Thanks for the shoutout, K.! I appreciate your wisdom around exploring values and see that as a key to being true to ourselves. And I love that you point put that values change as our lives evolve. I find it really lowers the pressure on identifying our values when we aren’t trying to create some perfect, lasting statement. So glad to have found your Substack! ~ Lori
Please, just Lori. :) My current big three are interconnectedness, independence, and creativity. I believe each of us needs to be authentically true to ourselves while wholeheartedly supporting and enriching the whole; creativity helps us figure out how. Just a small task, I know! I can’t say I get the blend right all the time, but I love seeing moments of it.
!!! This is so good... and so on point. I honestly... *shame spiral in real time* don't exactly know *who* I am, sometimes... which is brutal for the ego to admit. Although I know, deep down I do know, because our higher self always knows. But on the surface? I'm half drowing in people-pleasing and flinging my personality around like a damm commodity and the hot life guard is flirting with the other hot life guard and UTTERLY annoying me. How horrible. But... and I do beleive in divine timing, and lovely posts like THIS pop up and throw me a floaty. 💕 And so, I am encouraged to keep letting the real me bubble through, hot life guards be damned.
Did the hot life guards ever stand a CHANCE anyway??? I THINK NOT. You are pure gold. And I love that you talk about your higher self *knowing* I need to remember that lady more often. Also: it’s 4:44 my time. So cheers. 🥂
For me values are, when I see to you who you are, your values and your personal style and served the majority of your community with your work and not any conformist.
Authentic values as courage compassion, resilience produces great deeds and thoughts, it’s are far better than laws and regulations.

This gave me comfort today. Thank you for sharing. It is amazing to see others who believe in the emotional intelligence within themselves. So glad this revelation of life is being brought out in beautiful words of caring wisdom. Thank you.
Great post. I love your quote from brene Brown-spot on.
I share value with you that I get in your writing without you having to say it and that is humor.
Another of mine is alone time in the morning to be with my dreams as my dreams show me my north star is always fine-tuning itself. As you say, our values do shift.
Someone said above how good that is to hear that. I liked hearing it as well because I’ve been working on restructuring my website and thinking if I should even redo values or let them express through actions.

Hi Ermira! That’s a fantastic quote- thank you for sharing it here! I love that you find value in resilience. I am working on that one this year!
That Brene Brown quote is so great. I definitely struggle with that kind of belonging.
I couldn't think of what my core values are at first so I cheated and looked at this James Clear list:
https://jamesclear.com/core-values
I'd probably go faith, humor, creativity. Inner harmony and optimism....not so much. (But working on it!)
Thank you so much for elevating this convo with a new resource for finding our CVs!!
Your sense of humor is top notch- I’m so glad it made the cut.
I’m working on the optimism too. 🥂
Loved this today!! Thanks so much K. Love you big!!! <3 <3
Thank you for being the kindest and holding me in spirit yesterday. Infinite love to you MK 🤍
Thank YOU!
Hi Amanda!
Thank you right back! If you end up completing any of the Core Value exercises- I would love to know what your North Stars are :)
Thank you 🙏
This really resonated today 💜
Thank yoj for reading dear Janet! If/when you feel comfortable I would love to know what some of your core values are. ⭐️
I had NO IDEA that we have internal and external awareness.
I knew but didn’t KNOW KNOW you know? Hah.
This is a game changer.
The volume is so dialed up on my external, but lately all I’ve been hearing is that it’s time to just go in in in and listen.
So timely.
Thank you!
Hi Jennifer!
We don’t know WHAT we don’t KNOW! 🤣 but I love that you knew…
