Hmm. Love this. I got a whole pack of Jacks. Think there’s a picture book in it for us? Pack-o-Jacks. You know—a project for when we’re bored and have nothing to work on… 😂
Deb, thanks! I love it (of course!)! What are some of your Jacks?
Today my Jacks were driving at me about: 1) Not getting enough done, 2) failing at a new recipe, 3) taking too long to write everything (like this) and not progressing with my novel(s); 4) not exercising, and 5) letting it get dark too soon.
Letting it get dark too soon—HaHa! So many of my Jacks boil down to Wasting Time. I just said those last two words aloud as I typed, low and slowly like an old cassette player running out of power. If I didn’t waste time, I could do it all. That’s the belief I need to replace. Oooh, I’m so glad you asked me! I thought I was going to make a list, but Wasting Time would be the title of that list. I love this revelation! Thank you. Now I just have to let the air out of that jack so I can get back in the drivers seat!
I hear you so loud and clear. As if we are “wasting time” when we are gazing at the sunset or sipping our tea or browsing the lovely comments of a fellow creator (yes, you). We can really question what a waste of time is, and if it’s truly even possible. But Jack is all about this!

I really identified with #5. You always have great insights.
I feel lucky we speak the same creative language, my friend! <3
