A young friend of mine was trying to find a direction. It was 2020, so truth be told, we were all trying to find a direction. She kept trying various activities, and then she stumbled into an art class over Zoom.
Why not? She thought it would just be something to do. We were all looking for things to do in the During Times.
But it absolutely stuck. She had stumbled upon a great passion. When she showed up on a Zoom screen, she had no idea she was initiating a major life direction. She’s been making art ever since, and her work has been featured in shows and sold in galleries. In fact, one of her paintings hangs in my dining room. It turns out that a room in my house is also connected to a particular Zoom class she just decided to try.
But isn’t life like that sometimes?
We keep showing up, trying things, throwing pieces of spaghetti at the wall, and eventually some of them stick. In fact, they can open up worlds—possibilities, roles, relationships, growth.
So if you’re feeling stuck, keep trying. Keep showing up.

I thought I’d found my direction, but what the world wants from me and I what I wanted to give the world rarely matched up.
