This week I replay a conversation I had back in season one of the JOMOcast with Salimah Yvette Ebrahim. Salimah is the co-founder of Artery.is, which matches performers with hosts of spaces to create unique neighbourhood experiences. She has been profiled by CBC Television as one of 25 Canadians who are changing the world, and declared by Chatelaine magazine one of 80 amazing Canadian women to watch.

This week is an episode from a podcast I love called Freedom Matters. It's a conversation between host Georgie Powell and her guest, Guardian columnist Oliver Burkeman, author of the best-selling “Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Humans.” Oliver talks about making the most of our radically finite lives in a world of impossible demands, relentless distraction and political insanity (and 'productivity techniques' that mainly just make everyone feel busier).

Four Thousand Weeks (the approximate number we each have to live) is really about the power of embracing our limitations – about the difficult but life-giving choices we must make to miss out on some things to make space for what matters most.

Many of us are entering 2022 optimistic but wary. I have felt this weariness in my bones. But you know the good thing about weariness? We must lay down our load and ask for help. We must surrender. And on the other side, we can find a fresh kind of freedom. I can’t think of a better guest to kick off the new year than poet Maggie Smith, author of the runaway success Keep Moving and the new Keep Moving journal. In true poetic fashion, her focus is less on achieving and more on trying. Because all we can ever do is try, right? Try to write a few good lines, try to launch a business, try to love better.

Let’s begin 2022 with a simple commitment: to do more of those things that bring joy. Keep moving.
