Cheese-It Giveaway! Seat at a dinner party.
Perk of living a Life of Yes℠, I get to continually give away goodness to Cheese-Its. From Samsung phones to LUNA bars to CUSP Conference passes, it’s pretty sweet to be a part of this tribe. And today, on this beautiful Fall Monday, I get to gift a seat at Autumn Living: An Educational Dinner Party ($75 value). If the learning and yummy food weren’t reasons enough to be stoked about this event, your host is the lovely Zach Zube, an all around nice and welcoming guy whom you’ll love, plus the event takes place at one of my favoritest Chicago coffeehouses, up in Lincoln Square.
Check out the logistical details below, as well as a bit more about the class.
To be considered for the VIP ticket, all you have to do is comment below, by Tuesday 5pm, with an example of how you’re living a Life of Yes℠ — a life where you default yes instead of no, where you practice self-care, where you utilize your superpowers (things that come easily and naturally to you) for the benefit of others and of yourself, where you dress yourself in “Why not?” pants, where you chose to move instead of to sit on the sidelines, where you insert yourself in uncomfortable situations knowing that embracing fear can lead to goodness.
I’ll choose one winner and you’ll be off to meeting new people, getting knowledge drops, and having a full belly.
Note: The dinner is vegetarian. Allergy-modifications cannot be made for this event. The winner will be notified via email from Saya and need to confirm within the timeframe given. Please make sure to check the email you have connected to your comment account this week to see if you won!

Before I let fear stop me and now I’m trying new things and meeting new people. From Fear Experiment to skydiving to attempting stand up comedy….I’m saying Yes to life!
An example of my living a Life of Yes took place Saturday when despite the rain, I ventured out to the suburbs with a fellow Cheese-it for an 8 mile race. We walked most of it, were soaked and chilled by the end but still managed to get Mexican food and laugh about if afterwards.
Solo trip to Europe with a toddler? Work with City Hall to change zoning so a taproom can open? Dance with some fire? Cycle Death Valley? Run an architecture and interior design firm? Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes! If it scares me, I take it on headfirst (Fear Experiment: Storytelling has to happen soon….) Despite plenty of setbacks, stalls and adjustments, I’m happy to declare that life is all an experiment and it’s a fun one at that.
I’m living a life of yes, by saying yes to living in the moment and attempting to give my full attention to whatever task is in front of me. Instead of rushing through work, or tuning out during a boring meeting, or checking emails while I am on the phone, I have been intentionally focusing on what I am doing in the moment, also trying to check in from time to time on how I am feeling. I have noticed overall I am happier, and my days feel fuller!
Yes!
I’ve been great at saying yes when it come to “doing things” – moving to chicago a week after making the decision, selling all my things and living in Europe for 2 years. As a lone wolf, my life of yes is focusing on learning how to be vulnerable
With others, building community and saying yes to making our world joyful and peaceful for myself and others
I’m less likely to stay in a situation that I’m not happy in. I feel like I’m more proactive about making a game plan to change my life and actually making it happen. Sometimes when I’m on the fence I feel like the phrase “life of yes” helps me to take risks that I might not have taken before.
Recently I had the pleasure of being back in Indian for a friends wedding. As I continue to explore I am finding one of the best ways to see a city is on the back of a motorcycle. With fellow FE-er (Annie) we took off on a spontaneous motorcycle trek to the beaches of Northern Goa. Thankfully the boys were both brilliant drivers. A few days later I was hiking through the Cloud forests of Sri Lanka and the opportunity arose to go zipping around the area on motorcycle the next day. Again, I was blown away by the sites… Read more »
I’m living a Life of Yes but learning to say NO. NO to anything that does not have an impact. NO to offers that do not allow me to grow and thrive. NO to the things that do not align with my value set. NO to fear, false constructs, and self-imposed limitations. Saying NO means I have room to say YES to so much more. YES to being wholly present in my life. YES to new projects and partnerships. YES to adventure. YES to global social enterprise development. YES to creating communities at home and abroad. YES to sleeping in… Read more »
YES!
Living a Life of Yes by signing up for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) with a goal of writing 50,000 words by the end of November, signing up for a comedy class that I thought was Improv but finding out it’s stand up days before the 1st class with a performance at the end of the month, being the other cheese-it that walked 6 of the 8 miles in the 100% chance of rain, and taking the chance of moving to a different city two years ago, jobless, for love that did not work out but loving all the growth… Read more »
Not letting the a number of my age dictate the attitude of my age. Focusing on finding what makes me smile bigger, laugh harder and love sincerely.
Last week I went to a luncheon for the Assembly of Catholic Professionals because I was invited. It wasn’t in my typical routine but Bodhi’s moving next fall and I’m on a hunt for our new building!! Sure I’ll go to an Archdiocese luncheon…they are the largest real estate holder in Chicago.
