Especially On Tuesday

Everything I share is not for show, which means the words will be light has I continue to navigate this moment in real life in real time. You’re most welcome to listen to how I have shapes my experience with prolonged melancholy to be one that borders on being enjoyable.

In line with my personal values, this experience has grown, and continues to grow from my need and value of knowing I have a choice in my experience of my experiences — this is just one experience I have chosen to share aloud with you today.

This passing moment has been shared with the purpose to illustrate one human’s experience in this very normal human experience, and shared with the hope that there is something in the way I have worked with my own words together with how I have worded with you in mind to inspire a sense of evolving your own experience.

Yup, that’s it. All done when no one was lookin’.

You’re most welcome to listen lightly to the idea of inviting a conversation about a conversation not yet conversationed aloud by asking a simple question. So often, almost often, we can walk away from conversations wondering what was not said aloud. You know the kinda conversations where there is the unspoken wanting to be welcomed into the room and yet it can feel a little forced and or weird just to call it out directly.

If you’ve had one or more of these conversations, then this conversations about conversation may be a handy knowing to know and have within arms reach in your ways and days.

Personally and professionally I have pulled a version of this question out over the last week and it has worked wonders in the most wonderful of ways. Some conversations were meaning-fill and some where just for fun — all the conversations were worthy and worth their weight in gold.

Until when, please lightly listen and only take the part that stands out to you with you. Then it’s yours to do as only you can do from here.

You’re most welcome to warm up to the idea with me that that we continue to leak in old ways into our ways and days through the littlest parts of our language languaged out loud.

This conversation is for the thinkers who love thinking. This conversation is for those who want a little deliberate ambiguity out loud. This conversation is for those who want a sense of choice where other would say there is none.

Here is a calamity, chaotic, and coming together of so many conversations that haven’t been conversed out loud yet. I know, you may be saying, ‘Ahhh, Kathy, isn’t that every conversation here?’ and you’d be right.

To get us started talking about topical talking I invite us to get above the conversations, the experience, the parts that may feel too personal and instead share a little insight into part of my process of creating choice in my ways and days in deciding what experience to experience and how we can bring front of mind the value to be added, or not, leading us to a place and space to support a sense of (and actual) choice.

Soz, you’re welcome 😅

You’re most welcome to walk among these words doing as they have done. As this one human continues to peel back the layers of complexity in our days and our ways, there is a growing knowing in choices being unconsciously silenced aloud.

From this conversation I found a connection of one experience I am navigating, namely the over eager insertion of ai into my everyday experience.

This conversation is neither for nor against, it’s about looking at the purpose and how it’s too easy to miss the point. It’s that growing sense of the fast pace set long before now leading us away from the best pace for our human-ing experience.

This convo is a ponder in progress with only parts of clarity clearly communicated as it becomes clear — soz and you’re welcome.

Anyhooo, thanks for playing your part and talking with me, as connecting with the legacy of the Luddites, I’m now seeing a new view on shaping my relationship with technology from today.

You’re invited to take that which is only yours and leave the rest.

You’re welcome to walk among these words with me. It’s funny this conversation came out of no where. It’s this kind of conversation that brings front of mind that we always have a thinking thought, meaning being made, and sense drawing in data through our senses.Growing from the knowing of the ‘in-between’ lens, in this conversation we walk with wonder in what is important and importance in our days and our ways. Continuing to peel back the layers of expectations of what we think we need to do while loving ourselves silly in the ever so small steps stepping us closer to what we choose to among those needing needs.

This conversation is 100% human, 100% unscripted, 100% growing in the knowing together as the wonder is worded aloud.

As always, the choice is only ever yours to do as you do, but for this place and space, please take that which is yours and go ahead and leave the rest.

Hello Wonder-Filled Human 👋

This one’s a curious one. It feels like it is what it needs to be for now. And, it feels like there is more to grow in what we know from it. Across this conversation, I look to where we'‘re going…

…and immediately take a sharp left.

Coming back (thanks to trusting tethers of my notes keeping the promised topic front of mind), I walk us back to the idea of the idea of our responsibility of our own happiness and look at little at the real-world costs of actually being happy in our ways and days.

It’s funny, while I mention a real-world human-ing experience of peeling back the excess, the too much, and the ‘wtf?!s’ the costs continue to mount in expected and unforeseen ways.

Here I share a little of a couple of thoughts thinking while in the wild with the words of others and how I clicked, collected, and connected them into what I was making sense of in my human-ing in progress.

It’s an easy listen, one that isn’t there for every word to be heard. By just listening to the cadence, the coarseness, or the curious shifting shifts across the topics is more than enough for this one.

Now with those words doing as they are doing, it’s now up to you lean in, listen, and learn what you will click, collect, and connect to that which is yours today and enjoy the growing knowing in leaving the rest.

To share a share in real life in real time in the moment before it moves on to being more, I share a sense of how I have reformed, transformed, and formed a new experience post people-ing in public. For me, guilt is crippling (both with and without just reason).

Here I share a share as close as I could to the really real moments that followed my recent efforts to human in the world with others.

Growing with what I’m knowing now, I can already see how each experience can be easier and enjoyabler. I can already see how (with my evidence now) that the suck and the suffer is getting shorter and shorter. I already feel almost wholly human in less than 48 hours, which would have been unheard of for 2024 Kathys.

It’s moments made into experiences like these that really are adding up to have this one human believing our experience of our experience really can be our own through the words we’re actually using.

Than you for you, the you that only you can do.

You’re welcome to join me among these wondering words which have so much meaning mashed into them that they are more meandering than getting where they were always going.

Here in this conversation I share the sense of what it can be to make sense from moments of mess to realising we already know what we need and once we decided we are going to meet that need then it’s up to us to get on getting on.

To many this conversation may to confuse, but I’m guessing, believing, and trusting this isn’t you. In this small growing space on the world wide web that connects us, there are some of you that pop a shared ponder in progress in each week — This means you get it.

You get that there is more to this than the words.

You get that this is coming together to being something bigger for something bigger.

You get that thinking out loud is born from a single question, makes it way through a mass and mess of the middle, and lands with a new knowing.

Knowings really add the value when they are backed with our behaviours. So, as we do here, it’s time to walk the talk. So, I’m off to eat good food, print my notes, and slip in a sneaky afternoon nap to be a fully functioning human tomorrow.

Talk soon,

K.

P.S. There’s every chance my vulnerable vulnerability will get the better of me and this conversation will self destruct before the day’s out 🤭

You're welcome to lean in and listen as you work to learn a little about something I've found that's working in doing "The Work" that's actually working in one human's ways and days.

Until when, remember to take that which is only yours and leave the rest.

Oh, walking among one's words in real-life in real-time is a wondrous wonder even onto itself. In this conversation, we took a turn from shaping the dimensions of our physical space to working with the wave of feels that comes with being back in the space and place of an old decided decisions and how we can level our experience from the present. As with each conversation, no script, no outlines, no glasses, just a human with a mic sitting in a small room looking at a big sky and wondering many whys.

Please listen on your light listening setting and only that that which is yours and leave the rest.
