i find that whenever i do a coin flip, i always know the answer i want when it's mid-air, which is incredibly clarifying!!

Isn't it amazing?! I love that I can feel on the fence about something but then if I flip that coin it can be instantly clear which way I want it to go. Sometimes, not always, but it's a good trick!

Love the coin flip idea! I’m gonna try that next time I’m in a pickle. The most pivotal moment for me was when I was getting divorced in 2019 and moved to Amsterdam (sort of on a whim with no real plan). It changed my life, for the best!

Yeah I can imagine! 2019 was a big year for us both! I'm sad we never got to meet in 2017/18 when I was living in Amsterdam though 😢 but yes, sometimes those without plans on the whim moments can be the best thing. Especially without our thinking minds jumping too many steps ahead and ruining the magic with all the boring logistics 😂

Fluidity vs. stability is one of the hard ones. But, as you say so well, it’s not an either/or, it’s a both/and.

It sure is. But honestly, when you put it like that it kind of reminds me of how sand can move like water and yet be solid when it needs to be, too. All to often we seem to see all these things as either/or, but the beauty is in seeing how multiple things can be true at once!

Thanks Kay! Haha, the big dream is to get a sailboat and cruise around the South Pacific with the cat, but we'll see what happens between now and then!!!

Speaking of stories that inspire, I watched a 30 minute episode of Australian Stories on ABC iView about Gina Chick.https://iview.abc.net.au/show/australian-story/series/2023/video/NC2302Q019S00
