Wednesday Dogspiration: Autumn Dreams (Patreon)

Last week's inspirational dogget pic was on a Friday, but then I thought maybe Wednesdays are better. I mean, not that I'm saying it's definitely going to be a regular thing, but taking pics of my dog and making them into inspirational posters on my phone and sharing them with just a few friends is kinda a hobby already. And it can help focus the flood of dogget pictures into a more meaningful and manageable form. 

Still figuring this Patreon thing out. I wouldn't expect to keep up the current rate of almost-daily posts.

Today I am thinking about DREAMS. If this Patreon thing works out better than expected and I am truly able to work on whatever I want, what would I do? In a sense, that's what I'd been doing for four years---working on whatever I want, except with a larger budget, and a team, and equipment, office, etc. Without a team, it limits what I can do in some ways, though there's opportunity to do deep work of a different kind.

Boss responsibilities take a lot of time and energy. I love it when it's going well, but wasting four months of my life on a failed attempt at team research fundraising is making me really feel the draw of dropping it all and getting back to deep work. And thanks to the generous contributions y'all have made so far, I'm starting to really feel the possibilities.

Fall is my favourite season. I love the leaves, the smell, the crunch, the skittering sound of them blowing in the wind, the changing temperature, hot drinks, hot soup, reading cozy by the fire, preparing for winter, holing up and traveling less and taking more time to look inward.

Believe in autumn dreams, my friend!
