Hey there, my friend! Happy Leap Day!

Isn't it wild that we get an entire extra 24 hours (1440 minutes) tucked into this year?

It feels like such a fun little surprise!

Think of all those times you wished for just a bit more time.

A few more hours to sleep in, catch up on a project, or maybe just relax without a nagging to-do list.

Well, today is your chance!

This Leap Day is an unexpected gift of time.

Maybe you'll do something out of the ordinary: have a midday dance party, bake a cake for no reason, get married, finally read that book that's been collecting dust, or try a new hobby.

I remember getting a “bonus day” about 30 years ago, when some sort of transportation issue caused me to be unexpectedly hanging out by myself for a whole day in someone’s’ apartment in Mexico City without much to do. In the apartment there was a book titled something like, “An Idiot’s Guide to Juggling” that came with 3 juggling balls…So I spent the “bonus day” learning to juggle.

Or, maybe you'll keep it super simple: an extra-long cup of coffee in the morning, or a chance to sit and watch the sunset without feeling rushed.

The beauty of Leap Day is that it's an extra day without expectations.

It's a little pocket of time to reclaim as your own.

So, embrace this bonus day!

Be a little spontaneous, be a little silly, be a little joyful.

After all, how often do we get an extra day to play with?

Have fun! 🙂
