๐๐๐โฆ making a decision is chef's kiss ๐What the heck took so long???? ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
The world seems to be changing daily.Life as a near empty-nester means life is changing daily.And let me not even get started with what's happening with AI. ๐ค For those who know me, they most likely discovered me on Facebook way back in the day.I was that weird sassy soccer mom raising four girls on my own and making startups into 7 figure machines as a business manager and consultant. ๐ผ
๐'๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ก๐๐ซ but with three adult children, two grandchildren, and the youngest less than two years from adulthood. ๐ง๐ฉ๐ต
And during all that growing we had a pandemic ๐ท, I went through the roller-coaster-of-death known as perimenopause ๐ and nowโฆ you can't open your phone without hearing about the world coming to an end and how ๐๐๐๐ ๐
๐๐๐๐๐๐ you are behind in ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. ๐ฑ๐
I've been aware of itโฆ noticing itโฆ and trying to navigate through the things I cannot control and looking for the levers I could control. ๐ฎ
At the same timeโฆ my spiritual pace has accelerated as wellโฆ out of necessity. ๐
Things were happening that just blew my mind. Heartache in my mom life that I still cannot even understand or explain. ๐
Fortunately, I found ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ as a service missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints working for FamilySearch. I volunteer for 12+ hours a week indexing records and growing the World Family Tree. ๐โ๏ธ
It's crazy because I've been working from home for 24 years, and even my mission is from home. To say I've been fairly isolated for a while is an understatement. ๐
Anyone who's left awesome coworkers to start working from home knows that there are definitely some serious trade-offs to be made when you work from home. ๐ฌ
๐๐ซ๐๐๐-๐จ๐๐๐ฌ.Every decision has them.And they are impossible to fully understand. ๐คฏ
That is where the decision fatigue really starts to take a toll.What is the COST of this decision? ๐ฐ
What often fails to get accounted for is "What is the cost of ๐๐๐ making a decision."
There's the rub.๐๐จ ๐๐๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง. โ๏ธ
And stillโฆ I've been wrestling with so many choices that cost me more for not having made one. ๐ฉ
The decisions I was wrestling with?
- What to share.
- Where to share it.
- Who to share with?
- To what end? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
And I went in circles with all the reasons why this or that thing wasn't right. ๐
Until I rememberedโฆ ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฆ๐๐ค๐๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ "๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ" ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ซ๐ง ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐.

I am WAY too old to take SO LONG to remember this lesson! ๐
That saidโฆ one of the benefits of reading scriptures daily is realizing ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐! ๐
Ohโฆ sometimes the ghetto and twang will creep in from my olden days. NotSorry. ๐
Soโฆ here's what I realized.
๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐. ๐ฆโ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐. ๐ท๏ธโ
I change TOO often ON PURPOSE because I seek to grow every single day. ๐ฑ
Butโฆ Algorithmsโฆ amiright?They like consistency and NICHES and SPECIFICITY andโฆ ๐ค
I just can't be bothered to be that specific right now.
I'm going through things. ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐
๐๐๐๐๐๐.๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐. ๐
What makes them related?It's my life. โค๏ธ

For now. ๐ ๏ธ
I can build AI Systems with the ๐๐๐๐ of them.But the part I care about most is the ๐
๐๐๐๐๐๐. ๐๏ธ
Freedom from fear, anxiety, overwhelm, and oppression.
That's a tall order.But every time these things strikeโฆ ๐ ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฆ. Systematically. Holistically. Just not perfectly. ๐ช

๐๐๐๐ is where I will start sharing first.Written word first. My original method. โ๏ธImages probably. ๐ธVoice memos probably added in next. ๐๏ธVideo possibly in the future but more for walkthroughs because it's not about me โ it's about ๐๐๐. ๐ฅ
I want to show you the things I've learned that have given me ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ง ๐'๐ฏ๐ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐จ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฒ๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ, even as a single mom of four girls. โณ
Now that I know where I'm going to put content, and ๐๐๐ I'll deliver it (written first), we will let life do what life does and teach me lessons about how to evolve from here. ๐
And if you read this farโฆ
I want you to know something.
๐๐๐๐๐ answers questions ๐
๐๐ faster than ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ does. โก๐ง
I love a good strategy, don't get me wrong.But a strategy built along the way will always perform better than one planned for ten years. ๐
And if the thoughts resonated?
๐๐๐. ๐
Crickets really suck the energy out of a girl. ๐ฆ๐จFortunatelyโฆ I know how to grow it back.Whether by you or by sunshineโฆ energy to return tomorrow is just around the corner. โ๏ธ
Hope I see you there. โค๏ธ
