💪 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!

A Little Inspiration for Taking Action

“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” — Walt Disney

In September, let’s stop dreaming about our goals and start taking action toward them. Even the smallest step forward is progress. This is your moment—do it, and watch everything start to unfold. 💥

🌼 Until Next Time

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.

Stay tuned for next month’s theme: Inspiration!

💌 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...

💌 From Kelly’s Desk Hey Reader, July is all about sistering—a powerful term borrowed from the world of construction (one of my former lives!), where it means adding support to strengthen. Now I've pulled that concept into Athena Village, where we know that sistering is the foundation of everything we do. Together, we lift each other up, share wisdom, and create a community that thrives on mutual support and respect. This month, let’s reflect on how we can sister one another in ways that make...
