Hey. So I just got randomly inspired   to do this   what might be a minisode. I don't even I don't even know that it'll be a full episode,   but a friend just reached out to me about a walk in NYC   that happens in the month of May. And as I'm recording this, we are in the April.   And,   it looks like a really good time, and   I said to her that I'm not prepared to do it this year,   but   I want to pencil it in on my calendar   to attempt to be prepared to do it next year. And she mentioned that, yes, she has been wanting to do it,   for the past couple of years and hasn't gotten around to it, and so that she would also be up for us trying to make it an official thing.  

And the reason for me sharing this is that it inspired me to think, like, this is you know, put something on your calendar that's a year from now.   I think a lot of people   are very hesitant to plan too far out into the future. I'm not one of those people. As anyone who knows me will tell you,   my birthday is in June. In January, I start letting people know what my thoughts and ideas are for my birthday,   unsolicited.   And   thank goodness they're my friends, and they put up with me.   But   planning things out   into the future,   to me, is like a sign and symbol of hope. I mean, a lot of people have the perspective of they don't want to jinx it, all those sort of things, which now granted, when you're on your LOA game heavy, then that's not a thing.  

But   just as a person, I've always been part of it is that I am a planner and like to organize things. That is just part of my personality.   But, also,   from an energetic perspective,   it has to do with this idea of   being hopeful for the future, being hopeful that I will be alive and able to do the thing. So, obviously, something that is kind of always, and I put that in quotes, always a year,   in the future is, like, your birthday each year from one birthday to another. So that's a great one to kind of pinpoint and say, hey. I'd like to do this on my birthday next year or for my birthday next year, or I'd like to accomplish this by next year or my birthday, things like that. So,   just this   little scenario that I just described about the walk   really inspired me to to just kind of make note of this idea of, like, the value   and the power   in planning something out a a year from now.  

I'm excited   at the fact that I have this tentative   plan with my friend to do this fun walk. Maybe we don't do it. Maybe our plans change along the way. It's a year from now. But we penciled it on our calendars so that we can check-in with one another as the year goes on and say, hey. Are we still up for this? What do we need to do to prepare for it? And we really have something to look forward to. And it's gonna be really exciting if we do it at the time to look back to now when we   tentatively planned it. So this is just my little, like,   moment of   popping in to say, find something to plan   a year from now. A trip, a vacation, something around your birthday,   some,   activity you want to try,   something that you've always said you were going to do or wanted to do, and at least just pencil it in. There is no harm.  

And, actually, there can be a lot of good   in literally just writing something down in a calendar   and putting it into your electronic calendar,   you know, putting the thing there as if it's going to happen so that as time goes on, you can look at and say, oh, yeah. I'm gonna do that. Or, oh, yeah. I really want to do that. Or do I still want to do that? Have things changed in my life or about me that make that something   that I'm no longer interested in? But   put something on your calendar   that you are excited to do   a year from now.
