Two Monday mornings ago, the small talk entering the building started with a twist on a common question. Rather than asking how was the weekend, I was asked if I did anything lifegiving.

“Every weekend is lifegiving,” I responded.

“Wow. That’s a pretty high standard.”

“I think it should be pretty normal.”

Small talk over.

I’m pretty sure we needed to clear something up were the conversation to continue. What defines as lifegiving? I don’t think we shared the same parameters or scale.

Lifegiving does not have to be synonymous with…

• Once in a lifetime
• Lifechanging
• Big bucks
• Plastered over social media

Lifegiving can be as simple as…

• Slowing down
• Having nothing on the agenda
• Taking a nap
• Time with Your Ones doing or just being

With an intentional and clear understanding of what breathes life into you, every weekend can be lifegiving. It’s a mindset. It can actually be commonplace. If that’s a high standard, so be it.

What breathes life into your body, mind, and spirit? What’s one way to make that happen these next two days?
