I recently lost a friend and colleague that was so good about prioritizing family and friends as well as being so good at celebrating wins along the way. I find myself reflecting back on one of my favorite stories....

The most undervalued skill of our time is the ability to write.
In an analog world, talking was the main currency of communication and connection. In a digital world, there's a growing premium on the capacity to convey thoughts in text.
The pen is mightier than the spoken word.

@KCIAirport there’s only two stalls in Women’s restroom in Term B, near Gate 39. And one of the doors is missing making an already rough situation of too few restrooms more difficult. The new terminal is still a long way from being open—please replace soon! Like really soon!
“Moments of compassion, giving, grief, and wonder shift our behavior, get inside us and change realms we might not have agreed to have changed.” ~@ANNELAMOTT
My best writing advice: Stop not writing. No one cares if you write or not, so you’d better. Sit down at desk and keep your butt in the chair. Write one passage, conversation, and let yourself do it badly. Finish (!) this one shitty first draft. Victory! Reward yourself w/candy!
As soon as I become irretrievably rich, I am going to have someone change the sheets on my bed every single day. Clean sheets are mood-altering. You slip into them, and feel like you’re the filling in an ethereal sandwich.
“Wonderfully, there is not enough memory to keep track of every old grievance. This is the grace of age. So one forgives as one is able, except for maybe those two or three special contenders and oneself.” ~@ANNELAMOTT
How to write:
Stop not writing.
Choose one short scene, memory, passage, vision.
Write it badly—the best you can is fine.
Make it a bit better—take out some details, descriptions, adjectives, most of the lies. Add colors.
Write another short piece, the best you can.
VICTORY!
