Happy Good Friday!
