The Meaning We Make – Connect to Your Purpose

Our lives are shaped by the meaning we give to them. The Meaning We Make is about slowing down and asking the deeper questions: What truly matters? What are you building your life around?

This space offers reflections and practices to help you discover your unique purpose and align your daily life with it. When we live with intention, even ordinary moments become part of something bigger, richer, and more fulfilling.

In her beautiful Super Soul Sunday talk, Elizabeth Gilbert reminds us that while some people are jackhammers—clear, focused, digging deep in one direction—others are hummingbirds. Hummingbirds move from flower to flower, following curiosity, cross-pollinating the world with beauty, insight, and surprise.

If you’ve ever felt pulled in different directions, or worried that you’re too scattered to find your calling, maybe you’re not lost. Maybe you’re a hummingbird. I spent years searching for “the one thing” I was supposed to do with my life—desperate to land on a single purpose that would make everything else make sense. But when I heard Liz speak, something shifted. Slowly, I started to see my varied passions not as detours or failures, but as threads in a bigger design.

And maybe that’s true for you too. Maybe your path isn’t meant to stay inside the lines. Maybe your magic comes from how you explore, connect, and transform along the way.

If that’s you, you’re not alone. Let’s be hummingbirds together.
