Envisioning Possibilities
Relationships with Friends
Building and nurturing friendships is like tending to a garden – it takes some care and a lot of heart. Start by planting the seeds of connection through shared interests and inside jokes. Water them with laughter and good times, and watch your bond grow stronger. Cultivate trust by being there when they need a listening ear or a partner in crime. Sprinkle in some spontaneity with surprise hangouts or adventures. Don’t forget to weed out misunderstandings with open communication and understanding. And just like a garden, friendships need regular attention; so, make time to catch up, reminisce, or simply chill together. With a little sunshine of positivity and a sprinkle of kindness, you’ll have a flourishing garden of friendship in no time.

Starting Again 2024
Happy New Year.
Question of the year 2024 – from 2023. What’s working for you?
I’m a list maker, so I’ll begin.
Working for me # 1 – Sleep Habit
I end every day writing a list, surprise, right? I write not just thinking about – it’s easy to go to bed and think oh, that went well or that was good. But writing it down and, in some cases, noting how that happened? When I write how I made that happen, I’m surprised to learn that I planted a seed a few days, weeks, or months ago, and the outcome started growing. The result is incredible, and I am grateful. The acknowledgment of that outcome is in my writing at night.
I write the three things I’m grateful for during the day. The results are fascinating.
1. Most importantly, I get a good night’s sleep. I haven’t stuffed my mind with useless trivia or negative thinking.
2. It helps me reflect on the things or circumstances I created to support that good part of the day and how I can repeat them.
Working for me #2 – Website Building
I am learning how to build my website again. Paul taught me in 2010 to develop my website from scratch. It served me well for many years. The new one is one in WordPress but with Elegant Themes and DIVI. I love it! I love working on it and figuring out the puzzle. Yes, it would be faster and easier if I hired someone to do that for me. But I’m not in a rush, and yet I am in a hurry. The joy of working on it outweighs the time it takes.
1. Learning Divi
2. Researching the best templates and methods of communication
Working for me #3 – Envisioning Possibilities
I have chosen a new set of words to define the purpose-driven vision workshop I’ve been doing for years. Although, many people find the terms interesting and exciting to follow, I was bored with the words.
I believe the concept is strong and still stands, but PDVB? Even the acronym looked stoggy.
Advanta Strategies is over 20 years old and it is my main business, this year I added a spark to it.
1. I purchased a new URL
2. Using Divi – created a website for people to sign up. www.envisioningpossibilities.com
I love how you compared friendships to a garden!
Linda, you have some great quotes and lyrical writing. Keep writing!
Thank you.
I love this post! Friendships are so important. And you’re right, they need to be watered in all of those ways.
