Yesterday, I wrote about being crazy. It stemmed from something I posted on Facebook earlier in the day.




Have you ever felt that conventional wisdom and advice doesn’t help you? Do you know there is something your were meant to do, but it doesn’t exist today? Are you questioning if you are crazy for thinking this way? I want to talk with you. You are not alone.

The response was more than I expected. I’m learning not to plan things to be perfect but to take action and do them. So today, I held the first video conversation with those crazy ones who had a shared purpose. I had no agenda, but made sure we all found ways to connect with purpose and trusted the currents to take us where we needed to go. It took us over an hour with a total of 9 people joining. Everyone contributing. Everyone being themselves, not what they thought we wanted them to be. Where is will lead is not known. As long is it benefits those who show up, we will begin to build trust through our shared purpose. We will continue to trust the currents where we should go.

The great thing about being a pioneer, is you are never on the wrong path, because yours is the only path that exists.
