Year of Yes

The insides of my brain are a fading photograph, stories and images drifting away to places unknown. Leaving patches of nothingness where a name or an event or a location should be.

I make stuff up all the time

make stuff up all the time.

You must do the things you think you cannot do.

—ELEANOR ROOSEVELT

Because no matter how hard a conversation is, I know that on the other side of that difficult conversation lies peace. Knowledge. An answer is delivered. Character is revealed. Truces are formed. Misunderstandings are resolved.

Freedom lies across the field of the difficult conversation.

And the more difficult the conversation, the greater the freedom.

Meaning, nothing works if you don’t actually decide that you are really and truly ready to do it.

It’s just something we forget.

We could all use a little more love.

A lot more love.

when you become a person with any kind of power, don’t ever become a person who screams. Even in hysterical fear.

Say yes to everything for a year.
