I'm so sorry for your and Clem's loss Cristy 💚

Thank you for sharing this question. “What is your dream around this?” Such a powerful question where we have to bring nothing buy honesty to the answer.

I'm glad you ignored the uncalled for advice that you can't make money writing. (Here, hold my cacao latte).

I love this question and it's oh so true: Just watch someone’s demeanor and body language change when they get to talk about this question. You didn't even ask me the question and my whole body felt it:) We all really do need people in our lives who will hold our dreams with. People who will hold them lightly but not take them lightly. Who are there to give us a gently nudge or knowing smirk when we underestimate ourselves. I'm so glad you have found your people - well, even more of your people. And that you are keeping your dream alive. As you said, "I truly believe that when we do work that lights us up, the whole world benefits." Imagine a world where people even spent 10 hours a week doing what they LOVE! Thank you also for the shout out. I appreciate you:) XO

Goodness you're right! Even when I do 1-2 hours a day of work I love, the whole trajectory of my day changes. I just want to blast the "standard" work week to make it more sustainable for us all and cap the usual FT expectation. For many us who work intensely, TOO many hours is not good for us. ;-)
