Welcome to almanac. I'm Emily Thompson and today we're exploring the concepts of values and intentions

and how they work to infuse meaning into every aspect of your life.

Hello, so glad you're here and have returned to listen in maybe again. Today I'm excited to jump right into this.

For those of you who have been in my world before you may be thinking values again really and to you I reply absolutely to anyone new

welcome to the core of what may be my mission in this world helping folks identify their values and to live their lives or do their

work in accordance with them.

I have spent almost a decade talking about using values to build a business,

using both the personal values you bring into that experience,

as well as the values you infuse into the organization that you build.

And in that time, I have learned very deeply how important values are to your experience of this life.

When you know what you value, you gain understanding of who you are,

and you gain a helpful hand in making decisions

and moving forward in your life in a way that brings you so much more fulfillment.

When you are living in line with your values. You are literally being true to yourself.

And in this episode, we're going to dive into values, add on the practice of intentions,

and wrap it all up and how these work together with

living through the seasons and connecting with nature. For old listeners we're

adding another layer to the concepts that you've heard me share for years and for those of you who are new, welcome to it.

Let's dive in.

Let's start with a basic truth. The energies of the world are constantly in motion,

shaping our experiences in ways both seen and unseen. The world turns, the seasons change, the moon waxes and wanes.

Weather comes and goes, the tides ebb and flow.
