Have you heard of something called “ecosystem services”? I looked it up after listening to a podcast episode recently in which the man being interviewed, Jeremy Lent, was talking about how dangerous this concept has become.

A practice that has really enlivened my work is to attempt to tap into what is happening for my community (if you’re reading this, that’s you) on a collective level. Too often, our personal development strategies are created in isolation when actually, many of us are experiencing and working toward similar visions of a brighter future.
So when I sat down to compose this missive, I wondered, “what are we all experiencing right now?” And, “What are we collectively working toward?”

The first Equinox of the year is just a week away, and soon we will be in Spring’s effervescent, bubbly midst. Colors will delight our eyes, the air will warm around us, and we’ll be witness to the Earth’s fertility.

This morning I did this same little ritual, but I knew what card was coming before I even pulled it. It’s the card that has appeared and reappeared an uncanny number of times over the past few months, and it’s what wants to be discussed today.

It's been a while since I've checked in with the members of my community (that's you!) about what you want to plant and grow in your careers, and this seems like the perfect time to do that. Not only do I want to know what you're intending for this year, but I bet it would be inspiring for you to see what others are up to as well!
