Ep. 63 - "...more is more and less is less and there's bliss to be had when size no longer matters."
It’s been a month which has felt like a moment since a share was shared here, this is what happens when one does as they say aloud, which means this little living human is loving the lightness of living lightly. Here I share a few random knowings now know and a bit of bliss born in moments many don’t know to be in yet. Enjoy. This is a public episode.

Ep. 62 - "...moving from a 'word of the year' to 'a priority' is paying off."
In this conversation I share a little of a look back on last year’s agreed priorities and how they continue to influence, inform, and inspire our ways and days. Now, with the experience that’s packed with example on example that focusing on a priority leads to the most wondrous outcomes, I show how we’ve focused our focus again this year on a shared priority and I can also share a couple of individual priorities that may inspire you to pick yours for the year from here.

Ep. 61 - "...maybe this time next year it will be so normal you won't notice."
This conversation is a moment following a morning moment that is so normal it goes without notice. To keep it short, there are two parts, the first part of the convo talks to the idea of what we know is coming the day after Christmas, where we look ahead to next year. And, the second part talks to our most recent convo of gifting for the anti-gifters, specifically, how I found a gift that I can enjoy now and will be picked up and played with across the year ahead. Now knowing it’s a thing, I am already excited to know I will be getting the same gift next year! Remembering that everything shared here has everything to do with me (for me) and nothing to do with me (because it’s about you). Enjoy. This is a public episode.

Ep. 60 - "...seriously, no gifts please."
There’s that moment that many of us feel like we’re invisible. The moments where many mean well but don’t really realise some of us are losing it our šŸ’© inside...Here I share a shared experience of not how to handle this moment, but just a conversation...

Ep. 59 - "...a new sense of growing in one's knowing is so much more fun than growing up."
In this conversation I share with you an example of what it is for one human to grow into one’s own a little more than before. The benefits uttered aloud are greater than what has been shared here, and yet what has been shared may be more than enough to inspire, spark, or light a fire under your human backside to grow to own your now sense of self and where you can grow from here.

Ep. 58 - "...the idea of living lightly has opened up the space and place in ways I didn't see coming, until now."
You’re most welcome with the warmest of welcomes to walk among and amidst these wondering words that have a little wild that lingers as they feel the new feels of light in their days and ways. šŸ˜…Correcting and incorrect in this conversation in that I know I sat that an adverb modifies a verb or noun, this is not totally true. An adverb can modify a verb, adjective, or other adverbs. Done, now that’s totally true for you.šŸ˜šŸ”— Lazy links from The Line that influenced, informed, and inspired parts of this conversation:* Lightly* Light* WhiteI didn’t include the idea of white partly played part of this ponder, instead I think this has may be a better fit for a coming conversation in connection one way of thinking that supports and sucks us when when we don’t know to look for it.

Ep. 57 - "...it's my favourite wording way that opens up..."
If you’re a human that has experiences where your humans asks for more on some days that feel like they’re forever getting in the way, then this working way may work for you. When it lands true for you too you can feel confident and comfy to pull it front of mind for long enough to do what it does and grow to know it then loves to fall away from the front to open up the space for you to do what you can do today.

Ep. 56 - "...knowing when others are asking to use my weird without asking is moving the ball back into my court...and it's kinda fun."
You’re most welcome to lean a little of your curiosity into a quick convo about how others can come in hot and want a little of our weird without asking. This is a light look at a light moment shared among real-humans in real-time. If this is you too then you may find parts that ring true for you and maybe a little something you can do. Whatever you choose, remember, take that which is only yours and leave the rest. K. This is a public episode.

Ep. 54 - "...we don't need to take the real-life superpowers of others, knowing they're really real is more than enough."
You’re welcome and warmly waved over to jump in and listen to a twisty and, at times, tangled conversation of many pondering ponders that were pointless until they weren’t. From talking to assuming extinction is inevitable (which it’s not), to realising why I was always going to be drawn to my favourite human (which was totally actually really new to me in this moment).The point and purpose of sharing this cluttered coming together of many thinking thoughts is to share a way a mind can work that is unremarkable to me and is more normal to most that’s not often shared aloud. This conversation is shared to inspire your conversations with yourself and your humans in real life to pick up and play out ponderings that too are pointless until they aren’t.Remember, hold it lightly and only take the knowing and love the feeling of leaving the living creature to live a living life.KJust in case you are curious, to hear how my thinking thoughts usually sound when I’m thinking it, you could do like me and speed it up, some days it’s x1.5 up to x2 playback speed, on average, x1.25 is an easy intake of enough 🦦Sources that gave enough to inform, influence, and inspire these ponders…Etymologies:* Superpower* PleaseDefinitions:* Super* Power* Pleasure* Please* HedonismList:* Superpower Types This is a public episode.
