Yum! I’ve practiced a similar trick – when I’m going slightly insane, waiting for other people - I pictured the spark of life in their hearts. Which transforms a horrific traffic jam into a flock of hearts 🥰

Love this, Marika. Made me think of my friend Peter Reynolds and his dots. When a few of us went to work with him in Boston, we started noticing polka dots everywhere. And of course, he is the ultimate dot connector. You should send him this piece!

Oh man, the invisible adulting backpack of stress can get heavy. Thanks for this. :)

Yes. Yes. I'm always carrying both the known upcoming tasks, decisions, and transitions as well as the infinite "known unknowns" weighing me down!
