Slowly emerging from the studyverse and catching up on your sparkling words! This has me wondering who to ask and thinking I may not entirely like the answers 😁 and love the term FRP!!!

1. Full confession each time I read those three letters I sing the old timey song OPP in my head. Do you remember that??

Also, I did this yesterday and you are spot on. I did not love the answers, but dang it was illuminating.

UMMMMM

Just went and got my mail from Friday :-) and probably Thursday.

A woman I know not very well I think maybe met once in person decades ago Had asked for my address because she wanted to send me something.

Just opened something, Shanna, what a message from the universe around the priorities.

Here’s the point :-)

Yesterday, I thought that’s going to leave a mark, but you’re right I’m not doing XYZ

Today I think maybe it’s someone close to us and someone who doesn’t know us that well who can reflect this back.

This gift is a reflection people. We don’t even know are noticing… are noticing.

Love your writing style- thought provoking concept. Not up for that level of self reflection- tonight. But, tomorrow may bring me the courage I need to reflect! Thank you Carla!

Your comment (and you are not alone in this remark!) has sparked me thinking about way(s) we can come together and do the vulnerable work (that courage. it is a LOT for any of us to do this!).

It reminds me of the Lily Tomlin quote “We're all in this together alone.”

Oy! You’re asking us to be very vulnerable!! 😬 I wonder if you’re too front row?! I will chew on this and figure out who I should ask.

I remember years and years ago, reading something and writing about the notion of asking our loved ones:

How could I love you better?

Needless to say that felt the definition of vulnerability and I didn’t ask.

This feels an iteration away from that so I can do it :-)
