I’m keeping this one short and sweet but AUTHENTIC.  Today I’m screening my documentary for the FIRST TIME in Nashville. And I thought today would be full of excitement, but the truth is that I’m scared. I’m scared of people not liking it.  I’ve never done something like this before. What do you do when you feel the overwhelming stress of fear?  Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited. I LOVE this movie that we’ve made. But it’s new. And new things are scary!  . . . . .

When’s the last time you truly trusted your gut? Like REALLY trusted it. All on its own. No googling. No looking up the reviews before you show up to a new restaurant. No 57 open tabs with conflicting information when you already know what decision you want to make. Screens have disconnected us from this ability that I really believe every single human being has.  I’m sharing stats and stories that will encourage you to trust your God-given gut again.  How many decisions have you made today based on something you saw/read on a screen? What are decisions you can make today where you don’t open your screen to make it?  Intuition is a powerful tool. Get back to basic decision-making. . . . . .

I just spent the day with children’s gaming specialists at Children’s Hospital Colorado, and I am blown away.  As someone who spent 7 weeks without looking at a screen and has written a BOOK about how beautiful life is on the other side of them, the irony of my speaking at this gaming symposium does not escape me. But today was such a beautiful reminder of why screens themselves are not bad. These professionals are using screens to create, receive, and rescue moments for children all across America. That’s powerful. Today was inspiring and FASCINATING. And I want to share it with you! . . . . .
