Compound interest

We give each other feedback regularly.

We started this when our kids were little and we were burning out at both ends.

We made a practice of once a week meeting to share what was working for us, and what wasn't. We help each other recognize our blind spots and create solutions for them.

While so-called relationship “experts” will tell you not to be each other's coach - we have always been each other's greatest source of inspiration and reflection.

We remind one another of who we are and who we are not.

And while in those early years, it felt like we were always working towards bridging a gap, these days it's more refinement.

A lot of championing, praising, and delighting in the flow state we are now in.

So wherever you are in the journey I want to encourage you not to give up. Being committed to growing together and consistent with intentionality has compounding interest.

As our kids got older we incorporated this with them too and still do it regularly.

The way it breaks down barriers opens the heart, and connects us deeper has been an extraordinary gift.

The key is being open to receive from those who know and love you most.

And the heart posture is to always share from love for the sake of more love.
