Meghan - what a great quote about our life as a series of connected dots! I've only come to that realisation a little while ago (and I'm 68!), good that you gained that insight much earlier. Indeed, I haven't had any major discoveries/events in my life, at least not in my own view. I tend to feel that I've stumbled into one situationand clambering out of the previous one. Lots of luck involved. And so I see my life (so far) as a series of episodes... If I ever get to write up my life experiences into a book, it will probably be a collection of short stories. Mostly funny, I guess. And for you: Please keep finding new and fun "dots" to connect into your life! And please keep telling us about them.

This was exactly what I needed to read - it really resonated. Thank you. I have spent the past couple of years working to create more white space and need reminders periodically that my worth isn't defined by how long my to-do list is and how much I produce!
