In my lifetime I've surpassed 100. Some failed but lesson learned. Some lost their newness over time and some things changed me existentially.

Get out into nature....for an hour...a day...or Two....or more...it is very grounding!!

When I feel stuck I explore and let nature be my canvas. I try to live in the Japanese art of forest bathing and leaving technology behind. I'm really glad you started this, I'm actually really inspired to start my own substack and put my words out in the world alongside my random letters to friends.

This is really inspiring me to do this!! I am currently stuck in a rut and need to experience life how I use to before I became a mother! ♡ (obviously i do not regret my baby at all)

Excited to see what you try on this journey! Have you ever been to an escape room? Tried indoor rock climbing? Went axe throwing? Took a cooking class? Visited a sunflower farm? Visited a new city alone and just walked around/ explored with no solid plans in place? Made homemade ice cream? Made candles or went to a make your own perfume store? Joined a book club?

soooo many good ones here!! Adding to the list for sure! Been wanting to do the escape game on a day off on the road! Feels like that would be a blast!

They are a ton of fun! Depending on the city you are in there are tons of different themes. There is one in Yorkville (near Toronto) that is The Chamber of Serpents - it’s Harry Potter themed

I absolutely relate to this feeling of stuck. I find it quite interesting that in my mind I have positioned you as a mover and shaker from following your other posts and your music adventures. You continue to inspire me through your actions and words. They have inspired me to act and move and write myself at times. Even when you are "stuck"...you move others...that is a magical power ma'am.

this means more than I can tell you... doing my best to keep moving but there are a lot of days when that is not an easy thing to do. And by the way you inspire me, too.

Love how you're starting this. I feel what you're going through. We share the same struggles in this dept. Love this list you made up. Great challenges. When i feel stuck i like to sit with my guitar on the porch and just fiddle with it until i feel in a better place. Be strong Tenille! In the words of the character from the Adam Sandler big daddy movie "You can do it"

I love this and you so much! Can't wait to watch you blossom through this journey and try some new things myself along the way. We are all works in progress in our own life journey. I feel like I'm constantly evolving and frankly, sometimes it's exhausting. We are all here to pick eachother up on the wild paths this crazy life gives us. 💛
