2 Favorite Parts
Your story is important
Write What Matters: Capture the Ordinary in the midst of Extraordinary
The big things are important but they’re also vague and unmanageable. And they can overwhelm us when we think about writing. It’s nearly impossible to capture the enormity of a pandemic … but you don’t need to. It’s not effective. Your daily details are what this is really about. What can you say about those?
The power of words: We are not living in fear; we are strategizing
Words are powerful, especially in times of uncertainty. Consider this switch in language during coronavirus shutdowns: it is not about fear. It’s about strategy.
Thankful or Grateful? What’s the difference?
Words carry weight that we can feel in our mouths and in our minds. So in that vein, I propose that thankful is a little lighter, whereas grateful carries more weight.

Story is everything -- the stories we tell ourselves and the stories we tell others. They matter, whether it’s the importance of having the right mindset or the importance of building relatability in your business. Or a combination of the two.
And the name? "2 Favorite Parts" emerged from a nightly exercise in gratitude with my son, in which we'd talk about the 2 Favorite Parts of our day.
