The content they lead to is always as special as we have come to expect from you, but it has also been a "What now?" surprise-filled romp into seeing how much you are creating when I go to the urls for the first time. I am intrigued with what your Take 5 for March will look like, and I will keep following along, for there is a fresh and exciting Joanna story getting written right now.

I encourage you to take more time exploring what you wrote here in some private journaling time if this was indeed a stream-of-consciousness sharing here.

Girl, you are a phenomenal <em>Mālama</em> coach; I sincerely feel it is part of your genius the way Seth Godin is now describing it in <em>Linchpin:</em> <blockquote>“A genius looks at something that others are stuck on and gets the world unstuck.”</blockquote> Káren, your Ruzuku challenge was OUTSTANDING, and I was so thrilled I was able to participate as part of my February too.

The 5 things I have learned in February: 1. How much labels get in my way. I took a blogging break not so much for the break (as I have been writing and creating a lot in other places) but to peel off some labels, try out some others, and explore what happens when I apply new / different ones 2. Poetry is fun... I've written & shared more and more in February, and really enjoyed it. i've just done it quickly, without time to edit, worry or self-criticise, and it's been great 3. Learned some new skills in digital storytelling - creating audio slideshows with photos / audio. Made me remember how I love learning / mastering new technical skills. Now need to work out how to apply 4. Learned a lot by reaching out and making connections this month, and asking people for help and advice. The momentum fell away a bit later in the month, I need to continue in March & reinforce the habit to get the benefits 5. I've been doing some learning with a study partner - it's been so energising to have someone else who's keen and interested to read with, share ideas with, exchange notes... Looking forward to learning more both about the content and the way of learning in March If I'm allowed one more... I've learned that joyful learners don't stop learning, they just learn new ways to connect, share, laugh, inspire and support each other :-) Aloha Rosa, thank you for hosting RFL over here, and I am doubly glad to be visiting today, knowing you are enjoying an ‘ordinary Sunday’.

2. Poetry is fun… I’ve written & shared more and more in February, and really enjoyed it. i’ve just done it quickly, without time to edit, worry or self-criticise, and it’s been great

3. Learned some new skills in digital storytelling – creating audio slideshows with photos / audio. Made me remember how I love learning / mastering new technical skills. Now need to work out how to apply

Here are my five: 1 - It was good to step back in front of the group of eager learners at PodCamp WesternMass and take them through Blogging 101 2 - The fickleness of New England's weather is no longer unique to our area, it seems everyone is having many changes to adjust to 3 - each new day is a commencement on the remainder of life, it becomes a great day when three things occur: you learn something, you help someone, you laugh 4 - each new day is a commencement on the remainder of life, it becomes a good day when any combination of two of these three things occur: you learn something, you help someone, you laugh 5 - the "essence of Steve" is being further refined. I manage change to create a good experience.

I love that you've brought back RFL here... thank you February has been a HUGE month for me - here's five off the top of my head: 1. Sometimes, if you build it, trust in it and just Do It (in true Nike fashion:) they WILL come... I launched my first Ruzuku challenge for The Calm Space in February, and ended up with a waiting list for the next one! 2. Community and connection make for powerful learning, not only for those there to learn, but also those there to teach 3. Men and women think differently. Um, OK, I already knew this one, but it was reinforced during the challenge. 4. Loving yourself builds belief. Belief builds courage. Courage leads to action. Action leads to amazing discoveries... 5. That it is OK to step up and say 'no more' when it's time to move on (this is something I learned watching your courage, Rosa, when you made that decision to call 'game over' for JJL...) Yay Rosa! I love that you’ve brought back RFL here… thank you
