Thank you for the sustaining word food. Hoping you are feeling better very soon; the priority. I am off to go see what to blow off possibly, more often.
Maybe your best line of the year: "We are incarcerated in our shoulds,.." So so good. And as always, you stimulate thinking and get us to see things differently. Always worth the read.
‘Incarcerated by our shoulds.’ Yes!!! Nailed it. We ‘should’ all over ourselves. There’s a real nastiness to the Attention Economy. Letting go is often the most beautiful release. Surrender, as you said.
I’m glad you didn’t blow off writing this one. There are some good words right here. Thank you. ♥️
Thanks for reading, Cindy!

Thanks, Polly! I like the phrase "word food."
I, too, am happy you didn't blow off this newsletter.
Thanks, Corey!
Blowing off the shoulds always gives me a certain “frisson” of guilt and transgression.
"Frisson" is the perfect word for it. It's a dare.

Thanks so much, Ken! I always appreciate your encouraging comments.
