Navigate to your best life
I spent this last week visiting old friends in my home town of San Diego, CA. I am lucky to have grown up in a lovely warm place, but the trip was less about sun and more about chosen family.
Each person I visited has known me for decades. My oldest friend and I shared a 40 year anniversary this week.
Some of my community only recently started their own families, while others are at a point that their kids are moving into college and careers and adulthood.
There were multiple heart-opening family events this week.
I am proud to share that this month, I accomplished a goal of a tarot lesson that combines movie archetypes and tarot.
It took me over 30 hours to create in many sessions where I had to choose to sit down and write, then edit, then prep tech tools and lights, then film, find clips, then edit, then edit, then edit some more.
When we stay vigilant on a long-term, self-motivated goal, it can be very disconcerting and even physically uncomfortable at first.
Over time, our brain gets the “real dopamine” of meaningful accomplishments, and final completion gives us a deeply satisfying continual flow.
