Welcome to Week 20 of the Master Key Experience.

Last week, I showed up here with a heavy heart. I admitted that I had fallen off track, that my habits had slipped, and that the lazy voice had taken over. I shared my struggle openly, not knowing what kind of response it would receive.

This week, something beautiful happened.

I got pulled back up.

The Turning Point

If last week was about the fall, this week is about the rise. And I didn’t do it alone.

This week was an inspiration from my tribe members. They reached out.

There is something magical about being part of a Master Mind. It’s easy to think of it as a group we report to, a place where we stay accountable. But this week, I experienced it as something deeper: a safety net.

When I was too reluctant to reach out, they reached in.

When I didn’t have the words to ask for help, they showed up anyway.

Bouncing Back

And so, after a dull week, I bounced back.

Not perfectly. Not with a grand announcement. Just quietly, steadily, I picked up my habits again.

The morning sit that felt like a chore last week became a homecoming this week. The reading that felt like an obligation became a conversation with an old friend. The creative visualization that had gone silent started playing again like a favorite song.

My confidence didn’t return all at once. It returned one sit at a time. One index card at a time. One small victory at a time.

This week, after the drought of Week 19, the sea returned. It wasn’t just well—it was well well. Abundantly well. Deeply well.

What I Learned This Week

Here’s the truth I’m walking away with from Week 20:

We cannot do this alone. And we were never meant to.

The Master Key Experience is structured the way it is for a reason. The weekly lessons give us the map. The sits give us the compass. But the tribe? The tribe is the fellow travelers who walk beside us when the path gets dark.

They don’t carry us. They walk with us. And somehow, that makes all the difference.

A Message of Gratitude

To my tribe members who reached out this week: thank you.

Thank you for not letting me stay stuck. Thank you for your messages, your encouragement, your example. Thank you for showing me that stumbling is part of the journey, not the end of it.

To anyone reading this who is still in their dull week, still struggling to pick up the habits, still listening to the lazy voice: reach out. Or better yet, just wait. Your tribe is already reaching for you.

The bounce is coming. The sea is returning.

One sit at a time.
