One brave step
Good morning. Your seat is waiting.
Before the day fills with noise, take a deep breath.
Every meaningful change starts the same way: with one small decision.
One brave conversation. One new habit. One step you almost talked yourself out of taking.
You don’t have to change your whole life today.
You just have to be willing to grow a little more than you did yesterday.
Today’s table is full of small ways to take that step, starting with something that might surprise you.
I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s begin.
200 Fun Facts Kids Love Guessing—This 2026 True/False Quiz is a Hit!
Some of these facts seem impossible and are completely true. Others seem obvious and aren’t. Both kinds will humble you in front of the kids, which is its own form of growth.
TABLE WISDOM
“Your world will expand for every step you dare to take outside your comfort zone.”
-Maria Irving

What if this summer became the one everyone talks about?
Hundreds of families have used this to plan their most memorable summer. One decision before August is all it takes.
THANKFUL THURSDAY
In the spirit of this week’s growth challenge, I’m thankful for…
-The June conference I went to. Speaking to a lot of strangers was…uncomfortable (and a bit exhausting). But within 100 conversations, I met one person who opened my eyes to what HHI and The Family Table could become.
It only takes one person or one thought to let growth shine in.
-Mountains. My family takes a yearly trip to the Colorado Rockies. I’ve noticed that after having kids, the stunning heights affect me differently. (I’m the person yelling “get away from the edge!” at my children when they are 10 feet from it).
Facing my fear of heights is something I have to do on every trip, and it is well worth it to have these memories together.
-Entrepreneurship. I’ve been running a giveaway and working on products. Any time you do anything in business, there’s a chance for rejection.
I almost always have to work through the voice in my head that fears no one will respond.
In all of these cases, I do what I teach my kids – it’s ok to feel the fear. That’s normal. But you can’t let it stop you.
And each time I take a chance, it brings more personal freedom, excitement, and learning. Win or learn – I’m so grateful for this.
