I just got back from my longest stretch away from my husband and kids: Five days for the Rise Business conference in South Carolina. The speaker line-up was so exciting, and investing in me and my business felt amazing, and DANG is Charleston a cool place to visit. I went in knowing I was going to learn a TON.

But one of the biggest lessons from the conference was one I was reminded of even before I left.

I squeezed as much intensity and intention into the 24 hours prior to my departure as I possibly could. I did my best to savor every little moment because I knew how much my heart would ache for these little interactions while I was away.

And I found myself wondering why we don’t live with such intensity more regularly. The day wasn’t some kind of epic series of special events, it was just a regular Tuesday. Yet, it was one of my favorite days with our kids ever.

I’m committing to living a more magical existence by FINDING the magic in the mundane and I challenge you to do so as well. Take a listen to a few ways you might exercise this lesson in your own life, and tell me where you’re committing to finding the magic in the mundane by commenting below!
