We spend so much of our time chasing big goals, big breakthroughs, and big answers—but what if some of the most meaningful moments in life are often small and actually measured in seconds? In this episode, I share stories from my recent trip to Round Top, Texas, where wandering through antique barns, tents, and dinners became a powerful lesson in human connection and power of micro-moments. From a simple compliment to a curious question, and even a table for two (that started with just me), I was reminded what anticipating and creating moments can do to shape our lives and the lives around us.  You’ll hear about: The power of offering a small invitation and seeing how one brave act can completely transform someone’s evening (and your own). Waiting to be noticed vs. noticing others - this perspective changes everything!  How we often find the encouragement and clarity we didn't even know we needed by five seconds of courage. How to be "micro-moment" creator.  This episode is a reminder that you don’t need the perfect words, the right group, outfit, or a grand gesture to make a difference. Tiny, intentional micro-moments—smiles, compliments, gestures of presence—can create belonging, connection, and lasting impact. “One compliment can echo for decades. One question can unlock someone’s dream. One invitation can rewrite someone’s story."
