"There is another way." I love this simple thought that can lead to possibilities when I'm feeling stuck. Loved this.

Oh! I just wrote the diluted focus, diluted results quote and added it to those that surround my desk.

As someone who has often lived outside the box (currently in a van called Ruby), I’m looking forward to checking out your work, Chris. Thank you, Jane, for sharing another great writer and thinker.

I'm so happy that resonated with you, Holly. And I love that you've named your van! I always name my cars. The one I have now is Juniper!

It is curious , the more I love a book - fiction, the less likely I am to reread. It is as if when I ma deeply engaged or immersed it becomes woven into the fabric of my being - and although re-reading is likely to bring new insights - I fear losing the magic of that moment.

I can understand that! I used to reread a lot. Now I never have time!
