What OS are you using? It’s clickable on my MacBook, but not on my iPhone.

Where is “Happy Thing of the Week”?

I feel grateful to have an avenue for expression, although I wonder if some of my thoughts are too intimate and shouldn’t be share with the world. I love your ideas for retirement. Me too! I also want to cook more creatively, bake, and paint! Let’s look for opportunities for such fun today!

I’ve been thinking about this response since I read it a few days ago. What interesting thoughts! I agree — there are many ways we “short circuit” ourselves because of cultural standards. In addition to belonging, for example, I find myself craving simplicity. Societal life has become increasingly complicated and overwhelming. Depression and anxiety are commonplace. Lots of us feel unspecifically “bad,” but don’t know why or how to fix it. I’m sure you could find like-minded people to live in your pod. Thanks so much for writing!

Thanks, Morgana. I love elephants. Must have been one in a past life.

Just have to say that the “Happy thing of the Week” is a source of joy. Elephants are some of our greatest teachers for “how to do belonging and community, how to play, and how to create a culture of care!” I love this and thank you.
