OMG! Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting names to what I started doing this year, which is having a payoff: I'm getting further on things that matter, feeling less guilty/behind/inadequate, and having more energy and hope that things will be different by the end of the year. Without knowing it, I created a home/nest for my energy, intentions, and dreams for this year--a piece of paper that has a is a one-phrase motto/title--DO things differently--and a small growing list of things I am doing differently or want to do differently. I didn't know what the piece of paper/list was named (you gave it: it's my nest/home) or what was contained in it (you named those). I did not want to call them Goals or Aspirations (because I don't make progress on things when I call them that)....

I'm so glad this gave you a name and affirmation for your process and tensions, Nelia! Thanks for letting me knot it landed for you.
I could see her tense up when I asked the question. The second I saw her tense up, I already knew how the conversation would play out.
“You know, K asked me that same question. I’ll tell you the same thing I told her.”
She smiled and raised up her hand and made a zero with her fingers.
