Is One Day keeping you from Day One?

If I had a nickel for every time I had that thought.

We have the best intentions. We want change. We desire a new beginning or the next chapter. But when?

Suddenly, One Day sounds safer for your nervous system.

But, The moment we stop waiting to be ready and just begin, something changes in our brain…for the better.

That’s where the neuroscience gets interesting. When we realize motivation isn’t really the first step and action creates the evidence our brain needs. 🧠

👉 Want to know why and how? Drop the word DAY ONE and I’ll send you the link to my latest Substack article on The Brain Candy Blueprint.

It’s time to HUG it Out with Day One. Hil

With our planet in peril, little things make a big difference.

🌳 If you can save a tree that bears fruit, do it.

🦅 If you can give wildlife room to roam, do it.

🌏 Don’t underestimate the small changes you can make that have more of an impact than you know.

Just ask our new friend Sir Isaac Fig Newton the Fig Tree. His days were numbered and we asked if we could take him to give him a second chance. And it helped our own well being.

Planting a tree lowers cortisol levels and naturally reduces stress. Nurturing its growth builds a hopeful sense of purpose and routine. Finally, working with soil provides immediate mindful grounding to interrupt negative overthinking.

This HUG it Out moment is leaning on the Gratitude… for the person who said YES to letting us rehome Sir Isaac and we’re grateful for giving him a chance to thrive.

It feels good to tree HUG it Out today.

HUGS and Figs Hil (& Chris)

PS- does anyone know the best way to replant a Fig Tree? 🌳

We could all use this reminder right now:⁣
⁣
“The world needs your unique gifts. Don’t leave with them still inside you.”⁣
⁣
I read those words just hours after learning of Dolly Parton’s passing.⁣
⁣
The timing stopped me in my tracks since moments later I was driving my mom to the airport after celebrating her birthday in my new home. During the long drive, we talked about life, change and how a door can open long before we recognize it.⁣
⁣
Sometimes we focus so much on what’s closing that we miss what’s waiting. Or in the uncertainty, we want answers, assurance. Proof. ⁣
⁣
Dolly never left her gifts inside. She shared her voice, creativity, humor, generosity, heart and story with the world. She was everyone’s Dolly. And there was only one. ⁣
⁣
Maybe that’s the reminder we all need: your gift doesn’t have to be perfect to matter. It just has to be yours. Your story, your experience, your creativity. And your ability to make someone laugh or feel seen and shared. ⁣
⁣
That’s why the HUG it Out way means so much to me. It’s a reminder to lead with Humor, Understanding and Gratitude while navigating the messy, beautiful business of being human.⁣
⁣
⁣
You don’t need to see the whole path. Just take the next step.⁣
⁣
HUGS and happy trails….Hil⁣

Just wait until you hear what I said 🤦🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
With 30 years under my belt on live TV, I can guaranty it wasn’t the only oopsie that came out of my mouth. ⁣
⁣
From my early days on the news anchor desk (pre digital age) to being a guest on QVC for 15 years, things do happen. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes, by accident. Other times…by being human. ⁣
⁣
My first anchor job at a local TV station in Louisiana had a cricket infestation in the studio and our sports anchor fell off the platform swatting it away. That one made it on a national TV blooper show. ⁣
⁣
And then there are those “oopsie”moments where you asked yourself, “what just came out of my mouth?” ⁣
⁣
Like this QVC moment back in the day when I was the solar light gal. ⁣

Did I just say that on live TV? Good Morning, America! You can’t make this stuff up. ⁣
⁣
I have a vault of bloopers and funny moments that keep me humble. Because, life isn’t about perfection, it’s about being human. ⁣
⁣
And being human means finding the Humor in the everyday… even when it’s unexpected. 🦗🦗 🦗 That’s the H in the H-U-G it Out way. ⁣
⁣
Do you have a moment like that you still laugh about? Share it below. ⁣
⁣
HUGS and oopsies… Hil⁣
