Cadre Today and Welcome to Cadre

Hey there, Cadre. How are we doing this morning? I hope you're good. Wherever you are, give me a word, give me a sign, show me where to look and tell me I have to stop every time I hear that voice, y'all. B. davis. How are you this morning? Let the music play on in just for a moment. Jewels. Hey, Bezo Bits. Hey, Jules. How is everybody doing? That was a little early 2000s Dolly Parton cover of early 90s hit by collective Soul Shine. And I hope wherever you are, that you're feeling a little bit of light today.

And knowing all that, a lot of days we don't feel light, we don't feel shine. Guess what? That sounds like you are living life, drinking your coffee, waving your hand, saying morning to those people around you and doing your best. My name's JC if we've never shared time and space together before, I love getting to say how grateful I am to get to spend time with you and how honored it is to spend time in your space. Every single day. There's these opportunities to come in and check in in the Cadre sphere in some way, whether that be anonymously looking for some pre recorded content, or maybe you're sharing your insight or your presence or your state or your thoughts within the community feed.

Maybe it's by jumping into a live stream like you're doing right now. All of these things, aside from whatever the specificity is, you take from it, the act of bumping into the Cadre sphere says to yourself that you are on your side. And the newest, coolest, bestest thing that this wonderful Cadre who's saying good morning right now. Good morning to the one and only and the entire Cadre sphere. If you're wondering who the one and only is, y'all, it's, that's you. The newest feature in the Cadre sphere are these wonderful little communities.

You know, one of my favorite TV shows of all time is House, the medical drama starring Hugh Laurie, who's kind of the eccentric super super, like aware of, of, of his ideas and his craft. Just kind of hard to work with. I've always related to House, like, he's the TV character. I go, I get you. But there's an episode where there's this patient who demands that he is her doctor. And House, who doesn't really like having people around, goes, why? Like, I don't. Like, why do you want to work with? Like, why do I need to be your doctor?

There's so many other doctors. And she says, because life is a collection of rooms and who you spend time with in each of those rooms is the value of your life. And I go, ah, that's Cadre a little bit also. That's, that's life, right? Being where you are with what you have and going, so what am I going to do with this? So all that being said, I'm on a little 12 day journey to go ahead and spend time talking about each of the communities, current communities, more communities to come. Today I'm going to speak about one that I struggle with the most and it is the money community.

Why? Because I grew up the poor kid who like, if you got money, you spend it, you get rid of it. It makes you uncomfortable, it makes you feel icky and cruddy. So my starting place with money is always in that place. Ah, this is something that I don't have. This is something that I don't know anything about. You may have a lot of pathways that bring you into your money conversation. Here's what the description of the community is. In the money community, manage your life and emotions around money by developing practical habits, achieving emotional balance and building financial resilience.

I love the word emotions is in that, right? Because for a lot of people, like when people say, ah, money can't, you can't buy happiness. And I go, actually I could make a direct correlation between those two things happening. Morning Tanya. How are you on this Friday, my friend? So again, the emotional response to this thing that kind of moves us and drives us a little bit. That's what speaks to me within this community. The cool thing about communities in Cadre is if you want in, click join. If you want to go and say, hey, we'll see you later everybody, you can click unjoin anytime you want to shift up what's populating in your feed.

Easy as a peasy. Don't know what a peasy is, but I know that they're easy because we always say easy peasy. Anyways, so I have to show something that I'm really kind of excited by. Have you ever seen one of these things? It's got a little hole down here and then it's got this little like grid and it's a apparently a really popular money saving tool. So each of these little boxes are our amounts of money. And then whenever you put that much money in the box, you cross it off and you move on. So once I fill this box, I will have $5,000 in here, which it's like, whoa.

So often our relationship with anything, whether it be money, whether it be relationships Whether it be our mental health, whether it be where we're going in this world or the world in itself. So often the thing we're looking for is not a thing, but it's a redirection or a shift in perspective of the thing, right? If all of a sudden I go, ah, I don't. I don't hold on to money. Well. Well, if I have this little box where all of a sudden it's like, oh, I have a five dollar bill, boom, there's a $5 box on the box.

I'm gonna go and throw it in there. And all of a sudden I just saved. In a way that makes sense to me, as someone else may go, no, no, no. You need to do X, you need to do Y. And even though X or Y may be better in the long run, you end up losing the capacity to go, huh? Is this something that makes sense to me? Is this sustainable to me? Does this allow me to. As Dolly would sing, as Collective soul would sing, does it allow me to shine? So as you go on with your Friday today, y'all, I wish for you that little bit of direction.

You may find it right here. It helps you shine a little bit. Yeah, Dolly. Yeah, Cadre. I'll see you tomorrow morning. Heaven, let your light shine.
