Envisioning Possibilities
WISDOM
Wisdom and Big Wind Day share a common thread: they both make you go, “Whoa!” Wisdom is like that sage advice from your grandma that always seems to hit the nail on the head. It’s the culmination of life’s lessons, wrapped up in a neat package of insight and understanding. And then there’s Big Wind Day, a celebration of meteorologists who nailed a forecast predicting a major gust. It’s like Mother Nature saying, “Hold onto your hats, folks!” So, whether it’s the wisdom of knowing when to bring an umbrella or the excitement of watching trees do the tango on Big Wind Day, both remind us that knowledge is power – and sometimes, it’s just plain cool.
Cats are always full of wisdom for the most part quietly observing their surroundings. This windy cat made me laugh out loud. Nothing was going to move him/her. Standing or sitting her ground no matter what. Image by Thomas G of Pixabay

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
loved that pic of the windy cat – made me smile too.. and this post is simple yet profound wisdom
I love the reminder of a windy day, not that we have too many here, but we did recently. Just standing outside, with the wind in my face, was magic.
