Hi ,
Yesterday I turned 50!
While the temptation was there to spend the day celebrating or perhaps even bemoaning how old I feel, I decided to spend some time today reflecting upon how I want the year ahead to be.
As you may have seen - lately, I've been feeling stuck, and I have resolved that this year of being 50 will be one in which I begin moving again.
This year is a year I intend to get unstuck.
As part of that, I'm sharing a weekly 'prompt' via an email to those who want to join me on the journey that I hope will give us all a little push to contemplate ways where we might find that missing spark in our lives.
This is the first prompt.

In putting together my "Find Your Spark" project, I'm using a new(ish) platform called Ghost.io which is focused solely on professional publishing. Ghost is a powerful app for new-media
creators to publish, share, and grow a business around their content. It comes with modern tools to build a website, publish content, send newsletters & offer paid subscriptions to members.
