I loved this! I am grateful for curiosity keeping my grandpa still going. Always keeping him tinkering with things and keeping him company. I definitely learned to follow my curiosity because of him. It keeps me creative and helps me discover more and more about myself and others. I love expressing myself and relating to others, but I equally love sitting quietly and holding space to listen to other people share their stories. What a great letter. I especially enjoyed the quotes from Paul Graham. Wow. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing a quick sneak peek into your creative process to post. I’ve been considering starting a blog and posting similar to this as well but I have no idea where to start or what kind of structure I can use to get the ball rolling instead of just rambling. Hahaha.

P.S. Please give those 4 dogs some pets from me (all the way on O'ahu) 😊

Hey Krissy! Thank you so much for reading and this feedback. It's a newer creative experiment I have been trying out :) I definitely look up to my dad and mom who both tinker away at their projects. So glad that the Paul Graham quote resonated too 😁

I'm happy to share more of my creative process. I totally related that it can be easy to get overwhelmed with ideas. What helped me was to start with one and then realize with a long term mindset that each of the ideas will have time in due time to be explored, polished and shared. I have some other resources that I'll email you about that might be fruitful guidance for you.

I'd love to meet up in October when I am back on island :)
