I get it. I’m a busy person too. But recently when I had a very busy day I had the opportunity to meet a friend of a friend. Even though I was busy, I chose to meet him. It was completely worth my time. This speaks to point #4 above. I don’t want to miss my life.

In the hour and a half that Kenton and I met, we enjoyed a vibrant conversation and learned about one another. He shared some information with me about the work he does teaching permaculture and about tiny homes. I shared about the work I do teaching communication skills and leading play-based workshops. We will be in contact again in the future.
