Day 21

We're given great tools to tell stories about the future: write the business plan, make the proposal, write the vows, daydream... 

And, of course, hindsight is 20/20, so stories told by looking in the rearview mirror have a satisfyingly tidy way of coming together. Whether the outcome was "good" or "bad," the pieces just fit together.

So how to tell the story in the middle of it — especially on Day 21, as we transition from 10 days of Dissolve to 10 days of Ignite — this is a question I'm supremely curious about. 

I have no answers, only more questions (this is the indelible mark of not only a naturally curious mind, but 3 years of the Socratic method in law school, a great and terrifying way to truly learn anything!). 

But I thought an action item that might be fun, evocative, and a way to tell the story while in the middle of it is this: 

Write a letter to yourself dated April 9, 2022 (or heck, you pick some other far off date if you'd like). What would you tell yourself about TODAY? 

You can write it longhand, seal it in an envelope, and put it in a place you'll remember to look. Or tuck it away in your inbox drafts (perhaps you can even schedule it to send one year from today). Or if you have a journal you already write in, by all means, place it there. 

LEAVE A COMMENT: Shout it out here, get big cheers from a supportive group, include it in your letter, and complete this sentence: Today, I am proud of …

And a very simple, body-based, 10-minute meditation to root and steady us as we begin this next phase of ignition.

To the middle of things,
Cath
