💌 From Kelly’s Desk

Hey Reader,

August always feels a little like standing at a threshold. Maybe it’s the back-to-school and work buzz in the air or the golden light that hints at transition.

This month, I’m holding space for the possible. The not-yet-known. The dreams. It’s not just about ambition or change—it’s about imagining more for ourselves and each other. In Athena Village, possibility is a shared practice. We speak it into being. We hold it for one another when it’s hard to see. We stretch toward it together.

Let’s explore what could be—without pressure, but with wide eyes and open hearts..

🔍 This Month’s Focus: Possibility

Possibility is a mindset, a muscle, a movement. It’s what happens when we shift from “I can’t” to “what if I ... ?” — even just a little.

In the Village, we define possibility as being open to new directions and visions. It’s about expanding what you believe is possible by allowing yourself to dream and then strategize from that dreaming space. (Martha Beck calls them W.I.G.s Wildly Improbably Goals) Maybe it looks like pivoting your business, launching a new workshop, writing a poem, or just imagining a new way of being. Whatever your "what if" is—we're here for it.

• 💭Reflection Prompt: What’s something you’ve quietly dreamed about that feels ready to be voiced this month? A W.I.G. – Wildly Improbable Goal
• 🛠 Action Step: Take 10 minutes to journal on this: *If I could wave a magic wand and make one change—personal or professional—what would it be? What’s one assumption you’ve held onto that may no longer serve you? How can you challenge it?

[August] Possibility: Dreaming Bigger and Challenging Assumptions August always feels a little like standing at a threshold.

For me, this August is especially tender and expansive—Mom and I are finally settled into our new home, and we’re both celebrating milestone birthdays. I’ll blow out my candles on Women’s Equalit...

A Little Inspiration for Exploring Possibilities

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
— Eleanor Roosevelt

This theme hits home for me in a beautiful way this year: Mom and I are finally settled into our new home (deep sigh of gratitude), and this month, we’re celebrating two big birthdays—mine on Women’s Equality Day, and my mom’s 90th(!) on August 30th.

Possibility isn’t just about big, sweeping change—it’s in the small choices, the tiny sparks of curiosity, the courage to try again, or try something new. In Athena Village, we believe that when we open ourselves to what could be, magic unfolds. So this month, let’s explore what’s possible—together.

🌼 Until Next Time

Together, let’s embrace possibility in August. Let’s dream beyond what’s comfortable and explore new ideas and opportunities. In Athena Village, we are creating a space where everything is possible—and we can support each other every step of the way.

Stay tuned for September's theme: So Do It!
