What if you are trying to share the spells you’ve found with others, but they are so simple, so obvious, so commonsense, that it feels like surely everyone knows this already and they must just have their own reasons for not doing it themselves? So you doubt the value of what you are offering, but you keep offering it anyway, because the little candle *can’t* know how far it “throws its beam, like a good deed in a naughty world”….
I hesitate to call what I teach ‘solutions’ because one of the things I learned early is that context is critical, but I do think I help people use better approaches to finding their own solutions, and that’s a kind of magic too. But one that doesn’t work the way most people (especially funders) seem to think it should. It’s certainly not very flashy or predictable, though in the end it’s more ethical and practical. But the doubt does creep in when people fundamentally don’t seem to understand what I’m trying to do, so thank you for sharing and making it feel less lonely!

Sublime. 😉
I'm gonna be pissed if it turns out I just needed to accept the power of Christmas into my heart to cure my depression.
More seriously, this is really important. And I'm already on my way.
Show, don't tell, is what you just did. Sublime to see this part of you, man!
