Cadre Today- Thin Space

Hey, Cadre. How are we doing today? How are you doing? I. I really, really hope that you are doing great. I hope you're finding some moments today to fill your cup. You're finding some things to challenge you in the way that you want to be challenged and supported in the way you want to be supported. Leslie, how are you doing? My friend? Mafi, I really hope the best of things for you today. And even if the best of things are the things that are challenging or maybe uncomfortable, Amar, I hope those things for you.

My name is JC if we've never shared time and space together before, I hope that you know how much I appreciate you. Let me spend some time with you right now. I'm glad that I'm here. I'm glad that you're here. I know what I know and I care about you. Mafi, it's your birthday. I remember when it was Speak Wonder's birthday two years ago. Two years ago. Speak Wonder. I remember when it was your birthday. And right here on Cadre, we sang Happy Birthday to you. And we had people in north and South Carolina.

We had people down in Texas, we had people up in Minnesota. We had people everywhere singing Happy Birthday to Speak Wonder. So how about we sing Happy Birthday right now to Maffy? No matter where you are, let's sing Happy Birthday. Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday, dear Maffy Happy birthday to you Happy birthday, my friend. That's what Emily. Hey, that's what the thin space looks like. The thin space looks like your brain going and then reacting to what made it go. It's a beautiful fight flight response.

It's a beautiful something's happening and how can we react? Right? Like I always love saying, your nervous system doesn't have an opinion. So if something is happening and your body goes, it's not saying something bad's happening or something good's happening. It's saying something is happening. And you get to react in that moment to what it is. We make fight and flight out to be bad things. Your sympathetic system is actually the best of things. It's the thing that allows you to go, something's happening.

What are we gonna do with it? If there's danger, how do we protect ourselves from it? How do we respond? If something good's happening, how do we get nourished by it? How do we dive into all that goodness? Maffy, you just gave us the best moment of the day by letting us know there is something good to dive into. I'll tell you, I was ready to bop on here today and share about, you know, the power of being in the moment, the. When lots of stuff's going on. Because there's lots of stuff going on. Right?

And the beautiful thing is, if I wouldn't have been in the thin space, ready to be diving into the good stuff here, I would have gone down a different pathway. That would have been okay, too. But sometimes, everybody, all y' all who are planners, you go, and here's my seven steps to success. And here's the thing that I do every day, no matter what. Yeah. Those things will make us feel good, like we're. We're protecting ourselves from the world that we don't know where it's going to give us a next.

But I'll tell you, those seven steps, those things we never miss, there's more than seven steps, and they're not steps, and we will miss them, and you will move on. My hope is that not. You figure it. My hope is not that you figure it all out, but that you find yourself in spaces where people have the courage to say, hey, it's my birthday today. So all of us can go and for a moment, shift into a really, really beautiful space that we wouldn't be able to be in unless someone welcomed us into it. And I guess that's today's thin space.

Happy birthday, Mavi. And everybody else, happy whatever day this is for you, even if it's not a happy day. I'm glad you're here. I'll see you later.
