CoT:
– Almost Famous: Why did I come out to F3? Because I was getting to the point in life that I was starting to mess up the small moments. I wasn’t present, I was too tired, I just wanted to escape. I realized that my kids deserved a better version of their dad. My challenge to the pax? Ace the small moments. Be slightly more present. Focus less on getting paralyzed in long term planning or big picture thinking. Focus today on acing every small moment that comes your way today.
– Wait Time: Challenged the pax
Ended in prayer: lifted up Tin Cup, Buns of Steel, Scoober’s family in our prayers for healing
