JC reflects on thin space—the in-between moments of past and future—using a playful story about putting his shirt on inside out to explore presence, self-care and noticing when attention drifts from now to what's next.
J.C. letting you know that he put his shirt on inside out and he didn't change it for the live stream. Good morning, Becky's. Hey, how are you? Happy Sunday.
JC: Why does Cadre today exist? To be that friendly, squeaky reminder that we hope that you're good, but if you're not good, that's okay too. Sundays, we talk about self care. We talk about you nourishing yourself and getting ready for whatever's next.
Luke: Being in the moment in between everything that has been and everything that will be. Find the moments where you go, ah, you know what? This idea of thin space. Tomorrow morning, in 23 and a half hours, you're going to see Luke as the guest on Cadre today interview.
Hey, good morning, Cadre. How are you? My light's a little yellow today. Maybe that's a little bit better. I'm turning the light on. And as I turn the light on, I introduce you to see that I have put my shirt on inside out today. It's probably the weirdest start to a Sunday morning livestream that you've ever seen, huh? C. letting you know that he put his shirt on inside out and he didn't change it for the live stream. I'll tell you why in a moment. Good morning, Becky's. All the Becky's in the house.
Hey, how are you? Happy Sunday. Nice to see you. Everybody rolling on in. Hey, this is Cadre Today, Weekend Edition, and my name's JC if we've never shared time and space together before, Jules, nice to see you. Thank you for spending some time with me today. Why does Cadre today exist? To be that friendly, squeaky reminder that we hope that you're good, but if you're not good, that's okay too, right? Cadre is bringing together you and others and me to remind each other and people that we don't know yet that there are many ways to be in.
Well, Sundays, we talk about self care. We talk about you nourishing yourself and getting ready for whatever's next. And that statement, getting ready for whatever's next, sets us up for why I have put my shirt on inside out this morning and didn't realize it until I was just about to hit go on this live stream. I always love talking about the idea of thin space, the space in between everything that has happened and everything that will be. So as we. As we think about that, right, Being in the moment in between everything that has been and everything that will be, what do you think I was thinking about when I put my shirt on this morning?
Probably not being in the moment that I'm in. It took me a couple minutes to be like, oh, my cuffs, look. Oh, I have a. Okay, my shirt's on inside out. We've either done it or we know people who've done it, right? And they go, oh, my gosh, my head's falling off. And we just kind of write it off as a oh, my gosh, my head's fallen off moment. But, no, why is my shirt on inside out right now? Because I was busy thinking about what's coming next, where I have to get to, rather than being where I am with what I have and honoring that.
So sometimes you have to think, huh, what do these things mean to me? Right? What do Each of these little morsels that, that you pick up in the Cadre sphere, what do they mean to you? Find the moments where you go, ah, you know what? This idea of thin space. Yeah, presence. Got it. That's what it meant until I put my shirt on inside out. From now on, I will be the person going, huh, you know what? Here's a really good way to think about the thin space. Have you ever put your shirt on inside out and then an hour later you go, oh, my gosh, my shirt's on inside out?
Maybe you say things like, oh, my head's fallen off, so on and so forth, and we run into these moments. So there's your stickiness of thin space. For this Sunday morning, a couple shout outs. First of all, Luke and Chris have joined the party and you can see them lighten up the chat right now, going around the congregation, offering the head nods and the handshakes. That's one of the best things about the Cadre sphere, y'all. Familiar faces and faces you don't know yet. That's what I like to call strangers.
Second, little takeaway for today. Tomorrow morning, in 23 and a half hours, you're going to be seeing Luke as the guest on Cadre today interview. So 7:30 Central Standard Time tomorrow morning, you will be able to log in right here and you'll see me on the top half of the screen, Luke on the bottom, and we will be talking about all things that Luke normally stirs up on a Monday morning. So our newest way of sharing information and connection and resources right here in the Cadre sphere, Cadre Today interviews, Luke tomorrow morning and the wonderful Betsy Hodges coming in on Wednesday morning.
In the meantime, have a great Sunday. Y'all. Tap into the Cadre sphere when you need, but go out there and live in a world that you're trying to figure out just like the rest of us. We'll talk to you later.
