Cara, I am very grateful for who you are. The questions you ask and the wisdom you share in our coaching sessions have helped me discover who I am and to develop tools specific to me.

One of my favorite Sparks yet! I'm a writer and entrepreneur, still figuring out how to navigate all the questions of people who want an explanation for every life choice. When you take risks, you open yourself to commentary, but you still definitely do not owe anyone an explanation.

Thank you Emily. You are spot on. Do something different and there are loads of questions. Some are genuinely interested. Some are risk takers that get you (like me!) Others just want to poke holes in your choices to feel better about their safe lives.

SO TRUE. It's been helpful to ask people "tell me more about your question" before answering--it clarifies their intent in asking. That last phrase of yours is gold: "feel better about their safe lives"

I so love your morning sparks. I can relate to every single one! I started to read this memoir by Anne Quinlan. I think you’ll really enjoy it. Sense of humor, but also commonality. definitely one of those things you pick up at night as opposed to Audible as you’re doing the house chores. https://a.co/d/9IIN2L5

I am a student of life

I am currently learning how to be an art teacher

And gain a master simultaneously

It’s challenging

People say you might not find you like it

I might not

But I need to finish for me

And I still have a feeling that some part of this journey is what I should be doing

It’s just too soon to say
