2024W18: Making A Living While Making My Life

I have random thoughts to share on a topic, also realizing that I didn’t post last Monday, so here is the Week 18 post of the year, 6 days late…

There’s a saying that we can get so caught up making living that we forget to make a life. I’ve been lucky to have been able to do both at the same time. I’ve been able to live comfortably and had the time and energy to nurture personal relationships that are so fulfilling.

But I sense something novel and electrifying happening this year, as I round the corner into a new decade: I’m engaged in activities that both make my living and imbue my life with such purpose and drive. I didn’t know this was coming, and I feel both wholly unprepared for the new velocity of life and entirely awestruck by the serendipitous arrangement of opportunities before me. I’m standing before life’s all-you-can-eat buffet, I haven’t eaten all day, and I have no idea what tomorrow will bring.

And with that, I bid you adieu until next week’s update comes out, tomorrow.
