Hello everyone,

Can it really be Wednesday already?? Guess it’s time for…

🌱 Grandpa’s Wisdom Wednesday 🌱

This week, Grandpa shares some timeless advice for Macie that I think many of us can relate to:

“Hey Little One, it’s not how you start, but how you finish that really matters.”

We’ve all had moments when things don’t go as planned from the start. I’m reminded of a childhood friend who, after finishing the first nine holes of golf in last place, would always declare at the turn, “It’s The New Nine!” For him, it was a way to reset, refocus, and motivate himself to finish strong—no matter how tough (or how many balls ended up in the water) the first half had been.

Grandpa’s wisdom works the same way. It’s not about our initial “fails” as we learn at the beginning of something new, but how we dig in, adjust, and finish with purpose. Whether pursuing a new goal or just having a tough week, there’s always a chance to turn things around and finish strong.

So, if you’re not where you want to be this week, remember—there’s always time to declare your “New Nine” and make the back half your best half!

What’s your “New Nine” this week?
