Allow me to begin this week’s sexysomethingmore book club post with a bit of context.

It’s December 2019. I have made the decision that I am going to create monthly online courses. I had been paying 99 dollars a month, for months, to use the Teachable app for online course creation. It was time. I had finally started blogging consistently each week (thanks muse), and I was going to use that momentum to create courses that I would eventually sell.

I created themes for each month that I felt resonated with the time of year. I would use the themes to focus the monthly online course content.

This lasted two months. January’s theme of self-care and February’s theme of love became part I and part II of the story I tell. how to make the age of disruption work for you.

I continued to post weekly blogs based on the monthly themes. This pattern became this book something more. connecting to the pulse of a shared humanity.

Notice the date. February 2020.

It is worth a mention that I had no clue as to what was going to happen in March 2020.

For reflection:

1. Can you be open to noticing the experience of love as an energetic state? You can notice.name. the feeling state in mind, heart, belly, muscles, skin. Allow it. Feel it. Just notice it. Witness. Observe the experience. (this language is included in the checkIN: eight steps to more inspiration, creativity, and possibility)
2. Can you consider the feeling state of vulnerability? Start by considering animals, children, elderly. Just notice the feeling state and how you respond inside (thoughts, feelings, sensations, impulses, urges – notice.name.allow.release.)
3. Have you ever had the experience of meeting another person in the space of vulnerability? and because of the circumstances, the depth of that connection is more deep and authentic than with those you spend a lifetime with? Why does this happen?

And now, I give you…Grandma Nance.
