A letter from May 9th, 2017

Dear FutureMe, I deconstructed my life recently and realized I have a dizzying amount of potential when it comes to having a job, and a very full plate with lots of commitment when it comes to love, family, friends, spirit, etc. Again and again, I realize how connected I am to trees and how important that connection is to me. Also, my heroes are women who are kind, vibrant, strong, smart, brave and connected to their community. They remind me how much helping others while still living a big, bright, joy filled life is to me. Actually, my life today is a big garden full of myriad places to work and play, and I'm redesigning it to make it easier to contain the weeds, root out invasives quickly, water more easily, collaborate more frequently, and spend more time just enjoying it. This led me to reconstruct my life to include a broader collection of what really matters to me -- to bravely play with friends and family, to include more co-creation and creatively serve, implementing learning and writing as I do so; to be a healthy, productive, valued, community member, financially compensated for my work as appropriate, and weaving my enchantress aspect of myself into every facet of my life. This is the life I love and I wanted to share it with you. I think I'm on track with my plans, so I hope you are nodding along right now. So much love! Me
