Find Your Table

Find Your Table

The past few years have resulted in a reflection on many aspects of life.

For me, who sits at my table is one of these reflections. I wrote these words on this topic about a month ago.

As we journey through life, I believe this is one of the most important questions to ask ourselves: Who do I want sitting at my table?

Find you table.

Claim it. Nurture the relationships sitting alongside you.

I can’t emphasize this enough.

Find your table.?

They say it gets smaller as you age. It really does.?

But… it becomes richer, deeper, and more meaningful.

There are fewer seats. But there is more room for tears. More room for laughter. More room for soul.?

Find your people...?

  • The ones you can be real with?
  • The ones you can be fully you with
  • The ones who come over when your house is a wreck
  • The ones who embrace you when your heart is a wreck
  • The ones who love you with reckless abandon- no matter what?

Choose carefully, and let go of the rest.

Walk away from the heaviness of trying to sit at a table that was never laid with the capacity for your exquisite uniqueness.

Let who matters, be all that matters. A meaningful life isn’t about the number of seats.

It’s about who’s sitting in the occupied ones. There’s a table reserved just for you, and it’s absolutely beautiful.?

Find your table. Find your people.?

With love,?
