The Sunday Scoop

And a fun challenge!

Welcome back to Sunday’s Life Intelligence, free every Sunday 😊

Sitting on the sandspit yesterday, between the sea behind me and the lazy Veleka river in front of me, watching the fish jump and skip on the surface, I realized two things. First, I have no idea why fish jump. Google to the rescue! They do it to avoid predators or to feed on insects, or in the case of salmon, on the way to the nursery upstream. So, adaptive! You mean fish don’t play?  

Second, it occurred to me that the holidays are approaching. It means almost a year has gone by. And what a year it’s been so far. Naturally, I tried to remember what I was doing this time last year. Working, no doubt. Is roaming around jobless better? Did I Feng Shui my life or upended it? Should I be grateful or scared?

That’s when I decided that it was time for deliberate reflection because “The unexamined life is not worth living,” said Socrates. Also, if you want to feel grateful on Thanksgiving, you should figure out what you should actually be thankful for.

Introducing the…

30-Day Journalling Challenge!!!

Grab a notebook, and let's do a deep dive into life. Starting Wednesday, I’ll post a daily prompt for us to reflect and journal about for 30 days! I’ll make a new tab on Life Intelligence to collect all the prompts, so whenever you feel like it, you can re-visit them without searching your emails.

Yes, this will only be sent to paid subscribers. HOWEVER! You can become one for $8/month, and you can cancel your subscription immediately after the challenge is over.

Easy, peasy.

🌺In other news:

I do not exactly feel successful with my YouTube adventure. When this video about Toxic relationships,

started moving, I felt encouraged. I’ve been trying to get better with every video. I’ve been learning the craft, the process, and presentation. But the next one didn’t do as well. And the two videos after just sat there with about 20 views each.

So, yeah, I welcome all feedback. Would you watch Life Intelligence on YouTube? Why or why not? If you did watch, did you learn something you didn’t know before? I’ll open the comments to everyone for this post, not just to paid subscribers, because I want to hear from as many people as possible. You could also email me directly by replying to this post.

The YouTube algorithm has to be the hardest thing to figure out!
