Thank you. "I commit to doing tasks that are either challenging or crazy or worthwhile-but-temporarily-embarassing."
Yesterday I got audacious and I emailed the author of the books I'm reading right now and proposed we open a dialogue.
As a result of reading your post today, I'm committing to doing more tasks that are challenging/crazy/worthwhile/embarrassing. Keep doing better. i like you.
That's genuinely amazing to hear Teri. Most people feel a force-field of sorts when it comes to contacting people they admire but aren't yet in contact with. Super cool you did that, and here's to us both doing more challenging/crazy/worthwhile/embarrassing things in the future!
Love this. I think you're going to surprise yourself with the results of some of your tasks. Yes, some of it feels unreasonable but trust me...you're the only one who feels that.
I continuously shocked myself as a travel writer who simply asked for ridiculous favors and almost ALWAYS received.
Thanks Kristi - that's the kind of energy I'm trying to embody! Also just read your piece on the Guinness World Record Hula hoop attempt - that attitude of spontaneity feels related to this. Really I suppose the underlying theme is just grabbing opportunities and not being afraid.
I hope to follow in your footsteps - thank you for the restack!

You're very welcome! And thanks for giving me the opportunity to remember how much I used to ask for and receive. 😊
