Imagine you are eighty, sitting in a rocking chair and reflecting back on your years. What would you have done more or less of? What advice would you give yourself today?
My 80-year-old self lives to tell stories -- the more outrageous the better, she'll do anything for a laugh. In fact, I think about things in terms of "will this make a good story when I'm eighty?" The story-quality barometer helps me check that I'm living a colourful and creative life. In 2016, when this journey began, my inner 80-year-old had been urging me to go on adventure. She said that I had become a bit boring and she's complaining about having to repeat the same stories. So at THNK Pitch Night in June, I pitched the idea of going on a soul sabbatical and year-of-learning. Curious? Read more about the why of it all here.
