So many people are ashamed of their jealousies and deny them or push them away. I argue that we should welcome these feelings with open arms. When confronted with a pang of jealousy, ask yourself “What do I want? What do I need? What is my jealousy telling me?

Getting work done this week has been tough. As soon as I find a flow, my phone pings with more breaking news. The news can’t seem to stop breaking. And I am fascinated and addicted. I cannot believe the events of this past week. The highs and the lows. Staying up late to watch a historical run-off election one night and then watch an attempted coup the next. This is simply not normal. How can you get work done with so much going on in our country?

It is hard to believe 2021 is almost here. With it comes a lot of hope, but we also continue to live with uncertainty. I don’t know about you, but I am sick of uncertainty. I want to know when we will be able to hug our parents again, when our kids can go back to school in person and when I can sit in my favorite coffee shop.

Given how much is still up in the air, I am proposing we perform a year-end celebration and preparation that helps provide a little comfort and excitement even in uncertain times.
