"The antidote to most of life’s woes is to enter into the spirit of creativity." Amen to this. I think we need to hammer that. I don't hear it enough. Had to find that motto myself. Would help everybody.

Although you call yourself “untethered” you certainly seem to be grounded in wisdom and humor. I always wonder what your actual speaking voice sounds like because your soul voice always comes through. Thanks for being you.

Alex, you amaze. This would be a week-long seminar or even a semester-long college course from someone else. But you are signed, sealed and delivered in less than 600 words. A focused writer is a winning writer. Take a bow, sir!

“If you’re self conscious focus on others”. Absolutely! This is why volunteer work and giving a helping hand creates flow and makes you realize how fortunate you truly are. Focus externally and the internal seems to fix itself without all that deep self reflection. Always spot on Alex. Keep up the great work.
