Mapping milestones
Like that Facebook memories thing but way less terrible
Today, take a few minutes to dig back through your calendar and spend some time writing about what what happening in your life a year ago today, or two or five years ago this week, or whatever milestone you want. How are you different now? What, related to whatever was happening then, has evolved to a surprising new place today? Dig in on that and see what emerges for you.
A year ago this morning, I sat in a cafe having coffee and breakfast, writing in my journal about radical changes I wanted to make. I didn’t realize it until later but indeed the first hints of radical change showed up within hours of that, and other change began within days. Sure, sometimes wild, incoming changes are huge but often they don’t arrive with an announcement, nor do they seem like they’re even happening at all, and it’s only when we glance back at certain days we’re able to connect all the dots. But, when we do, I’m never not delighted to see how quickly things unfolded and how one gesture or decision led to another and another.
Friend, let’s write.
