💪 So, Do It: Moving from Intention to Reality with Bold Action 🚀


💌 From Kelly’s Desk

Hey Reader,

September is all about action—taking our dreams and turning them into reality. This month, we’re going to stop waiting for the “perfect moment” and start moving from intention to action. The best way to make progress is to just do it, and that’s exactly what we’ll focus on this month.

At Athena Village, we believe in courageous action—and we know that when we take that first step, the path begins to open up. Let’s move from intention to reality and embrace the bold steps forward that will help us achieve our WIGS - Wildly Improbable Goals.

🔍 This Month’s Focus: So Do It

The only way to move forward is to take action. This month, we’re focusing on taking the leap, whether it’s launching a project, starting a new habit, or finally writing that business plan. No more waiting—let’s do it!

  • 💭 Reflection Prompt: What’s one thing you’ve been putting off because it felt too big or intimidating?
  • 🛠 Action Step: Choose one action today—no matter how small—that will move you toward your big goal. Take that first step!

🌿 September | So, Do It! In the Village, September feels like our true new year—the air shifts, routines return, and we step back into the rhythm of our lives after summer.

Together, let’s take bold action this month. It’s time to stop waiting and start creating. In Athena Village, we support each other in every step, from intention to action.

Hey there, Reader, Building community can feel a bit like juggling flaming batons while trying to bake sourdough and write a business plan — all at once. That’s why I created The Creators’ Collective: a cozy corner of Athena Village where we can share ideas, swap experiments, and remind each other that we don’t have to have it all figured out to make magic happen. This month in Athena Village we're talking about PURPOSE... Purpose [PUR-pəs] A reason for existence, a sense of direction and...

💌 From Kelly’s Desk Hey Reader, You know those songs that hit you in the gut and the soul? For me, Aerosmith’s “Dream On” is one of those. Every time it comes on, I crank it up, close my eyes (unless I’m driving 😅), and let it take me back to a time when my biggest dream was just to become someone—even if I didn’t yet know who. Lately, that song has been echoing through my days again—not as nostalgia, but as a reminder. A reminder to keep dreaming… To stay connected to my purpose… To remember...
