I did a new thing this year.

I taught my first ever live class. It was a 5-week adventure with a lovely group of humans, and we just wrapped yesterday.

Today, I’m feeling grateful it happened + I’m also thinking about the power of doing new things.

Teaching a class wasn’t something I imagined doing before I did it.

It felt too big + wild + nerve-wracking to talk to a group without a script, to hold space for the unexpected, to teach on deep + unwieldy subjects.

But the great thing about being human is that our horizons of possibility shift when we take small steps toward a future we know is right for us but can’t see yet.

It matters that we keep stepping in the general direction of goodness + possibility, even when we can’t imagine what’s waiting for us on the other side.

In these moments of uncertainty + chaos + mystery we’re all in together, I think this matters more than ever..

...Continuing to track with the compass points that keep us grounded + coherent.

...Aligning ourselves with what matters most.

...Staying connected to our dreams.

...Finding ways to keep hope alive.

...Feeling for what continues to call us forward.

Because we still need goodness + possibility + creativity + flourishing. And all of those things are still calling to us, even in the hard moments.

And I hope we all keep listening + responding (as bandwidth allows) to all the ways life continues to call us forward into vision + power + possibility.
